Hello I'm using RxAndroidBLE to detect a BLE device. On android 6 >= everything seems to work okay but not on a 4.3 device.
My app can only discover the desirable BLE device only once at start. After the device has been discovered no more new discoveries at all until I restart the app. Any advice would be highly appreciated.
Below minimum (not)working code example:
MainActivity
import android.content.Context
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity
import android.os.Bundle
import android.os.Handler
import android.util.Log

}

rxBleClient = MyaPP.getRxBleClient(context)
if (isScanning()) {
scanSubscription?.unsubscribe()
} else {
scanSubscription = rxBleClient?.scanBleDevices(
com.polidea.rxandroidble.scan.ScanSettings.Builder()
.setScanMode(ScanSettings.SCAN_MODE_LOW_LATENCY)
.setCallbackType(ScanSettings.CALLBACK_TYPE_ALL_MATCHES)
.build())
?.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
//?.doOnNext(this::newDevicesFound)
?.doOnUnsubscribe(this::clearSubscription)
?.subscribe(this::newDevicesFound, this::onScanFailure)
}
if(handler == null) {

if (delay > 7) {
delay = 0

service.submit(Runnable {

})
} else {

}
}
}
