Beacons - Monitoring

Beacon Monitoring allows you to scan for a region of beacons while your app is in the background, but will only provide values based exactly on the filters you have installed.

Setup

CAUTION

You are using a component that uses an Android foreground service! You must have an application icon set or a drawable resource called notification in order for this background operation to work For additional information, please read Android Foreground Services

Tip

iOS specifically limits you to 20 regions that you can monitor for at any given time. Android does not have this limitation.

Registering a Beacon Region for Monitoring

IBeaconMonitoringManager manager;

await manager.StartMonitoring(new BeaconRegion(
    "MyBeaconRegion",
    "B9407F30-F5F8-466E-AFF9-25556B57FE6D",
    1,
    1
));

Unregistering a Beacon Region for Monitoring

await manager.StopMonitoring(new BeaconRegion(
    "MyBeaconRegion",
    "B9407F30-F5F8-466E-AFF9-25556B57FE6D",
    1,
    1
));

Background Delegate

using Shiny.Beacons;

namespace Sample.Beacons;


public partial class MyBeaconMonitorDelegate : IBeaconMonitorDelegate
{
    // works with dependency injection if you need it

    public async Task OnStatusChanged(BeaconRegionState newStatus, BeaconRegion region)
    {

    }
}

#if ANDROID
// this allows you to customize the foreground service notification
public partial class MyBeaconMonitorDelegate : IAndroidForegroundServiceDelegate
{
    public void Configure(AndroidX.Core.App.NotificationCompat.Builder builder)
    {

    }
}
#endif
