[GAME] Scan Most Bluetooth Devices 1.5.2 - Android Apps and Games

Hello Guys,
Today I want to present you my first developed game for Android and I want to say hello to this really nice community.
I want to tell you how it operates.
At first it checks that Bluetooth is available.
Then it reads the user data of the found devices.
Then the discovery process starts and it searches for devices.
When it finds one, it will be added to the list of founded devices, so that it will not beeing marked as a new device when finding it again.
Then the data will be uploaded to the central ranking server and the script will return the current ranking of your device and the number of devices, that have a rank.
There is also a level system. You have to find a set number of devices to get into the new level. This number is shown just the same as the number of devices you have found.
With the achievement system you can unlock game features and with the settings you can personalize your game.
The scoreboard shows the complete rankings, also with a nice addition, that every user that was active in the last 5 minutes will be marked as 'Searching' (Needs an achievement to see).
Please give any critique you can.

No further development!
This game will not be developed further, but has a follow-up called Blue Hunter. To go to the development thread, please head over there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835079

Thanks for sharing!!

I still want a program that will connect to Bluetooth devices and send them up to 130 characters I think it was, like I had for my HTC Tilt. Never worked on the Tilt 2, never seen anything like it for the Nexus. Was fun to walk around in crowded places and send stuff to strangers.

This app is funny, just miss 2 things (or I didn't find them ^^)
1. Telling user the name of the access point, not only the MAC address (as you said, there's some funny ones )
2. Knowing who's next to me I know I'm 4th, but I don't know who's 3rd, nor who's 5th. I even didn't put my nickname in it, how am I suppose to go in front of my friends and say "Hey, look at that, Khoral's 1st. BLUETOOTH HEADSHOT ! MAC ADDRESS MONSTER KILL !". You know what I mean

Used for "good"
Maybee there is a way too use this information for good?
Scan services on devices and soo on to collect useful information for ... someone?

Would be excellent to have a web front end so we can see whos in the lead. Im second and want to know whos ahead of me.

Woah! nice try for a beginner! looking forward to your next apps...

Nice app, can you make the UI compatible for higher resolutions? (I have a Toshiba folio 100 tablet).

Very original, I'll try this when I'm out in public.

jup i sometimes am surprised by how many people let their phone running bt .
i live in berlin to.. you have to try it out for example in the o2 arena.. ( op knows waht i mean) you are going to rank up pretty fast

Haha, nice to see your answers.
Like i said, it can be very funny to scan only to be the number 1 xD
Today I was in the metro and got 100 devices.
I will add the scoreboard as soon as I can !
Would it be ok, if the name you use as Bluetooth name will be used for the scoreboard ?
@Khoral:
It is surely a bit difficult to show the name immediately after a device was found, because the names will only be researched after a finished Scan. So I have to cancel the Scan after a new device was found, research the name of the device, show a toast with the name and then start the scan again to find a new device.
But I'm sure, that I will make it. ^^
Until the new version, i wish you much fun.

cool game. can't wait to play some

The game sounds interesting! Had to go and turn my other BT devices just for this .
Was wondering.. if it doesn't already, can you make it run on the backround? So I wouldn't have to be manually turning it on every time I want it to register devices. I guess it's not the point of this game, but I'd just be interested in how many BT devices I run into on my way to work and back.

hmmm does it upload the information about the device, location, where it is? etc etc to ur website?

This does need a leader board though
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

This is aweaome, downloaded it this morning and I'm already 4th, I hope to be 2nd at the end of the day,
We need to create a thread on the peoples scores on this app while an actual leader board gets created

Aside from screenshots and the app itself, you may want to add a disclaimer that this is for entertainment only; it may sound dumb, but without it you could possibly be held liable if someone ACTUALLY decides to base decisions on this app and finds that it does not, in fact, predict anything.

