Discover Bluetooth devices in background mode in android

Open rahulkd opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

I am planning to use this library for a BT Application for my company. The requirement is to discover nearby BT devices based on the RSSI values when the app runs in background. I am able to run your code and discover devices when the state of the app is foreground.

For background, I have tried react native background timer but it seems the BT discovery is not running is background.

Is there any way I can run this library in background mode for BT discovery in android ??

Thanks for your contribution.

At this point no, if you feel confident in writing the headless service in a manner that is generic and would fit well with the project, I'd definitely accept a pull request. If not, I'll need to look into it a little more and when I get time take a run at it.

Thanks for your quick response.

I am very new in react native and still learning but definitely will give it a try. Will really appreciate if you can look into this.

Actually I am planning to build a social distancing app for Covid for my organisation. Need to discover nearby BT devices in background.
