Hi

Is there some way where I can directly access the beacon without installing the application? I would also like to capture the click event on the android app. Is there any tutorial available for that?

Thanks & Regards

Krishna Teja

  Hi Krishna,

  Beacon's can't force an actions on any other devices. The only thing that beacons do is to transmit small pieces of data. There has to be a piece of software somewhere that can initiate a Bluetooth scan, detect packets broadcasted by a beacon, parse it into a meaningful data, and perform some actions based on this data.

  Android does not have any built-in support to detect when Kontakt.io beacon had a button press event. That's why you need to have an app installed that can perform these operations.
