ibeacon - Does Android Beacon Library with Bluetooth 3.0 device detect BLE beacons? -
i thinking developing android app using android beacon libary run using either bluetooth 3.0 or 4.0 ble, able see ble beacons. reason there still lot of mobile devices supporting bt 3.0 out there, not lot supporting bt 4.0. android beacon libary failed when detecting bt 3.0 expects bt le device. there work around ?
the android beacon library based on bluetooth low energy beacon detection requires bluetooth 4.0. classic bluetooth, supported bluetooth 3.0, uses incompatible sdks , not supported library. bluetooth beacon technology exclusively based on bluetooth low energy because mobile devices have limited battery capacity , not practical scan classic bluetooth devices regularly without draining batteries.
