Android BTLE -> Cannot find callback wrapper


I am using Android Beacon Library in my app and I copied, word for word, their example for ranging but I keep getting the error you see below the code. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am just now getting into BTLE/beacons

package com.example.josh.beacons;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.RemoteException;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.util.Log;

import org.altbeacon.beacon.Beacon;
import org.altbeacon.beacon.BeaconConsumer;
import org.altbeacon.beacon.BeaconManager;
import org.altbeacon.beacon.BeaconParser;
import org.altbeacon.beacon.RangeNotifier;
import org.altbeacon.beacon.Region;

import java.util.Collection;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements BeaconConsumer {
    protected static final String TAG = "RangingActivity";
    private BeaconManager beaconManager;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        beaconManager = BeaconManager.getInstanceForApplication(this);
        beaconManager.getBeaconParsers().add(new BeaconParser().setBeaconLayout("m:2-3=beac,i:4-19,i:20-21,i:22-23,p:24-24,d:25-25"));
        beaconManager.bind(this);
    }
    @Override
    protected void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        beaconManager.unbind(this);
    }
    @Override
    public void onBeaconServiceConnect() {
        beaconManager.setRangeNotifier(new RangeNotifier() {
            @Override
            public void didRangeBeaconsInRegion(Collection<Beacon> beacons, Region region) {
                if (beacons.size() > 0) {
                    Log.i(TAG, "The first beacon I see is about " + beacons.iterator().next().getDistance() + " meters away.");
                }
            }
        });

        try {
            beaconManager.startRangingBeaconsInRegion(new Region("myRangingUniqueId", null, null, null));
        } catch (RemoteException e) {    }
    }
}

Errors I get:

05-12 20:21:44.769 25775-25775/com.example.josh.beacons D/BluetoothAdapter: STATE_ON
05-12 20:21:44.770 25775-25775/com.example.josh.beacons D/BluetoothLeScanner: could not find callback wrapper

Solution

  • Be careful not to take lines you see in LogCat too seriously if they are not from your own code. This is especially true if the line starts with "D/", which indicates a debug line, not an error ("E/") I have built dozens of beacon apps, have seen that line more times than I can count, and can confidently say that it does not indicate a problem.

    Bottom line: you can safely ignore that message. Be aware that the Android Bluetooth stack is notoriously noisy in LogCat. This will not be the first line you learn to ignore.
