Good day. In my application i want to use background and foreground beacons scan. For this task i used AltBeacon library. But after device reboot background scan not starts.



My algorith looks like:




  • When application started, start monitor and attach lifecycle listener
    for detect when activity dies.


  • When activity dies - start background scan.


  • When activity goes back to front - stop backgroun and run foreground.



What i have now:



At first - foreground "service" (not really service, just class)



class BeaconForegroundService(private val application: Application) : BeaconConsumer {



private var beaconManager: BeaconManager? = null



companion object {

    private const val REGION_UID = "region_uid"

}



override fun getApplicationContext(): Context {

    return application.applicationContext

}



override fun unbindService(p0: ServiceConnection) {

    application.unbindService(p0)

}



override fun bindService(p0: Intent, p1: ServiceConnection, p2: Int): Boolean {

    return application.bindService(p0, p1, p2)

}



override fun onBeaconServiceConnect() {



    beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.clear()

    beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.add(AltBeaconParser())

    beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.add(BeaconParser().setBeaconLayout(BeaconParser.URI_BEACON_LAYOUT))

    beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.add(BeaconParser().setBeaconLayout(BeaconParser.EDDYSTONE_TLM_LAYOUT))

    beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.add(BeaconParser().setBeaconLayout(BeaconParser.EDDYSTONE_UID_LAYOUT))

    beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.add(BeaconParser().setBeaconLayout(BeaconParser.EDDYSTONE_URL_LAYOUT))

    beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.add(BeaconParser().setBeaconLayout("m:2-3=0215,i:4-19,i:20-21,i:22-23,p:24-24,d:25-25"))

    beaconManager!!.backgroundMode = false



    beaconManager!!.addMonitorNotifier(object : MonitorNotifier {

        override fun didDetermineStateForRegion(p0: Int, p1: Region?) {

            Timber.d("FGBeacon: didDetermineStateForRegion INSIDE = ${p0 == MonitorNotifier.INSIDE}")

        }



        override fun didEnterRegion(p0: Region?) {

            Timber.d("FGBeacon: didEnterRegion")

        }



        override fun didExitRegion(p0: Region?) {

            Timber.d("FGBeacon: didExitRegion")

        }

    })

    beaconManager!!.addRangeNotifier { mutableCollection: MutableCollection<Beacon>, region: Region ->

        Timber.d("FGBeacon $mutableCollection")

    }

    beaconManager!!.startMonitoringBeaconsInRegion(Region(REGION_UID, null, null, null))

    beaconManager!!.startRangingBeaconsInRegion(Region(REGION_UID, null, null, null))

}



fun startScan() {

    beaconManager = BeaconManager.getInstanceForApplication(application)

    beaconManager!!.bind(this)

}



fun stopScan() {

    beaconManager?.unbind(this)

}


}



Background scan inside application class:



class MyApplication : Application(), BootstrapNotifier {



// Fields

private var beaconManager: BeaconManager? = null

private var backgroundPowerSaver: BackgroundPowerSaver ?= null

private var regionBootstrap : RegionBootstrap ?= null

private var foregroundService: BeaconForegroundService ?= null

val REGION_UID = "region_uid"



//Method for start background scan here



fun startScan() {

        beaconManager = BeaconManager.getInstanceForApplication(this)

        beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.clear()

        beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.add(AltBeaconParser())

        beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.add(BeaconParser().setBeaconLayout(BeaconParser.URI_BEACON_LAYOUT))

        beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.add(BeaconParser().setBeaconLayout(BeaconParser.EDDYSTONE_TLM_LAYOUT))

        beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.add(BeaconParser().setBeaconLayout(BeaconParser.EDDYSTONE_UID_LAYOUT))

        beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.add(BeaconParser().setBeaconLayout(BeaconParser.EDDYSTONE_URL_LAYOUT))

        beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.add(BeaconParser().setBeaconLayout("m:2-3=0215,i:4-19,i:20-21,i:22-23,p:24-24,d:25-25"))



        val notificationBuilder = Notification.Builder(this)

        notificationBuilder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher_foreground)

        notificationBuilder.setContentTitle("Scanning for beacons")

        val intent = Intent(this, MainActivity::class.java)

        val pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, MainActivity.BEACON_REQUEST_CODE, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT)

        notificationBuilder.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)



