AltBeacon setLayout for BlueBar Beacons

Question

I would like to user AltBeacon lib, but the blueBar beacons arn't recognized has AltBeacon, below the logcat output :

01-08 11:28:11.577    8876-12231/com.pdavid.android.widget.bulb D/BluetoothLeScanner﹕ onScanResult() - ScanResult{mDevice=00:07:80:79:18:6C, mScanRecord=ScanRecord [mAdvertiseFlags=6, mServiceUuids=null, mManufacturerSpecificData={76=[2, 21, 61, -99, 76, 102, -5, 15, 17, -29, -85, 100, -56, 42, 20, 51, 20, -42, -128, 121, 24, 108, -74]}, mServiceData={}, mTxPowerLevel=-2147483648, mDeviceName=BlueBar Beacon 883314E57808], mRssi=-61, mTimestampNanos=521250993399662}

I searched for the advertising packet scheme for blueBar beacons, but no luck.

ScanResult{mDevice=00:07:80:79:18:6C, mScanRecord=ScanRecord [mAdvertiseFlags=6, mServiceUuids=null, mManufacturerSpecificData={76=[2, 21, 61, -99, 76, 102, -5, 15, 17, -29, -85, 100, -56, 42, 20, 51, 20, -42, -128, 121, 24, 108, -74]}, mServiceData={}, mTxPowerLevel=-2147483648, mDeviceName=BlueBar Beacon 883314E57808], mRssi=-61, mTimestampNanos=521250993399662}

    beaconManager.getBeaconParsers().add(new BeaconParser().
            setBeaconLayout("???????????????????????????????????"));

Thanks

Edit :

I added the following code in my Application subclass:

    beaconManager.getBeaconParsers()
        .add(new BeaconParser()
             .setBeaconLayout("m:2-3=0215,i:4-19,i:20-21,i:22-23,p:24-24,d:25-25"));

    String blueBarUuid = "A0B13730-3A9A-11E3-AA6E-0800200C9A66";
    // wake up the app when a beacon is seen
    Region region = new Region("backgroundRegion",
                               Identifier.parse(blueBarUuid), null, null);
    regionBootstrap = new RegionBootstrap(this, region);
    BeaconManager.debug = true;

Seams to work now. Without that I get " This is not a matching Beacon advertisement. "

more output :

According to the documentation, BlueBar beacons use the same layout as iBeacon:

Key features of the BlueBar Beacon are as follows: - Fully iBeacon technology compatible – tested and works with the iPhone (4S and later) as well as the iPad

So the answer is essentially a duplicate of: Is this the correct layout to detect iBeacons with AltBeacon's Android Beacon Library?
