An Android library providing APIs to interact with iBeacon technology.

About

With Radius Networks' Android Beacon Service library, you can make Android versions of your iOS apps that use iBeacon technology, or come up with new Android-only creations.

It allows Android devices to use iBeacon technology much like iOS devices do. An app can request to get notifications when one or more proximity beacons appear or disappear. An app can also request to get a ranging update from one or more beacons at a frequency of 1Hz.
