I want my application to auto launch an activity when beacon comes within a certain distance (in my case it is 1 meter)
My activity gets launched when i plug in or plug off the charger and when i boot the device but it didn't get auto launch when i closed the application and beacon is in 1 meter.
what i want is if beacon is in 1 meter then activity should launch by itself.
I am using android beacon library and following the same steps mentioned on https://altbeacon.github.io/android-beacon-library/samples.html
My manifest file code is
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="org.altbeacon.beaconreference"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="17"
android:targetSdkVersion="21" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.bluetooth_le" android:required="false"/>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
android:name="org.altbeacon.beaconreference.MyApplicationName">
<activity
android:launchMode="singleInstance"
android:name="org.altbeacon.beaconreference.MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
