Using Qt 5.8, can I send & receive beacons on android & iOS devices?
-
I want to use my Qt app based on
Qt5.8
to be able to send & receive beacons in iBeacon format.When I run the heart-rate listener example in
Qt5.8
oniOS
, it is able scan some nearby beacon devices.But running it on android gives the following error:
W libheartrate-server.so: (null):0 ((null)): qt.bluetooth.android: LE advertising not implemented for Android
Is beacons based communication (send+receive) on
Qt 5.8
fully supported onandroid
&iOS
?I need some example of sending & receiving at least some numbers back & forth using Qt BLE API. Please suggest

@Nelson_Piquet I don't think this warning is related to your problem, as "Bluetooth LE Advertisement & Scanning" isn't supported on iOS as well (see http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtbluetooth-index.html). Not sure whether the problem is missing support for "Bluetooth LE Peripheral" on Android.

I did some figuring out. It is a problem to run the heart server bluetooth example. This constraint is ok. All I need is some example code to send & receive data using BLE on Qt 5.8. Is there an example other than the heart listener app . Can someone provide an existing example of this wtih Qt ?