        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {

            val channel = NotificationChannel("MyChannelId", "NotyName", NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT)

            channel.description = "NotyDesc"

            val notificationManager = getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE) as NotificationManager

            notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(channel)

            notificationBuilder.setChannelId(channel.id)

        }









        val region = Region(REGION_UID, null, null, null)



        beaconManager!!.enableForegroundServiceScanning(notificationBuilder.build(), 456)

        beaconManager!!.setEnableScheduledScanJobs(false)

        beaconManager!!.backgroundBetweenScanPeriod = 0

        beaconManager!!.backgroundScanPeriod = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMillis(5)

        beaconManager!!.backgroundMode = true



        regionBootstrap  = RegionBootstrap(this, region)

        backgroundPowerSaver = BackgroundPowerSaver(this)



        beaconManager!!.addRangeNotifier { mutableCollection: MutableCollection<Beacon>, r: Region ->

            Timber.d("PBeacon $mutableCollection")

        }

    }



//Disable background scan if application start in foreground

fun disableMonitoring() {

        regionBootstrap?.disable()

        regionBootstrap = null

        beaconManager?.removeAllRangeNotifiers()

    }



  override fun didDetermineStateForRegion(p0: Int, p1: Region?) {

        Timber.d("PBeacon: StateForRegion INSIDE = ${p0 == MonitorNotifier.INSIDE}")

    }



//Start ranging if we inside region

    override fun didEnterRegion(p0: Region?) {

        Timber.d("PBeacon: I see a beacon first time")

        beaconManager!!.startRangingBeaconsInRegion(Region(REGION_UID, null, null, null))



    }



//Stop ranging if we move out from region

    override fun didExitRegion(p0: Region?) {

        Timber.d("PBeacon : I no longer see a beacon.")

        beaconManager!!.stopRangingBeaconsInRegion(Region(REGION_UID, null, null, null))

    }


And finally - registered listener for detect foreground/background app state changes (inside onCreate of application)



registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(object : ActivityLifecycleCallbacks {



            //Stop background scan and start foreground

            override fun onActivityStarted(activity: Activity?) {

                disableMonitoring() 



                foregroundService = BeaconForegroundService(this@MyApplication)

                foregroundService!!.startScan()

            }



              //Stop foreground scan and start background

              override fun onActivityStopped(activity: Activity?) {

                foregroundService?.stopScan()

                foregroundService = null



                startScan()

            }



        })

After reboot:



I/BeaconManager: BeaconManager started up on pid 7407 named 'com.myapp' for application package 'com.myapp'.  isMainProcess=true

And that's all. No detections, waiting (20+ minutes)



So




  1. Is it bug of library/device or i doing something wrong?

  2. Can we use background scan without notification?

  3. Whan we start application again (to foreground) notification refreshed. How can i avoid this?


Big thanks

    Try moving the startRanginfBeaconsInRegion() call inside the didDetermineStateForRegion method. After restart, the region state is persisted, so you will not get a new call to didEnterRegion if you were already inside when the app last was running. The didDetermineState callback is always made on restart so it is a good place to trigger starting ranging..

    Also, make sure the startScan() call is triggered in the Application class' onCreate method, and verify by debug lines that it gets called.

    If you are using Android 8+, make sure you have library version 2.15.2 or higher (the version shows up in the logs) otherwise starting a foreground service in the background won't work. See: github.com/AltBeacon/android-beacon-library/pull/746

  • @davidgyoung Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, not working. Lib version - 2.15.2 onCreate of application not called. I move startRangingBeaconsInRegion inside didDetermineStateForRegion callback method, but after reboot still not started.

