To do that, you could potentially use Eddystone: http://www.espruino.com/Puck.js+Eddystone

Or if not, you would need to make an app for your phone. If you haven't done anything like that before then you could look at DroidScript - it might be a good way to get started

Hi Gordon,

I have gone through the links.

1. Regarding espruino.com/Puck.js+Eddyston­e it seems that we need to
   install another app to achieve this and I don't want to install new app.
2. DroidScript seems good option but I don’t know how to send data on
   Puck button click and receive that data at app side. Any link or
   guide for achieving this.

Thanks

You don't need an app to get eddystone working - any Android device from the last few years with Chrome on it should work (it's possible you have to change one setting in Android, but i'm not sure)

There is a free plugin for DroidScript and Puck.js

If we can print from Puck button on espruino ide screen then definitely there will be some way to print on android app screen

Just use this code on DroidScript (make sure you install the Puck.js plugin on DroidScript first)

app.LoadPlugin( "PuckJS" );

function OnStart()
{
  lay = app.CreateLayout( "Linear", "VCenter,FillXY" );
  txt = app.CreateText( "Press your puck" );
  lay.AddChild( txt );
  app.AddLayout( lay );
  puck = app.CreatePuckJS();
  puck.SetOnConnect( OnConnect );
  puck.SetOnButton( OnButton );
  puck.Scan( "Puck" );
}
function OnConnect()
{
  puck.WatchButton( true );
}
function OnButton( state )
{
  txt.SetText( "Hello World" );
}
