Feature Request: Missing advertising data part while scanning on android
Prerequisites
- [X] I am running the latest version
- [X] I checked the documentation and found no answer
- [X] I checked to make sure that this issue has not already been filed
Current Behavior
Scanning for Advertisings: On Android currently only scan response data is returned from startDeviceScan() - see settings below -
Example for our specific device sending out following data: Manufacturer Data Struct within Default Advertising Data: 04:A4:00:8C:21:0E:B9 Another Manufacturer Data Struct within Scan Response Data: A4:04:01:CD:09:47:A8:0C:E9:6F:FF:FF:F7:FF:FF.FE:01:01:23:4D:14:DC:01:80:07:AC:90:3E:19
But all (!) Scan Result Events are only including the data of the scan response, but not the data of the default advertising data packet.
On iOS we are getting a combined packet, including bot data parts, like this: 04:A4:00:8C:21:0E:B9****01:CD:09:47:A8:0C:E9:6F:FF:FF:F7:FF:FF.FE:01:01:23:4D:14:DC:01:80:07:AC:90:3E:19
This is a bit in a strange format (because it strips A4:04 when appending to first data packet), but i works for us.
Here is how i called startDeviceScan( null, { callbackType: ScanCallbackType.AllMatches, scanMode: ScanMode.LowLatency, allowDuplicates: true }, (error: BleError | null, scannedDevice: Device | null) => { if (error) { console.error(error); return; } if (!scannedDevice) return; console.log(scannedDevice); } );
New behavior
Could you please also implement to provide advertising data (not only scan response) for android?
For us it would also be sufficient in a first step, if you provide rawBytes data byte[] | getBytes() Returns raw bytes of scan record. (https://developer.android.com/reference/android/bluetooth/le/ScanRecord)
Breaking changes
Does a feature breaks compatibility with previous version? -> No, if you provide differnent data (advertising + scan response) in multiple scanresult events within "manufacturerData" property. -> Also no, if you provide another optional property in scan events (for example "rawData") for providing raw bytes
Really appreciate your work! Thanks in advance.
Hey you found anyway to go around this, I also need advertising data and it's currenlty null on android. Also looks like support is slow around here
I also encountered the same problem. Why not give priority to such an important problem?
