Bluetooth LE Scanner

The application allows users to easily scan and gather information about Low Energy Bluetooth Devices that are within their vicinity. This is made possible through a library that provides access to a Bluetooth LE device's Advertisement Records. The library also offers additional features such as a running average RSSI reading, a parser for iBeacons' Manufacturer data record, and distance indicators for iBeacons (Near, Far, Immediate, Unknown). It also provides a somewhat inaccurate distance approximation due to real-world limitations. All the new object types in the library are Parcelable, making it easier to transfer data between different components of the application.

However, it is important to note that this application will only work on Android devices with a minimum API level of 18 (Android 4.3+). This means that older devices may not be able to use this library. Additionally, on later versions of Android, the application may require location access as discoverable devices can reveal information about the user's location. This is a security measure to protect the user's privacy.

The library is available on Github, making it easily accessible for developers to integrate into their own applications. It is constantly updated and maintained by the developer, ensuring that it is compatible with the latest Android versions and devices. The library is designed to be user-friendly and efficient, making it a valuable tool for developers who want to incorporate Bluetooth LE functionality into their applications.

In summary, this application provides a convenient way for users to scan and gather information about Low Energy Bluetooth Devices. The library it offers makes it easy for developers to access a device's Advertisement Records and provides additional features such as distance indicators and a running average RSSI reading. It is only compatible with newer Android devices and may require location access on later versions. The library is available on Github and is constantly updated and maintained by the developer.
