I'm building an Android application with React-native and I need the bluetooth to communicate with a particular device.
I'm using this library to scan for devices: https://polidea.github.io/react-native-ble-plx/ here's the code:
import React from "react";
import { PermissionsAndroid, View, Text, Button } from "react-native";
import { BleManager } from 'react-native-ble-plx';
const ProfileScreen = props => {
async function requestCameraPermission() {
try {
const granted = await PermissionsAndroid.request(
PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION,
{
title: 'Cool Photo App Camera Permission',
message: 'Cool Photo App needs access to your camera',
buttonNeutral: 'Ask Me Later',
buttonNegative: 'Cancel',
buttonPositive: 'OK',
},
);
if (granted === PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED) {
console.log('You can use the camera');
return true;
} else {
console.log('Camera permission denied');
return false;
}
} catch (err) {
console.warn(err);
return false;
}
}
scanAndConnect = () => {
const permission = requestCameraPermission();
if (permission) {
const bluetoothInstance = new BleManager();
bluetoothInstance.startDeviceScan(null, null, (error, device) => {
if (error) {
console.log(error);
return
} else {
console.log(device);
}
});
} else {
console.log("permission not granted")
}
};
return (
<View style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: "center", justifyContent: "center" }}>
<Text>Profile</Text>
<Button
title="Start scanning"
onPress={scanAndConnect}/>
</View>
)
}
Initially I thought it was working, but when I check the console I notice that all the devices found are like this:
Device {
id : "2C:F0:EE:19:27:CF"
isConnectable : null
localName : null
manufacturerData : "TAAQBQsUluNJ"
mtu : 23
name : null
overflowServiceUUIDs : null
rssi : -62
serviceData : null
serviceUUIDs : null
solicitedServiceUUIDs : null
txPowerLevel : null
_manager : BleManager
__proto__ : Object
}
Is this result correct? I can't find any way to understand which is my device without informations like name or localName. Am I missing something?