We're glad you like it . There were some updates recently, so here are some explainations on fixes that were made:
UPDATE 1.2:
- fixed lowering of texts and ball indicator, when add is displayed, for various screen dpi
- fixed hints display in menu (didn't show sometimes)
- bt devices list is fixed now for long names
- after installing the game OpenFeint is now disabled by default (in order to enable it, check "Use OpenFeint" in options menu)
- fixed some graphics (hints' pointers were not suited to text length)
UPDATE 1.3:
- bt devices list is fixed (non-ascii chars are replaced with '?' now until we find better solution)
Also we are modifying steering and adding new one right now as some users requested. So if everything will go ok, in matter of day or two you should be able to experience the gameplay in the way that fits you best. Stay tuned!
Nice game, it remembers me old memories of the PC version
And here comes another update. It brings few fixes and some new features. Details below.
UPDATE 1.5:
- added steering with arrows (buttons)
- slider steering has been modified, so now you can jump using button on the opposite side of screen
- now, apart from choosing player side, you can choose side on which you want to have steering (applies to slider and arrows)
- other minor changes not worth mentioning

Well it's possible to play over Bluetooth now actually . And speaking of Wi-fi, we're working on this now, so it should be available soon (I don't want to specify date, as it might be quite inaccurate).
looks like a good one, installing
Its me again.
I would make a translation for german, if you send me the strings to translate.
Is this the Bobby Volley version like on the PC?

That would be great . Sadly at the moment our game engine doesn't support localization. We will most likely implement it in nearest future, so we might use your help now and apply translation when we will be ready. Just please give me a day or two so I can gather texts that will need to be localized.

It's nice to hear. And yes, it's similar to the PC version of blobby, but since we've written it from scratch instead of rewriting code, it's suited to android devices in 100%. Also, if you ever played multiplayer on pc version, you probably remember that on client side it was rather unplayable . In our game you'll notice that multiplayer works smooth for both client and server (even on wifi, it's not released yet, but so far tests are successful, so we should merge it in few days).

[GAME] Blue Hunter [DISCONTINUED][0.4PRE-BETA]

Blue Hunter (Android)
Hello and welcome to the development thread.
Here you can get an imagination of this project.
Introduction / Description
As you might know, Blue Hunter will be the follow-up of the Scan Most Bluetooth Devices game. The reasons for the complete restart of the same intent are those:
- Scan Most Bluetooth Devices was started up in 2010. At this time I had nothing to do with Java. I was a complete newbie. Therefore the code for the complete base was, to put it simply, ****. But I built on this base further and further. After some time I realized, that this can't be rescued anymore.
- The complete intern handling of things wasn't that, what I imagined.
- Some new features I wanted to get implemented were really not fitting into the game structure.
- And of course I wanted to do some new.
For those of you, who didn't know about Scan Most Bluetooth Devices, here is a short description of that, what the game should look like in the future.
Blue Hunter is a level-up game, in which you have to search for Bluetooth devices in range. Each unique device, that you'll find will give you some EXP. While gaining more an more EXP, you will, of couse, get into the next level. For each level-up you will unlock specific small game features, that will make it more comfortable to play. That's not all. You will have the chance to decide, if you also want to play against the others, who play this game, too. For that there will be the Leaderboard. Later you will also be able to add friends, make a player vs. player game, establish your own clan, etc. Achievements will also be integrated.
Changelog
Check out the changelog for a more descriptive view of the changes made.
Screenshots
Permissions
This game uses some Android Permissions. Here I want to explain, for what these Permissions are used:
- android.permission.BLUETOOTH - Is used to receive the state of Bluetooth and to start the discovery of Bluetooth devices.
- android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN - Is used to turn Bluetooth on, when necessary.
- android.permission.INTERNET - Is used to connect to the internet, to get the game synchronized with the game servers.
- android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE - Is used to determinate internet connectivity change.
- android.permission.VIBRATE - Is used to notify the user about a new found device by vibration.
- android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - Is only used for debug purposes.
- android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED - Used for the Update Service, which runs in the background and checks if there is a new update.
- android.permission.WAKE_LOCK - This is also for the Update Service.
Compatibility
As this game is still in a very early development stage (pre-beta), this game can only be installed on devices with Android ICS (4.*) and above.
Translations
Like in Scan Most Bluetooth Devices I depend on the community for getting translations.
At this point I want to ask you, if you think you can translate the game into your language. If this is the case I really would like to send you to the strings.xml file. There you'll find all strings, that can be translated. Later I will integrate a small platform for translators, which will make them lifes easier. Much easier ! But also this takes time.
Included Translations:
- English
- Dutch (Marc.)
- Czech (Scorpio-cz)

