I have an interesting problem...

[kimble01]

Here is the scenario:
Device A is running custom software (built with B4A) which includes services that communicate to a webservice. It is an embedded device with no human intervention possible.

Device B needs to be able to know when it's within proximity to Device A. This device will be able to have user intervention, and it can access the central webservice.

I thought Bluetooth would be the solution to this, but I can't seem to instigate a connection from B to A, even with the Mac and setting Device a to listen.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The target Android platform for Device A is 2.3. Device B could be any Android build.

Thanks in advance.

No Love?

Hey everybody thanks for all the help, dunno what I'd do without such strong community support.

(Sarcasm, to explain the obvious)

Problem

Hi there, it is difficult to help you without seeing your code or some of your code at least, what exactly is the problem, can you post your code and what the problem is exactly?

Cheers,

Indeed hard to guess, but

does the device have bluetooth?
is bluetooth on?
is discovery mode on?

so there's a lot to double check first before posting code.
