Android App Testing on Tinker Board

[lintg]

I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction with this. 

I've developed a test Android Application, which searches for Bluetooth beacons and have tried to run this on the Tinker Board with Android.

Firstly Android Studio won't recognise the board when the USB is plugged in to the Mac so I have to remotely connect over the network using ADB and then it allows me to install. 

When the application runs, it doesn't crash but it doesn't detect the beacons like the version installed on my phone.

To my knowledge the code and permissions should be the same for both the phone and tablet versions of Android.

Any ideas?

Hi lintg,

Could you try another app like "Beacon Scanner" to search beacon?

And "BLE Central,peripheral check" to check supported function.

Hi Lyle,

After installing these apps Beacon Scanner picks up the signal of the beacon so I guess this isn't a hardware related issue.

Any ideas?

Hi lintg,

I have no experience on android beacon api.

Some advices
1. check your Bluetooth permission
2. check debug message some error or not.
3. get some sample code from google ...

wow, something looks good