Privacy
Here I want to explain to you, what private information located on your device and got from other devices through Bluetooth is used by this game. This list contains and explains ALL gathered information from the game, you might worry about.
- Serial Number (S/N) - The game uses the serial number of your device, to determinate the installation of the game and to identify the unique game installation. The purpose of the use is, if you reset your Android to factory and after that install the game, it can automatically drag over the application data from the server, without user interaction.
This information is sent to the game server and stored in a database.
- Version Code - This is the internal version code of the game. It is used to check, if a new nightly version is available.
This information is sent to the game server and stored in a database.
- User Name - This is the name you use for the game. It is used to give you personalization possibilities. It's also showed in the leaderboard.
This information is sent to the game server and stored in a database.
- Remote MAC Address - This is the MAC Address of devices which you will found. It is used to determinate the manufacturer of the device and to give you specific expierence values for each manufacturer. (Some devices are more rare than others.)
This information is ONLY sent to the game server, when you are syncing your data with the game server.
- Remote Device RSSI - This is the Received Signal Strength Indication. This is used to display as information to you.
This information is ONLY sent to the game server, when you are syncing your data with the game server.
- Remote Device Name - This is the name of the remote Bluetooth device. This is used to display as information to you.
This information is ONLY sent to the game server, when you are syncing your data with the game server.
- Local Time - This is the time, that is saved, when you find a new device. This is used to display as information to you.
This information is ONLY sent to the game server, when you are syncing your data with the game server.
Note: All the information gathered by the game from your device or other devices is not associated with any other data or information. It will not be used for ad personalization or other things. It is not given to 3rd party companies or persons. This information is private and is only gathered to guarantee an optimal game experience. Your information is used to create statistics for the game itself.

Not sure that mapping people Bluetooth names on phones is a good idea even if its just a game. Seems to similar to what Google did with WiFi.

