Android Bluenet Example

This is a simple project for android studio to showcase the use of the bluenet library for android. The bluenet library for android can be found here.

The project shows the following steps:

1. Initialization of the library
2. Searching for Devices
3. Connecting to a device
4. Reading a characteristic (read the PWM characteristic to check the current state)
5. Writing to a characteristic (switch Power)

The example shows to ways of how to scan for devices using the library:

1. Using the library directly to scan for devices
2. Using the BleScanService to scan for devices
