Read /Write NFC Tag With Android.
NFC App Tutorial
NFC :- NFC is the Near field communication, NFC short range
wireless technology. NFC allows you to share small payload of Data between an NFC
tag and an Android device.
The spectrum range from simple sticker and key ring to
complex cards with integrated cryptographic hardware. Tag also differ in their
chip technology.
NFC Access in the Android Manifest.
To get access to the NFC hardware, you have to apply for
permission in the manifest. The element
so that your application shows up in google paly only for devices that have NFC
Hardware.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.NFC"
/>
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.nfc" android:required="true" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.nfc" android:required="true" />
Filtering for NFC Intents :- Used only three filter for
tag.
1.ACTION_NDEF_DISCOVERED
2.ACTION_TAG_DISCOVERED
3ACTION_TECH_DISCOVERED
ACTION_NDEF_DISCOVERED
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.nfc.action.NDEF_DISCOVERED" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:mimeType="text/plain" />
</intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.nfc.action.NDEF_DISCOVERED" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:mimeType="text/plain" />
</intent-filter>
ACTITON_TECH_DISCOVERED
Create nfc_tech_filter .xml inside res folder…
xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources xmlns:xliff="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2">
<tech-list>
<tech>android.nfc.tech.Ndef</tech>
</tech-list>
</resources>
<resources xmlns:xliff="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2">
<tech-list>
<tech>android.nfc.tech.Ndef</tech>
</tech-list>
</resources>
ACTION_TAG_DISCOVERED
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.nfc.action.TAG_DISCOVERED" />
</intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.nfc.action.TAG_DISCOVERED" />
</intent-filter>
EXPLAIN HOW TO USED ALL THOSE REQUIRED PERMISSIONS AND
FUCTION.
1. First you have to Enable you NFC Option in android device.
2. Create new android project in android studio.
3. Add some required permission in manifest.
Manifest.xml
xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.project.example.nfcreader">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.NFC" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.nfc" android:required="true" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.nfc.action.NDEF_DISCOVERED" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:mimeType="text/plain" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data
android:name="android.nfc.action.TECH_DISCOVERED"
android:resource="@xml/nfc_tech_filter" />
</activity>
<activity android:name=".SecondActivity"></activity>
</application>
</manifest>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.project.example.nfcreader">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.NFC" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.nfc" android:required="true" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.nfc.action.NDEF_DISCOVERED" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:mimeType="text/plain" />

<meta-data
android:name="android.nfc.action.TECH_DISCOVERED"
android:resource="@xml/nfc_tech_filter" />
</activity>
<activity android:name=".SecondActivity"></activity>
</application>
</manifest>
4 Create nfc _tech_filter.xml inside res/xml directory.
xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources xmlns:xliff="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2">
<tech-list>
<tech>android.nfc.tech.Ndef</tech>
</tech-list>
</resources>
<resources xmlns:xliff="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2">
<tech-list>
<tech>android.nfc.tech.Ndef</tech>
</tech-list>
</resources>
5 Create activity_main.xml layout inside layout folder.
xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="20sp"
android:visibility="gone">
<EditText
android:id="@+id/edit_message"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:hint="message" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Write" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/nfc_contents"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="20sp"
android:visibility="gone">
<EditText
android:id="@+id/edit_message"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:hint="message" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Write" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/nfc_contents"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