I can understand, that many people like you think very sceptical when it comes to terms of privacy and use of private information by third parties in an application, that can collect a mass of information. I'm aware of the current mindset of people and therefore privacy is a big term I'm mindful of.
That's why I've written the privacy section in the first post that extensive. Of course the list in this section will be updated, if new information is used in the current available nightly.
And that with Google & WiFi. If a big company had the information based on the Bluetooth devices, what would it be useful for ? I mean a Bluetooth device is in very most cases, unlike WiFi hotspots, in a continually movement. The only information, that a Bluetooth device automatically can offer passively and when it is in it's discoverable state is it's mac address, the specific name the user has set, the signal strength(RSSI) and the UUIDs (what this Bluetooth device offers for features). A combination of this information would be mostly useless for a company, even if it is connected with the specific location. The only case in which it could be "useful" would be to connect each different locations, when finding this specific device. But this thought is far-fetched and would be in a very huge conflict with my privacy perception. It would never be implemented in the game. And now to refer to the privacy section, I won't make any information public. The intent of this game is to level up by finding devices, not to gather information.
I hope this gave you a short explanation of my perception on this.
Greetings !
Sorry, about the double post.
In the newest nightly there is the possibility to get informed, whether a new nightly is already available. In addition to that, you can decide, whether the game checks this at start or not.
Because of this, there is one new thing in the privacy list. It's the 'Version Code'. For further information please read the first post. Thank you !
The next thing, that will be integrated is the "core". It's the complete Bluetooth device discovery. Eventually without saving, just discovery. We'll see.
Greetings !
As the game makes good progress and heads for the 0.2 alpha, I updated the Privacy list recently. The core functions are now implemented and I think now I need some volunteers to test the whole thing.
Here some screenshots:
In the third screenshot you can see, that the manufacturer of the devices are recognized based on the mac address.
My please to you is:
Can you report any devices that are declared as Unknown and you know the manufacturer ? That would be very helpful, because then I can set a specific experience-value for these manufacturers. Thanks alot !
Have fun hunting !
You just replied when I wanted to say some things about this game
First of all, it's coming pretty good again, but there are a few things missing ( What makes it nicer for me )
- A automatic update, for example you get a notification of a update is available. Press the notification to update to the newest nightly.
- A vibrate function when a device is found.
- The ranking board.
- The time you find a device added at the place of a discovery ( just add a rule ).
- An ongoing notification so you know it's running in the background.
I tested it today a lot and I think the features I said should be implented.
Bugs:
- When you open the game and press no for bleutooth then do the slider to ON and say again no for bluetooth the slider will stay at ON and it should be at OFF.
- The menu button ( the 3 dots ) is from the slider to the end of the screen clickable. Maybe this should only be a square at the right side of the screen?
- Animations are slow ( Even on a Galaxy Nexus with 4.1 ), they stutter, I mean the user Information. And also when you go into settings and touch information for example.
- If you go to found devices and touch the search button the settings button and the X of the search field are on top of each other.
And on what is the amount of XP based?
Also 2 MAC adresses with manufactures:
40:2C:F4 HP (laptop)
70:F1:A1 Dell Wireless 370 Bluetooth Mini-card
I think you don't need any more numbers of the mac adresses?
Thanks for giving a update on this.
Can we carry over scores from Scan Most Bluetooth Devices?
@Bunglechunk:
Yes, there will be an import function to use, so you can carry over your score.
As I'm not able to use my own workstation, you won't receive any updates, like some of you may noticed. But that doesn't mean, that there wasn't any progress. I could add some more features and now I'm working on some help pages for users, that may not know some features. You will receive a nightly update as fast as possible.
Greetings!
After long time of silence in this thread, I want to notify you few users of Blue Hunter, that I've updated the first post, especially the Privacy section. This applies to all new nightly versions, that are currently out there.
For more information on the changes, please be sure to look into the changelog.
As for general I can say, the development goes and goes. It feels much more professional as it was when developing for Scan Most Bluetooth devices (which interestingly got much downloads in the past from Google Play).
Also I appreciate if you would take the time to use the Bug Tracking System to report your bugs, you noticied.
Thank you for your support!
Greetings!
Re: [GAME] Blue Hunter [IN_DEV][0.2PRE_ALPHA]
If you send the strings that need to be translated please do... I didn't know that my translation was outdated... And the auto-check for updates doesn't work anymore, thanks for developing again
Edit: I had instant FC's so I set my pass, and did the 'rebuild local database', I think I backed up my score by logging in, now my score is gone :'( Is it possible to retrieve my score? Because I did login.
Hey Guys,
I wanted to notify you, that Blue Hunter has reached Alpha state. Until now there is a support version available on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maksl5.bl_hunt_sup.
This will help, keep me motivated to make something really great out of this project, so be sure to check it out.
Blue Hunter now has achievements, which will let you get a permanent boost of EXP, when finding a new device. Also here be sure to check that out! I updated the first post on this thread. There you can find the information.
Now I will focus on the social aspects of the game. Like I said, I want, that you can make 1vs1 games against other players in a specific time period. This also applies to clans, that you can lead or enter. You will have the chance to get friends and write them messages or to boast with your statistics. This is where I wanna have this game and I will concentrate on that for now.
Until this, I really have to ask that stupid question again. Do you have time to translate? Write me a PM. I'm very thankful for that.
Greetings, have a nice day!
Thanks for updating the app again! It's fun to play it now because you can achieve something. For the translation, please send the untranslated strings by PM to me

Hey MaksI5!
Nice that you are still on this project!
I can do the translation into Swedish and proof read English if needed (I will look into it). How do you want the translation? Just plain translation by editing the strings.xml file on Github? How do you want me to handle Swedish letters å,ä,ö?
@Marc. & NRK77:
Thank you for the time! You can find it here: https://github.com/Maksl5/blue-hunter/blob/master/res/values/strings.xml. Again this file is mostly updated with new strings on each version increment. You just have to send me the translated strings back via PM here or mail, what you like most. Specific characters are no problem. You can use them in your translation. I will check it and then handle it, like Android needs.
Thank you again!