  • @davidgyoung So i took code from example (github.com/AltBeacon/android-beacon-library-reference/blob/…) and now scanner work after reboot! But no beacons found :( I see that didDetermineStateForRegion always has first arg = 0, it's "OUTSIDE". D/BeaconService: Currently monitoring 1 regions. I/BeaconService: stop ranging received D/BeaconService: Currently ranging 0 regions.

D/BeaconParser: Parsing beacon layout: m:2-3=beac,i:4-19,i:20-21,i:22-23,p:24-24,d:25-25


And that's all. No detections, waiting (20+ minutes)



So




  1. Is it bug of library/device or i doing something wrong?

  2. Can we use background scan without notification?

  3. Whan we start application again (to foreground) notification refreshed. How can i avoid this?


Big thanks

    Try moving the startRanginfBeaconsInRegion() call inside the didDetermineStateForRegion method. After restart, the region state is persisted, so you will not get a new call to didEnterRegion if you were already inside when the app last was running. The didDetermineState callback is always made on restart so it is a good place to trigger starting ranging..

    Also, make sure the startScan() call is triggered in the Application class' onCreate method, and verify by debug lines that it gets called.

    If you are using Android 8+, make sure you have library version 2.15.2 or higher (the version shows up in the logs) otherwise starting a foreground service in the background won't work. See: github.com/AltBeacon/android-beacon-library/pull/746

  • @davidgyoung Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, not working. Lib version - 2.15.2 onCreate of application not called. I move startRangingBeaconsInRegion inside didDetermineStateForRegion callback method, but after reboot still not started.

  • @davidgyoung So i took code from example (github.com/AltBeacon/android-beacon-library-reference/blob/…) and now scanner work after reboot! But no beacons found :( I see that didDetermineStateForRegion always has first arg = 0, it's "OUTSIDE". D/BeaconService: Currently monitoring 1 regions. I/BeaconService: stop ranging received D/BeaconService: Currently ranging 0 regions.

Good day. In my application i want to use background and foreground beacons scan. For this task i used AltBeacon library. But after device reboot background scan not starts.



My algorith looks like:




  • When application started, start monitor and attach lifecycle listener
    for detect when activity dies.


  • When activity dies - start background scan.


  • When activity goes back to front - stop backgroun and run foreground.



What i have now:



At first - foreground "service" (not really service, just class)



class BeaconForegroundService(private val application: Application) : BeaconConsumer {



private var beaconManager: BeaconManager? = null



companion object {

    private const val REGION_UID = "region_uid"

}



override fun getApplicationContext(): Context {

    return application.applicationContext

}



override fun unbindService(p0: ServiceConnection) {

    application.unbindService(p0)

}



override fun bindService(p0: Intent, p1: ServiceConnection, p2: Int): Boolean {

    return application.bindService(p0, p1, p2)

}



override fun onBeaconServiceConnect() {



    beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.clear()

    beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.add(AltBeaconParser())

    beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.add(BeaconParser().setBeaconLayout(BeaconParser.URI_BEACON_LAYOUT))

    beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.add(BeaconParser().setBeaconLayout(BeaconParser.EDDYSTONE_TLM_LAYOUT))

    beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.add(BeaconParser().setBeaconLayout(BeaconParser.EDDYSTONE_UID_LAYOUT))

    beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.add(BeaconParser().setBeaconLayout(BeaconParser.EDDYSTONE_URL_LAYOUT))

    beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.add(BeaconParser().setBeaconLayout("m:2-3=0215,i:4-19,i:20-21,i:22-23,p:24-24,d:25-25"))

    beaconManager!!.backgroundMode = false



    beaconManager!!.addMonitorNotifier(object : MonitorNotifier {

        override fun didDetermineStateForRegion(p0: Int, p1: Region?) {

            Timber.d("FGBeacon: didDetermineStateForRegion INSIDE = ${p0 == MonitorNotifier.INSIDE}")

