Android Question Detection of mobiles

[kepler]

Greetings

Is there a way to have an idea of how many other mobiles (not the details as phone number, model, etc. - just how many) that are near ours at a given radius?

Best regards,

Take a look at Geofencing

Geofencing just tells you if your phone moves into a certain "fenced off" area.
To detect other phones, you're probably stuck with bluetooth scanning.

Hi

Yes, indeed geofence is quite interesting mcqueccu but it seems not to do the job.
Is there a simple script on the forum that shows how to make a bluetooth scan and count - or perhaps you could please show me the basics andymc, if you have the time?

Note: perhaps something like Erel did at https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/jbluetooth-library.60184/#content - I believe this is it.

Thanks,

Kepler
