I am new to Android NFC and developing NFC application in android. My idea is Device A need to send a plain text to Device B. Is it possible in Android NFC? I just tried with Tag Dispatcher (enableForegroundDispatch , disableForegroundDispatch) on both Reader and Writer. My Reader side code is :
nfcAdapter.enableForegroundDispatch(this, pendingIntent, intentFilters, techList)
override fun onNewIntent(intent: Intent?) {
intent.getParcelableArrayExtra(NfcAdapter.EXTRA_NDEF_MESSAGES)?.also { rawMessages ->
val messages: List<NdefMessage> = rawMessages.map { it as NdefMessage }
for (message in messages) {
for (record in message.records) {
println(" ${record.toString()}")
}
}
}
}
My Writer side code is:
nfcAdapter.enableForegroundDispatch(
this, pendingIntent, intentFilters, techList)
override fun onNewIntent(intent: Intent?) {
if (action.equals(NfcAdapter.EXTRA_TAG)) {
val tagFromIntent = intent.getParcelableExtra<Tag>(NfcAdapter.EXTRA_TAG)
if (NfcAdapter.ACTION_TECH_DISCOVERED.equals(action)
|| NfcAdapter.ACTION_NDEF_DISCOVERED.equals(action)
) {
println("testing=============== tag discovered ")
writeNdefMessage(tagFromIntent!!, "This is my first app")
}
}}
private fun writeNdefMessage(tag: Tag, message: String) {
val record: NdefRecord = newTextRecord(message, Locale.ENGLISH, true)!!
val ndefMessage = NdefMessage(arrayOf(record))
try {
if (isExist(tag.techList, NdefFormatable::class.java.name)) {
val ndefFormatable = NdefFormatable.get(tag)
try {
if (!ndefFormatable.isConnected) {
ndefFormatable.connect()
}
ndefFormatable.format(ndefMessage)
} finally {
ndefFormatable.close()
}
} else if (isExist(tag.techList, Ndef::class.java.name)) {
val ndef = Ndef.get(tag)
try {
if (!ndef.isConnected) {
ndef.connect()
}
if (ndef.isWritable) {
ndef.writeNdefMessage(ndefMessage)
}
} finally {
ndef.close()
}
}
} catch (e: FormatException) {
println("Format failed exception")
} catch (e: IOException) {
println("")
}
}
Application is launched when I scan the Tag (via AndroidManifest.xml details). But I am not able to send plain text via NFC. I don't know what I did wrong. I don't know whether the approach is right or wrong. Please help me to proceed this.
Thanks in advance.
