    this.proximityObserver.addProximityZone(laneBzone);

}

//In one scenario i need to start again needTostartAgain() { this.proximityObserver.start(); }

stopObserver(){

proximityHandler.stop(); }

So totally 2 times i started the observer. But stopped one time after 2 times it started.

The issue is its not stopping. Can you please guide how to stop it properly ? Thanks in advance.

Hey @Raj1015120

As far as I understand your problem - Each start() will generate a new, separate observation process, with it's own observation handler. You can think about ProximityObserver as a builder for different scan processes.

So here is an example of launching multiple scans in the version 0.6.2:

// lets assume you have zoneA and zoneB declared
ProximityObserver.Handler handlerA = new ProximityObserverBuilder(context, credentials).build().addZone(zoneA).start();
...
// now to start observation for zoneB, you have to stop the previous one for zoneA:
handlerA.stop();
ProximityObserver.Handler handlerB = new ProximityObserverBuilder(context, credentials).build().addZone(zoneB).start();

In the version 0.6.2 it's kinda complicated to achieve this use case, but we're preparing new API for version 1.0.0 (available soon), which will be much simpler. A simple sneak-peek:

An example of launching multiple scans in the upcoming version 1.0.0:

    ProximityObserver po = new ProximityObserverBuilder(this, new EstimoteCloudCredentials("", 
    "")).build();
    
    ProximityZone zoneA = new ProximityZoneBuilder().forTag("aaa").inNearRange().build();
    ProximityZone zoneB = new ProximityZoneBuilder().forTag("bbb").inNearRange().build();
    
    ProximityObserver.Handler handlerA = po.startObserving(zoneA);
    ProximityObserver.Handler handlerB = po.startObserving(zoneB);
    
    // and then we can stop scan X
    handlerA.stop();
    // and scan Y separately:
    handlerB.stop();

Let me know what you think, and let me also now if your issue has been solved :)

Cheers, Paweł

Thanks for the reply.

Can you please let me know when 1.0.0 is releasing ?

[pawelDylag]

It's a matter of days, but I'll let you know :)

[Raj1015120]

Thats cool :)

Hi pawelDylag,

I integrated 0.6.2 version. I'm facing issues like that the beacon events are not listening properly. In the older version it was proper.

And one more question.

In my scenario, i need to set FarRange and NearRange to the single beacon. So in this this case i need to create 4 zones for the two beacons. Right ?

Ex.

ProximityZone zoneA_near= new ProximityZoneBuilder().forTag("aaa").inNearRange().build(); // zone 1 ProximityZone zoneA_far = new ProximityZoneBuilder().forTag("aaa").inFarRange().build(); //zone 2

ProximityZone zoneB_near= new ProximityZoneBuilder().forTag("bbb").inNearRange().build(); // zone 3 ProximityZone zoneB_far = new ProximityZoneBuilder().forTag("bbb").inFarRange().build(); // zone 4

Can you please conform the above or give the correct solutions.

Thanks!
