Suppose, I've 3 beacons in a room. When a person entered into that room. The Android App finds out those 3 beacons with different ranges like 1st beacon is in Immadiate range, 2nd beacon is in near range and 3rd beacon is in Far range.

  1. So, how can we find out the distances of those 3 (i.e in Meters or Feets) ?

  2. And, Which beacons Content will get in App? (1 - Immadiate or 2 - Near or 3 - Far).

    check estimote SDK and samples – Marcin Orlowski Nov 25 '14 at 09:28
  • Now, I'm getting 3 beacons UUID, Major, Minor, RSSI values. After that, suppose i want to get the content related to Beacon 1. Is it provide by default content of that or else we've to write logic for getting perticular beacons content. – Siva Polam Nov 25 '14 at 10:05
  • there's no content for beacon at all. you get the id and you do what you want with that information. beacon gives you just id. nothing more – Marcin Orlowski Nov 25 '14 at 10:11
  • @Marcin Orloski!! Thanking you. based on that id how can we get the product information to display on App. Here, I'm confusing the link between id and the product information. Can you clear this in detail – Siva Polam Nov 25 '14 at 10:22
  • how you connect id of beacon with product or group of products (or anything else) is completely up to you. – Marcin Orlowski Nov 25 '14 at 18:52

As you can check in samples 

public void onBeaconsDiscovered(Region region, final List<Beacon> beacons)
            {
    // Note that beacons reported here are already sorted by
    // estimated
    // distance between device and beacon.
}

So For your point 2

And, Which beacons Content will get in App? (1 - Immadiate or 2 - Near or 3 - Far).

Yes those discovered beacons are sorted according to distance by estimote sdk

For your point 1

So, how can we find out the distances of those 3 (i.e in Meters or Feets) ?

You need to check the SDK samples for that I just want to tell you that yes it is possible as Estimote Sample app shows the distance between beacon and device

Note that here you will still get the estimated distance
