Android Question BLE vs iBLE

[iCAB]

Hi There

Can someone tell me why the information outputted to the log screen is different between the 2 implementations?

A typical B4A output looks like:

Found: , 6E:A6:00:FE:D2:8D, RSSI = -39, (MyMap) {1=[B@5c30ea4, 10=[B@95b640d, -1=[B@373bfc2, 0=[B@ec1f1d3}

A typical B4I output looks like:

Found: , 0ED03A0B-1294-C733-AE1B-3A16B2B9DE3D, RSSI = -89, (read only map) {
    kCBAdvDataIsConnectable = 1;
    kCBAdvDataTxPowerLevel = 12;
}

Using B4I, I am able to detect a device using its name, while with B4A I don't see the device (maybe it's there by there is no easy way for me to identify it)
Also with B4I you can see the device UUID, while I don't see the same info with B4A

Please advise.

Thanks,
iCAB

in my last project I used this:

Connecting to Arduino with BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy)

In the previous example we broadcasted a single byte as part of the advertising data: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/ble-hm-10-module-broadcasting-a-single-byte.65785/ In this example the Android or iOS device (only one at a time) will connect to the BLE peripheral and read and write...

The underlying APIs are completely different so the output is different. Don't try to extract anything from this string.

For Each Key As Int In AdvertisingData.Keys
 Dim b() As Byte = AdvertisingData.Get(Key)
 Log(Key & ": " & BytesToString(b, 0, b.Length, "utf8")) 'not safe. can throw an exception
  Log(Key & ": " & bc.HexFromBytes(b)) 'safe
Next

Thanks guys for your reply,

@Erel
Is there anything common in the returned data to identify the same device in B4A and B4I?

Thank you!

1. What is the output of the code I posted?
2. Why aren't you using the Name and DeviceId parameters?

Hi Erel,

Please see the output that I am getting. That's why I am unable to use the name properly.
The first section of the file outputted using B4A, the second section is using B4I.
The device I am looking for is "WWA1 BLE"

Thanks for your help, greatly appreciated!

try the code in post #2
change the uuid with your uuid from your device

Thanks, let me give it a try