        }



        override fun didEnterRegion(p0: Region?) {

            Timber.d("FGBeacon: didEnterRegion")

        }



        override fun didExitRegion(p0: Region?) {

            Timber.d("FGBeacon: didExitRegion")

        }

    })

    beaconManager!!.addRangeNotifier { mutableCollection: MutableCollection<Beacon>, region: Region ->

        Timber.d("FGBeacon $mutableCollection")

    }

    beaconManager!!.startMonitoringBeaconsInRegion(Region(REGION_UID, null, null, null))

    beaconManager!!.startRangingBeaconsInRegion(Region(REGION_UID, null, null, null))

}



fun startScan() {

    beaconManager = BeaconManager.getInstanceForApplication(application)

    beaconManager!!.bind(this)

}



fun stopScan() {

    beaconManager?.unbind(this)

}


}



Background scan inside application class:



class MyApplication : Application(), BootstrapNotifier {



// Fields

private var beaconManager: BeaconManager? = null

private var backgroundPowerSaver: BackgroundPowerSaver ?= null

private var regionBootstrap : RegionBootstrap ?= null

private var foregroundService: BeaconForegroundService ?= null

val REGION_UID = "region_uid"



//Method for start background scan here



fun startScan() {

        beaconManager = BeaconManager.getInstanceForApplication(this)

        beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.clear()

        beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.add(AltBeaconParser())

        beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.add(BeaconParser().setBeaconLayout(BeaconParser.URI_BEACON_LAYOUT))

        beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.add(BeaconParser().setBeaconLayout(BeaconParser.EDDYSTONE_TLM_LAYOUT))

        beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.add(BeaconParser().setBeaconLayout(BeaconParser.EDDYSTONE_UID_LAYOUT))

        beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.add(BeaconParser().setBeaconLayout(BeaconParser.EDDYSTONE_URL_LAYOUT))

        beaconManager!!.beaconParsers.add(BeaconParser().setBeaconLayout("m:2-3=0215,i:4-19,i:20-21,i:22-23,p:24-24,d:25-25"))



        val notificationBuilder = Notification.Builder(this)

        notificationBuilder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher_foreground)

        notificationBuilder.setContentTitle("Scanning for beacons")

        val intent = Intent(this, MainActivity::class.java)

        val pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, MainActivity.BEACON_REQUEST_CODE, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT)

        notificationBuilder.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)



        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {

            val channel = NotificationChannel("MyChannelId", "NotyName", NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT)

            channel.description = "NotyDesc"

            val notificationManager = getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE) as NotificationManager

            notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(channel)

            notificationBuilder.setChannelId(channel.id)

        }









        val region = Region(REGION_UID, null, null, null)



        beaconManager!!.enableForegroundServiceScanning(notificationBuilder.build(), 456)

        beaconManager!!.setEnableScheduledScanJobs(false)

        beaconManager!!.backgroundBetweenScanPeriod = 0

        beaconManager!!.backgroundScanPeriod = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMillis(5)

        beaconManager!!.backgroundMode = true



        regionBootstrap  = RegionBootstrap(this, region)

        backgroundPowerSaver = BackgroundPowerSaver(this)



        beaconManager!!.addRangeNotifier { mutableCollection: MutableCollection<Beacon>, r: Region ->

            Timber.d("PBeacon $mutableCollection")

        }

    }



//Disable background scan if application start in foreground

fun disableMonitoring() {

        regionBootstrap?.disable()

        regionBootstrap = null

        beaconManager?.removeAllRangeNotifiers()

    }



  override fun didDetermineStateForRegion(p0: Int, p1: Region?) {

        Timber.d("PBeacon: StateForRegion INSIDE = ${p0 == MonitorNotifier.INSIDE}")

