Android : Beacons list is always empty Android in beaconsDidRange

[brajeshsipl]

Version

1.0.1

Platform

Android

OS version

android 6.0...

Steps to reproduce

When I am ranging a beacon with region data I am getting an empty list of a beacon in the event handler below DeviceEventEmitter.addListener('beaconsDidRange', data => { console.log('beaconsDidRange beacons!', data); });

Expected behavior

{ region: { identifier: 'iBeacon', uuid: 'XXXXXXX-XXX-XXXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXX' }, beacons: [ { uuid: 'XXXXXXX-XXX-XXXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXX', accuracy: -1, proximity: 'unknown', major: X, rssi: 0, minor: X } ] }

Actual behavior

{ beacons: [], uuid: 'XXXXXXX-XXX-XXXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXX', identifier: 'iBeacon' }

[umair-khanzada]

Any update, facing the same issue.

[umair-khanzada]

@flpputsch @SubhashisPK have you solved?

[SubhashisPK]

no @umair-khanzada did not able to solve.

[ukhanzada-nisum-com]

Did anyone solve this?

[maevic]

I had to add <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/> to the AndroidManifest.xml and of course grant the permission to make it work.

[umair-khanzada]

@maevic Not working.

"react-native": "0.60.5",
"react-native-beacons-manager": "^1.0.7"

[maevic]

Sorry, forgot to mention that I also patched the module as per PR #155. This enabled me to use react native version 0.61.2.

[umair-khanzada]

@maevic I have changed in my package.json

 "react-native-beacons-manager": "github:jitsi/react-native-beacons-manager#d9e8040082570a951f3c8a7a5c96c073821841d6"

and check react-native-beacons-manager > android > build.gradle it is updated according to #155 PR

implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
implementation 'com.facebook.react:react-native:+'

Permissions

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION"/>

1. run cache clean
2. and rebuild

but still didn't work, showing empty beacons array []

[maevic]

Did you check in the app details on your android phone that the permissions are actually granted and did you update your react native to version 0.61.2? If I recall correctly I got some problems using 0.60.5.

[umair-khanzada]

updated react-native: 0.61.2 but still didn't work for me

[umair-khanzada]

It was due to permission looks like even if you ask for permissions in the manifest, Android might not grant them. Apparently the way you solve this is by using react-native's PermissionsAndroid and asking in app to get ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION location-enabled

thanks, @maevic

[ntvinhit]

Still empty even ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission is granted

[maevic]

Sorry, I only used it in Android so far.

I was able to solve the problem with this. <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN"/>
