is this code correct ?

**honest_success** · 2009-06-20, 05:51

Hello,

I have written the following code. But when i touch external card to my Nokia 6212C there is no invokation of targetDetected(). Can some one check my code and tel me what is wrong in it ?

I tried your code on my 6212, it detects my ndef tag.

BTW, dont expect it to automatically launch the midlet on bringing the tag near

the phone. You will first have to start the midlet then take the tag near the phone.

It seems strange to me. Can you tell me how can i write data in tag ? and how can i do sector vise operation in J2ME ?

**praghuna** · 2009-06-22, 19:17

You need to be familiar with the mifare tag storage . Also you need to know the keys of the sectors to access them.

The following midlet code is a sample for writing into block-0 of sector-1.

Thanks for your reply and code. But my application requirement is that i need to read the data which is being written by other c#.net application. So can you give me any example or guide me to read that data. I wrote the code and i was able to read data which was shared with mobile but it does not seems working to read the data which is written by other application on card. So please let me know or give me any other example.

**esunilkumare** · 2009-06-23, 06:44

But my application requirement is that i need to read the data which is being written by other c#.net application.

Most probably the C# application used to create that tags (mifare1k with data) will be using any other keys than default ones (6 FF's). So, you should know that new key values prior to read the data from tag.

So can you give me any example or guide me to read that data.

You got a working code and now also asking for others to complete your task ?

I did not mean it i tried that code but it is giving me target not found exception so i asked. I do not know what could be wrong in it.

**esunilkumare** · 2009-06-23, 06:54

do you have access to the C# code which is used to create the tag that you are trying to read ? going thru the code will be helpful to find the logic and keys. in-order to read data from a third-party card, it is necessary to know the keys used write that data. without knowing keys, it will be very difficult to get the data.

My team mate has made that code so that is not issue and he told me he has used keys FFFFFF but when i tried to use the below code it is giving me excetion in targetDetected() that Connection error : target not found so can you tell me what could be wrong in it. The following code i have used.

your card is being detected by the phone since you are getting an exception in the targetDetected method. so problem will be in the connection url.

are you sure that you are using a mifare 4k external tag (you are using a connection string like this "nfc:rf;type=mf4k;uid=" ). if you are using a mifare 1k tag, use this connection string "nfc:ndef;type=mf1k;uid=". or please try to use the connection string you got from

Code:

TargetProperties target = prop[0];
String url = target.getUrl();
NDEFTagConnection conn = (NDEFTagConnection)Connector.open(url);

or try to use the following code to find out the type of tag you have:

Have you tried the TargetDetector example ?

which is your tag-type ? mifare 1k or 4k ?

try "nfc:rf;type=mf1k;uid=" instead of "nfc:ndef;type=mf1k;uid="

regards
Sunil

Ya i tried TargetDetector it gave me following result. Type :1.2 type :mf1k

I am so thankful to you for your continuous support. After puting "nfc:rf;type=mf1k;uid=" it is not giving any exception but yet nothing comes in String parameter which should contains data. It did not display any thing so it seems it should be blank.

Please take a look at code if there is some thing wrong in reading particualr sector or conversition to String . This should be the last issue.

**esunilkumare** · 2009-06-24, 06:08

Hi Kirti,

Your code worked for me with some minor changes. Changes are :

1. Change the TargetType from NDEF_TAG to RFID_TAG in addTargetListener method. (while adding listeners to DiscoveryManager)
2. Change the way you getting connection URL to String url = "nfc:rf;type=mf1k;uid=" + prop[0].getUid(); (in targetDetected method)

Thats all. It will work now

(and of-course let me know the result)

Sunil
