Increasing Advertisement TxPower? #38

Closed Keith3679 closed 8 years ago

Keith3679 commented 8 years ago

What is the difference between Beacon.Builder.setTxPower and BeaconTransmitter.advertiseTxPowerLevel? I did not see any value vanges for these properties in the documentation. How do you go about increasing the Tx power of the advertisement beacon?

Beacon.Builder is a simple factory to assist in creating instances of beacon objects. So the setTxPower is just a property setter.

Where as BeaconTransmitter will broadcast bluetooth advertisements, and the advertiseTxPowerLevel is the power level. You can find more information about this in the AltBeacon Transmitter repo.

I am going to close this, if you have follow up questions please post to Stack Overflow or if there are issues and feature requests please open an issue on the Android Beacon Library repo.
