| com.google.android.gms.nearby.messages.Messages |
API which allows your app to publish simple messages and subscribe to receive those messages from nearby devices.
The API performs its operations in an unauthenticated manner, so it does not require a Google account. However, it requires that the developer has a project in the Google Developers Console with the following prerequisites:
<manifest ...>
<application ...>
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.nearby.messages.API_KEY"
android:value="SPECIFY_APPLICATION_API_KEY_HERE" />
<activity>
...
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
The Messages API should be accessed from the Nearby entry point. For example:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(context)
.addApi(Nearby.MESSAGES_API)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.build();
}
@Override
protected void onStart() {
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
@Override
public void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) {
PendingResult<Status> pendingResult = Nearby.Messages.publish(mGoogleApiClient,
new Message(bytes));
}
All of the Messages APIs should be used from a foreground Activity, with the exception of the
variants of subscribe that take a PendingIntent parameter. Your Activity should
publish(GoogleApiClient, Message) or subscribe(GoogleApiClient, MessageListener) either in
onStart() or in response to a user action in a visible Activity, and
you should always symmetrically unpublish(GoogleApiClient, Message) or
unsubscribe(GoogleApiClient, MessageListener) in onStop().

Checks if the user has granted this app permission to publish and subscribe. In particular, the status returned can be
APP_NOT_OPTED_IN - If the app asked for permission
and was denied by user.
SUCCESS - If the app has permission to publish and subscribe.

PendingResult which can be used to determine if the app has all the
required permissions to publish/subscribe.Extracts information from an Intent sent as a subscription callback, and calls the corresponding methods on the given MessageListener.
Note: Only onFound(Message) and
onLost(Message) are supported.
For example:
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(context, 0,
new Intent(context, MyService.class), PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Nearby.Messages.subscribe(googleApiClient, pendingIntent, ...);
public class MyService extends IntentService {
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
Nearby.Messages.handleIntent(intent, new MessageListener() {
@Override
public void onFound(Message message) {...}
}
});
}

The message is only delivered to apps that share the same project id in the Developer Console and have an active subscription. Create project identifiers and turn on the Nearby API in the Google Developers Console.
Allowed Contexts GoogleApiClient can be bound to:

Registers a status callback, which will be notified when significant events occur that affect Nearby for your app.
When your app first calls this API, it may be immediately called back with current status.

Subscribes for published messages from nearby devices in a persistent and low-power manner. This uses less battery, but will have higher latency and lower reliability. Notably, updates may only be delivered when the device's screen turns on (or when Bluetooth turns on). The subscription will be retained after the client disconnects.
Call handleIntent(Intent, MessageListener) to handle the Intents received from
Nearby while subscribed. Call unsubscribe(GoogleApiClient, PendingIntent) to
cancel the subscription.
Each application can pass up to 5 PendingIntents. When the limit is reached, this
returns TOO_MANY_PENDING_INTENTS, and the subscription
is not created.
