NFC Symbian3

[tutty1]

Hello, anyone has or know the source of NFC for Symbian3??

And, anyone could tell me the instructions to make an application to Symbian3??
Thanks.

If you're developing in Qt, there is the Qt Mobility project, which contains the "Connectivity API":
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility-1...ivity-api.html

It is still considered a technology preview at the moment, so not everything is implemented yet.

But I think also Java (JSR-257) will be supported, once the first Symbian^3 NFC Phone (i.e. the Firmware Update for C7-00) will be out.

Hello, anyone know when will be available the update to use NFC in C7. I have a C7 and I can not use NFC because I need PR2 in my software. I had written and phoned to Nokia. But they only answer that cant help me, and I dont know why.

Thanks.

From where did you get the C7 devices?
In forum nokia project page there are new SDK and pluings for NFC but if you want to access it you need to be project member, probably if you contact forum nokia that may be useful.

Hi Mahbub,

Thanks for your attention. We buy ours C7 in Spain. We visited ours Nokia care shop and they never listen nothing about NFC and C7, and they do not have the update for ours C7, and they dont know nothing about PR2 that contain the functionality to use NFC in C7. We can not activate NFC because in connectivity dont appear.

What can I do?, Write some emails ? We download SDKs and Qt, but the update that we need are from ours mobile phones.

Thanks.
Pilar.

It looks you have to wait a bit more. I think NFC is not officilly annouced yet.

Hi everyone.

Anyone was able to develop programs using NFC for C7?

The C7 "Astound" (RM-691, with Firmware 020.037) is now available at Remote Device Access.

I tried uploading an Application using JSR-257 ISO14443Connection, and it initializes without Errors
(i.e. TargetListener for ISO14443 was set properly, though you can't test with real tags on RDA of course...)

I wonder if Mifare Classic Tags are also supported yet, and if there is already a way of using the QtMobility 1.2 NFC capabilities (there still seem to be no Symbian binaries for 1.2 yet).

[marujo]

The problem is that I don't find the supposed API classes at javax.microedition.contactless. Don't they came with the Symbian^3 SDK by default? Are they installed as a plugin?

Best regards,

I used the 6212 NFC SDK to compile my application, but I see it is discontinued, and really difficult to find (probably no longer included in the search index...)
But you can still download it though
http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.n...2_NFC_SDK.html

I guess there will be a "real" up-to-date NFC SDK soon though, for both Java and Qt, so you're not limited to the S40 3rd Edition Java functionality...

[marujo]

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

Hi,
I think we have to wait till it is published publicly.
I think JSR 257 is supported in S40 NFC sdk where we can test develop/test our midlet.
I checked the of Qt mobility 1.2 and it is not there.

[marujo]

Is it possible to use the 6212 NFC SDK with the Symbian^3 SDK?

Best regards,
Nuno Marujo

[mahbub_s60]

Of course not. One is for S40 and another is for S60 (Symbian).
What I meant is that you can use S40 NFC SDK to create Midlet (for JSR 257)

[marujo]

So....there is no way to use NFC with Symbian^3....at least yet right?

Best regards,
Nuno Marujo
