ANT Forum

Short answer: No, it is not available.

AntInterface and similar was the API which would allow a single app full access to the ANT radio. The new ANT APIs give you most of the same functionality but you can use a channel at the same time as another app is using one. You want the documentation you can find under the "API Documentation" section: http://www.thisisant.com/developer/resources/api-documentation/

     

There is not directly an equivalent, as that would allow you to send any ANT message, possibly impacting other channels.

Firstly, if you are communicating with an ANT+ device, you want the ANT+ API (the ANT API does not let you use the ANT+ network).

For the ANT API, the "Creating ANT Android Apps" document in the SDK is a good starting point. It explains how you get an AntChannel object to interact with, which provides methods for each of the supported ANT messages.      

Correct. You must use the search implementations provided by the ANT+ API. You can use the multi-device search to discover devices, but you can only receive data from devices you are tracking.
