Hello

I have some troubles ...

Device : Samsung GS3
USB Ant Key : USB-m (new one)

Installed on the GS3 (from Google Play) :
- ANT RAdio Service
- ANT USB Service (which is activated when I connect the ANT+ USB key to the GS3)
- ANT+ demo
- ANT+ bike display demo
- ANT+ plugins

I have also installed the ANTPlusPluginSampler_1.4.0.apk from the 4.0 SDK from your web site ....

But when I launch this ANTPlusPluginSampler, I get the toast "Channel not available" .... and on the Geocache page I have "No devices found".

The ANT USB key is ok because when I use it on my PC, I can receive message from my chirp using the ANT+ display simulator.

What is wrong ?

     

New operation : I have installed services from the SDK (instead of Google Play ) Radio+USB+Plugin, but I have still the same problem ....

Channel not available

No devices found
No results received from plugin yet ....

And when I do Menu/Reset, the problem is still there ...      

If you have an app running that uses the old interface (eg. ANT+ Demo or ANT+ Bike Display Demo) it will take over every ANT channel, leaving none available for apps on the new version of the interface.

With the current ANT Radio Service, you must ensure no other apps are running which use the old interface before trying to acquire a channel.      

Thank you for the support, but I have still the same problem:
- I have desinstalled ANT+ demo
- results of operation

First test
0. Connexion of ANT-m USB key : USB service launch is proposed / confirmation by OK
1. Launch of ANT+ PLugin manager / click on Geocache Utility : No devices found

Second test
0. Connexion of ANT-m USB key : USB service launch is proposed / confirmation by OK
1. Acquire channels Ant sample : click on "Open new channel" with Rx -> #2 Rx:[105], #3 Rx[....
2. Launch of ANT+ PLugin manager / click on Geocache Utility
GeocacheScanner : searching
<Invalid>
11348

Only launching "Acquire channels" first allows to detect the key, but when scanning, I get also the strange message "Invalid" ???

So how can I avoid "Acquire channels" ?
What is the meaning of "Invalid" ?

As for the acquire channels issue, we can look into that further. Can you PM me a copy of your android logcat files for both the first and second scenarios?

That problem has disappeared ?!? .... what I have done :
- uninstall of ANT Plugin Manager
- reinstallation of ANT plugin manager

Now, ANT+ plugin sampler give access directly to the chirp ! no more problem of channel ....

Thank you for the support !!!

The following morning : problem is back .... !!! :-(

So the procedure to have the sampler working is to :
- acquire channel first
- then to launch the sampler ...
not very user friendly ... how could I avoid this

By the way, what is the usage of "Saved devices" in the ANT plugin manager ? When I click on it, I have "Device database is empty" ....
Do you have some doc to explain it ?

Where can I find the logcat files ???



     

The problem is that the problem appears when the ant key is connected to my gs3 on the usb port. So debugging with eclipse is no more possible.....

So i do not see how to get these logcats .... ?!?      

Ok...

What is the filter to be applied to select only logs concerning the ANT+ app ?

I have found "AntPluginService" ... is there any other ?

     

Not easy to get log concerning ant actions, because the time I switch to Eclipse older logcats are vanishing ....

     

If you can continue development by running the Aquire Channels Sample first, then we will look into the issue here. You will always get 'no device found' if you have not opened the other app?

For logging top-to-bottom ANT you are probably best filtering on the base package:
app:com.dsi.ant      

Hello

I have made extra tests :
- desinstallation of all applications that could use ANT on my SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 Android 4.1.2 : same problem
- installation on a SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 10.1 Android 4.0.2 : same problem

To have to launch the acquire chanel before is OK for test but not realistic for an app development : have you an idea of the reason ?
