The demo code is not released for this app as some people were taking the source, rebreanding it and putting it on the play store. We hope for a higher quality app experience than that from developers and don't need a bunch of clones all over the play store.
Once I realised I had BLE capable sensors, the need for ANT+ became less important and it's now only there for intellectual curiosity. It's a shame, but as you commented coming here and finding only community support (and not very active community support at that) doesn't fill me with confidence that there is a future in the product and I'd rather be riding my bike than faffing about with Java.You missed my point. There are consumer products using these libraries. They have not simply copy-pasted example code. Meanwhile, there are apps of every kind on the Play Store where someone has simply copy-pasted example code so I don't see your point about mentioning that this occurs.
Add the libraries to your app, consult the samples, refer to the API docs (included in the download or https://www.thisisant.com/developer/resources/api-documentation/wordle), and ask questions here if needed. I have wanted the SDKs to updated and redesigned to be nicer to use for years, but this is what we have and they have been made to work.
If your question should be "is the ANT+ for Android SDK actively being maintained?", then your post already answers that. It is also clear that if you want to talk to ANT+/BLE combo sensors from a phone, you would use BLE as that is the predominant protocol on mobile (and the only option on the majority of devices). If there is a reason you want ANT+ from Android, then the available libraries are your only option and what everyone doing that is using.
You're mostly dependent on community support here so it may not be fast (and you're not currently doing yourself any favours to encourage someone to give up their time), but good luck.

Thank you so much for the information. You saved me. I am a student, and sometimes I get very frustrated when I try to write my coursework, but then I found this website. They are a writing service provider. I have used their https://ukwritings.com/do-my-coursework services, and I love their work. The best thing is that they are very affordable, too. If you also need help with your writing, then you can visit them.
