🐛 Module does not work with Android Auto, when there is no Activity

[SamuelBrucksch]

Prerequisites

• I checked the documentation and FAQ without finding a solution
• I checked to make sure that this issue has not already been filed

Expected Behavior

It should work the same way as when using it for normal app development.

Current Behavior

When using it in combination with AA, there is no Activity. The activity seems to be required though, when creating a BleManager. Please see code snippet below on how to get it to work.

Library version

3.2.1

Device

Google Pixel 6

Environment info

---

Steps to reproduce

Run an Android Auto app with no app on the phone.

Formatted code sample or link to a repository

In file react-native-ble-plx/android/src/main/java/com/bleplx/BlePlxModule.java change

  public void createClient(String restoreStateIdentifier) {
    final Activity activity = getCurrentActivity();
    if (activity == null) {
      return;
    }

    bleAdapter = BleAdapterFactory.getNewAdapter(activity);

to

  public void createClient(String restoreStateIdentifier) {
    final Context applicationContext = getReactApplicationContext().getApplicationContext();
    if (applicationContext == null) {
      return;
    }

    bleAdapter = BleAdapterFactory.getNewAdapter(applicationContext);

Then it works again, however i don't know if this has any other side effects.
