Android iBeacon Library for Titanium Appcelerator

This project is a module for Titanium Appcelerator, which allows Titanium apps that support Android to interact with iBeacons via an easy to use Java API.

Apps can be notified of entering/exiting iBeacon regions, and can enable ranging to receive periodic beacon proximity reports.

Getting and using the module

This module can be installed and used in Titanium projects like any other module. To download the latest binary module, check out the dist/ directory in this project.

Once installed, read the documentation (it lives in the documentation/ directory) to learn how to interact with your iBeacons.

Requires for building

If you wish to build this module yourself, you will need a Titanium+Android build environment consisting of:

• Titanium CLI to create module projects (since Release 3.3.0).
• Titanium Mobile SDK 3.2.0 or later
• All of the prerequisites for developing Android applications.
• Android NDK Release 9.d or later
• Ant 1.7.1 or above must be installed and in your system PATH to build from the command line.
• gperf must be installed and in your system PATH.

How to build

To build this project:

• Fork a copy
• Edit the build.properties file and change each setting therein to point to your local copy of Titanium, Android SDK, and Android NDK. Here is an example of the paths this author uses on a Mac OS X system:

	titanium.platform=/Users/jhf/Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/3.2.2.GA/android
	android.platform=/Users/jhf/androidsdk/platforms/android-10
	android.ndk=/Users/jhf/androidndk
	google.apis=/Users/jhf/androidsdk/add-ons/addon-google_apis-google-10

• Run ant dist. This creates the distribution in the dist/ directory of the project.

Other targets supported by Titanium include:

• ant clean Removes all generated zips and binaries from previous builds.
• ant install Runs the dist build target, generates a test project using example/ as the Resources, and then installs it to a connected Android device.
• ant run.emulator Launches an Android emulator for the run build target.
• ant run Runs the dist build target, generates a test project using example/ as the Resources, and then installs it to a running emulator (hint: use the run.emulator target to start up an emulator!).
