bluetooth - How to use Broadcom BLE SDK (SMART 4.0) in Android 4.X -


i trying develop ble bluetooth (smart) application android.

i managed download broadcom ble sdk, install through android sdk manager explained on web site , download projects examples.

when tried push 1 of examples tests phones (htc 1 s, htc 1 x both bluetooth ble feature), facing following issue:

install_failed_missing_shared_library 

is there possibility include broadcom library described in androidmanifest.xml file ? <uses-library android:name="com.broadcom.bt.le" android:required="true"/>

is managed test broadcom projects examples? , on phone?

according post, bug has been discovered on samsung galaxy s3, didn't find information htc products.


update : great news!!!

last android version 4.3 (jelly bean) support low-energy bluetooth smart accessories.

https://developer.bluetooth.org/pages/bluetooth-android-developers.aspx

not sure every phones have update (even last htc 1 m7 example) next phones embed major release.

the problem if phone doesn't have .so file installed, isn't going help.

and device (as of writing) have .so file if broadcom has blessed device.

for example, latest official build (4.0.4) reasonably-new samsung galaxy nexus not.

for don't know, there 2 different (incompatible) apis low-energy bluetooth (btle, apparently called bt smart). 1 broadcom, , other motorola. unsurprisingly, each works on phone has vendor's chips in it.

this terrible, terrible situation, , google needs moving on solution or android become totally irrelevant in little industry known healthcare!!!!!