No problem at all! I like this game, hope there will be as many players as in SMBD.
I've begun the translation, it will take a week or two to complete.
One error you might look into: I have the automatic check for updates option on. Every time I start the app, it says there's a new version. It says my build is 1143 and 1144 is available. If I download 1144 and install it, the app still tells me the same as before: I currently have 1143 and 1144 is available.
One other problem I'll write in a PM.
Maksi5, are you still around? Ich hoffe dass du nicht in dem deutsche Wald verloren ist.

So guys, after some delay, I'm starting to develop further. Sorry for that, but I had many things to do for a while.
I just could integrate a new small feature. I don't talk about much, 'cause pictures say more then words:
Screenshot (Dropbox)
The whole social aspects thing... I did not touch it. But I will. Be sure.
@Snah:
This is a bug that automatically occurs, when I'm too dumb to compare and check the version numbers of the apk and the actual AndroidManifest.xml. Don't worry about it, it fixes itself in the next nightly.
BTW: What do you think about saving geo coordinates when finding a device to show them on a map at a later time?

How to use GeoTask? Read below for some simple instructions:
GeoTask allows you to associate an activity to a place, and moreover, if the place is used often, you can save it for future use.
When you open the app you will find 5 buttons with icons:
- Add new task: tap it to insert a new task to be carried out, in which you specify a name, a description, an expiration date, the place where you have to carry it out (selectable from the map or from a saved location) and the radius of alert (in meters), choosing from the preset values (if you want better accuracy you must also use the GPS positioning);
- Show saved tasks: Displays saved tasks in the app, nearby ones, expired ones, completed ones and also allows you to edit and delete them;
- Insert new place: tap it to insert a new place to do activities, you must enter a name, a description, and select a location from the map;
- Show saved places: Displays the saved places in the app and allows you to edit and delete them;
- Enable notification: tap it to activate GeoTask notifications, and from that moment on, GeoTask will alert you for your to-do tasks! You can disable it at any time if you do not want to be disturbed by simply touching it again.
GeoTask, you will remember anything!

Changelog:
Version 3.7.0

looks pretty useful. I'll check it out
edit: just a suggestion, but maybe add a quick tutorial explaining how the app works and how to use it
Wow pretty good idea..will try this
Thanks mate:good:
I like this idea, but I do have an idea how to make it even better:
Would it be possible to include a method to determine the position based on the antennas (don't know how to explain it better in english), just like llama does it? (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kebab.Llama&hl=en) Surely this would only work on places that you have taught the program before, but for this an integration with Llama would be like the absolute amazing dream! So it would drain no battery at all and it would be enough for me, to be reminded of sth when I'm at work or at home.
I like the concept and the idea though!

Think the idea of polling cell towers and using those as location IDs works well in highly built up cities. I've just installed the app and will give a try for the next few days! Thanls.

it would be great if we could select multiple places for one task!
And a setting to determine the wanted language would be great, too - I use my phone in English even though I live in Germany, but judging by the translation on the PlayStore page and the critics from other German users I see there the translation is pretty bad - and therefore it might help (as a hotfix) if one could select a language instead of being forced to use the phone's default language)

Hello hannes,
thank you for your contribution!
We are glad to tell you we are working on a new GeoTask version with more functionalities, including the possibility to add multiple places for one task! It's a huge work and we are busy with our job, but we hope we could release it as soon as possible!
We are very sorry for bad translation, we don't know German and we tried to do the best we can do. We hope some user, like you, would help us translating GeoTask into more languages to make it better.
We hope you can trust us, GeoTask will be better

[APP][4.1+] Calculator - NEW, ADFREE, Simple, Fast and Lightweight

Hello, I recently launched a new Calculator on the play store.
It is simple and works like typican physical ones and it is AD-FREE. Also, it uses just a little memory (RAM) usage as it uses (<20 mb mainly) unlike other "popular" calculators that use 80+. It is stable and I have not encounter any crashes yet.
Also, it implements a history panel with any calculations you have made (calculations are stored after you press "=") and next to them there is the date you made them in order to be easier to remember what is for.
It has many customization options, from different thousands and decimal seperators and different languanges ( English, Italian, French, Spanish, Russian, Serbia, Croatian, Greek are supported for now ) to different themes to use. More themes and languanges will be added in the future.
It uses permissions only for analytics & stats and vibration for click effect.
Any feedback, review, downloads & rates ( ) are much appreciated..!!
