I have a Bluetooth LE device that advertises every 3 seconds. The following is the beginning of the sub that handles it when found:

Sub Manager_DeviceFound (Name As String, Id As String, AdvertisingData As Map, RSSI As Double)
Log("Found: " & Name & ", " & Id & ", RSSI = " & RSSI & ", " & AdvertisingData)
If Name = "Etesian" Then

Everything works fine - for a time, an then seemingly randomly the app crashes. The log states:



Found: Etesian, F6:01:67:24:72:09, RSSI = -72, (MyMap) {1=[B@1b5cd027, 25=[B@131ab2d4, 9=[B@28d2ec7d, -1=[B@b8af772, 0=[B@15bc47c3}

Line 76 is If Name = "Etesian" Then

It would seem that some other Bluetooth ad was detected and this caused the crash? But why?

Thanks

Please use [code]code here...[/code] tags when posting code.

There is no name data in the second peripheral device so it returns Null. I will fix the library so it returns an empty string in that case. For now you should check it with:
B4X:
If Name <> Null AND Name = "Etesian"

Note that you can pass the service UUID to Scan or Scan2 and it will then only find relevant devices.

Last tip. Use this sub to build the UUID:
B4X:
Private Sub UUID(id As String) As String
#if B4A
   Return "0000" & id.ToLowerCase & "-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb"
#else if B4I
   Return id.ToUpperCase
#End If
End Sub

You can then pass the 16 bits UUID.
