Hi Guys,

We are working on an app that communicates with a Bluetooth device. As part of the requirements the app should be able to continue to do so in background mode, but not when the phone is locked. So we need a way/event to detect the lock/unlock actions.

I found this article, but not sure how to use it with B4I and if it is the right way of doing it or not:

Thanks,
iCAB

Thanks, Erel for your reply!

How are you keeping the connection active while in the background?

We are using an SDK that needs to continuously scan for Bluetooth devices. If a device of interest, is found, it connects to the device, exchanges some information, and then disconnect.

Is this a store app?

Yes, the app will be published to the store.

This is not trivial to do. Are you using one of the standard background modes?

This is what we are using
B4X: 
#PlistExtra: <key>UIBackgroundModes</key><array><string>processing</string><string>remote-notification</string><string>location</string><string>bluetooth-central</string><string>bluetooth-peripheral</string><string>audio</string></array>

Yes, but I was hoping it is not the case as the post is from 2017, or perhaps that there is some workaround.
