I have a 16 length string that I would like to broadcast as the identifier, which the app uses to do certain actions.
Relatively new to the different beacon layouts, so would love to get the right opinion. I was thinking of doing it the following ways
hex encode the string and use it as identifier in eddystone url layout
But the 16 length takes up 32 bytes and doesn't help
Another option is to use altbeacon library like below.
byte[] dataBytes = new String("16 length string").getBytes()
Identifier identifier = Identifier.fromBytes(dataBytes, 0, dataBytes.length, false);
I am not sure either works mainly because of the 16 length string. Is there a better way to achieve or do it at all in first place?