    }



//Start ranging if we inside region

    override fun didEnterRegion(p0: Region?) {

        Timber.d("PBeacon: I see a beacon first time")

        beaconManager!!.startRangingBeaconsInRegion(Region(REGION_UID, null, null, null))



    }



//Stop ranging if we move out from region

    override fun didExitRegion(p0: Region?) {

        Timber.d("PBeacon : I no longer see a beacon.")

        beaconManager!!.stopRangingBeaconsInRegion(Region(REGION_UID, null, null, null))

    }


And finally - registered listener for detect foreground/background app state changes (inside onCreate of application)



registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(object : ActivityLifecycleCallbacks {



            //Stop background scan and start foreground

            override fun onActivityStarted(activity: Activity?) {

                disableMonitoring() 



                foregroundService = BeaconForegroundService(this@MyApplication)

                foregroundService!!.startScan()

            }



              //Stop foreground scan and start background

              override fun onActivityStopped(activity: Activity?) {

                foregroundService?.stopScan()

                foregroundService = null



                startScan()

            }



        })

D/ScanHelper: Beacon packet detected for: id1: b5b182c7-eab1-4988-aa99-b5c1517008d9 id2: 1 id3: 57197 with rssi -46

D/RangeState: adding id1: b5b182c7-eab1-4988-aa99-b5c1517008d9 id2: 1 id3: 57197 to existing range for: org.altbeacon.beacon.service.RangedBeacon@332c859


After reboot:



I/BeaconManager: BeaconManager started up on pid 7407 named 'com.myapp' for application package 'com.myapp'.  isMainProcess=true

D/BeaconParser: Parsing beacon layout: m:2-3=beac,i:4-19,i:20-21,i:22-23,p:24-24,d:25-25


And that's all. No detections, waiting (20+ minutes)



So




  1. Is it bug of library/device or i doing something wrong?

  2. Can we use background scan without notification?

  3. Whan we start application again (to foreground) notification refreshed. How can i avoid this?


Big thanks

    Try moving the startRanginfBeaconsInRegion() call inside the didDetermineStateForRegion method. After restart, the region state is persisted, so you will not get a new call to didEnterRegion if you were already inside when the app last was running. The didDetermineState callback is always made on restart so it is a good place to trigger starting ranging..

    Also, make sure the startScan() call is triggered in the Application class' onCreate method, and verify by debug lines that it gets called.

    If you are using Android 8+, make sure you have library version 2.15.2 or higher (the version shows up in the logs) otherwise starting a foreground service in the background won't work. See: github.com/AltBeacon/android-beacon-library/pull/746

  • @davidgyoung Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, not working. Lib version - 2.15.2 onCreate of application not called. I move startRangingBeaconsInRegion inside didDetermineStateForRegion callback method, but after reboot still not started.

  • @davidgyoung So i took code from example (github.com/AltBeacon/android-beacon-library-reference/blob/…) and now scanner work after reboot! But no beacons found :( I see that didDetermineStateForRegion always has first arg = 0, it's "OUTSIDE". D/BeaconService: Currently monitoring 1 regions. I/BeaconService: stop ranging received D/BeaconService: Currently ranging 0 regions.

count number of partitions of a set with n elements into k subsets

Image
up vote 6 down vote favorite 1 This program is for count number of partitions of a set with n elements into k subsets I am confusing here return k*countP(n-1, k) + countP(n-1, k-1); can some one explain what is happening here? why we are multiplying with k? NOTE->I know this is not the best way to calculate number of partitions that would be DP // A C++ program to count number of partitions // of a set with n elements into k subsets #include<iostream> using namespace std; // Returns count of different partitions of n // elements in k subsets int countP(int n, int k) { // Base cases if (n == 0 || k == 0 || k > n) return 0; if (k == 1 || k == n) return 1; // S(n+1, k) = k*S(n, k) + S(n, k-1) return k*countP(n-1, k) + countP(n-1, k-1); } // Driver program int ma

A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

Image
0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{
