6131 NFC autostart on tag touch

[cde]

Hi,

i'm trying to add a push-registry entry to autostart a midlet if a simple tag (not only ndef) is touched but it doesn't work. I tried a lot:

ndef:rtd?name=urn:nfc:wkt:RFID_TAG
ndef:rtd?name=urn:nfc:wkt:T

What else can I try? Which entry works?

I also tried to autostart a midlet on secure-element events. Looks like this:

secure-element:?aid=63646530316d6672

Also doesn't work...

Maybe you can help.

Thanks

If you want your MIDlet to be launched only when a simple tag is touched, you need to add a filter to the PushRegistry entry. Here's is an example:

PushRegistry.registerConnection("ndef:rtd?name=urn:nfc:wkt:T", "TestMIDlet", "nfc:ndef;type=simpletag;uid=*");

For the secure element push, please see the following thread:

Is it possible to read the NDEFMessage from the tag that started the MIDlet?

Yes, this is possible. Please see the following thread for information on how to do this:

Please let me know if you need more details.

How to find out that MIDlet was auto started by PushRegistry tag reading. I tried the following code

String[] connections = PushRegistry.listConnections(true);

if (connections != null && connections.length > 0) {.....

But connections was null.

[mariosas]

PushRegistry.registerConnection("ndef:rtd?name=urn:nfc:wkt:T", "TestMIDlet", "nfc:ndef;type=simpletag;uid=*");

= ERROR = not correctly with jadfiles

  DiscoveryManager.getInstance().addTargetListener(this, TargetType.NDEF_TAG); // NDEF Tag's

for registry the Listener.

You can find out if the MIDlet was auto-launched by using the DiscoveryManager LaunchType property. The values for LauchType are "touch" or "manual" and you can use this for checking how the MIDlet was launched.

If the value is "touch" then the MIDlet launch was caused by a JSR-257 PushRegistry connection, e.g. by touching a tag that contained a specific NDEF record.

I hope this helps.

cde, what kind of listener are you using? NDEFRecordListener or TargetListener? did you registered your MIDlet in the DiscoveryManager?

[cde]

@gregorytaiwan: I use the gregorytaiwan and didn't register the midlet in the DiscoveryManager. Do I have to register it?

Thanks for your replies

Short comment on the documentation of the NFC's SDK. Badly!!! Perhaps someone can be looked times here into the ' maps ', what is really correct

[cde]

@Raluca: I tries many times to autolauch my midlet with a simple tag but it didn't work. I exactly used your example. Do I have to enable tag detection? If so, I always get a error "unknown service type". But the midlet never starts. What else can I try?

Thanks for your help.

RFID Option = on = no Midlet start
RFID Option = off and hand start the midlet and function = OK
Hardware RFID option is Nokias own implementation. TAG = clean = then ' unknown service type '.
As long as no Nokia coworker emerges here, it will test on and tries to arrive.

I tried a few combinations, but nothing works! Has anybody ever done this before with success?

@cde: Yes, you must to register the application with DiscoveryManager when you are using the NFC capabilities.

Inmediately you have installed the application in the mobile, the device will not launch your application in any incoming tag if you are not running your application, so you must to start it at least once, and register the application, for instance, in the startApp. Go out, and the device will launch your application on incoming tags which you have registered all the time.

In other hand, if you reinstall the application, the mobile will threat it as a new one, so the device will not launch your application until you start your application at least once.

@gregorytaiwan: here is my code (in startApp), is this correct?

//Register for push launch
try
{
String[] regConns = PushRegistry.listConnections(false);
String pushEntry = "ndef:rtd?name=urn:nfc:wkt:RFID_TAG";
String filter = "nfc:ndef;type=simpletag;uid=*";
boolean registered = false;

for (int i = 0; i < regConns.length; i++)
{
if (regConns[i].equals(pushEntry))
registered = true;
}

if (!registered)
PushRegistry.registerConnection(pushEntry, "cde.TicketMain", filter);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
}

dm = DiscoveryManager.getInstance();

try
{
dm.addTargetListener(this, TargetType.RFID_TAG);
dm.addTransactionListener(this);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
}

It doesn't work!
I want to autostart the application with "any" tag.

thanks for your help
