Android Question NFC Reading Credit Card for Card Number and Expiry

[Kevin Hartin]

I have got a simple app based on the NFCAdvanced example and it is reading the card and delivering information such as the rawId, etc.

Is there a reference or example as to how you get the card details?

Thanks, Kev

The NFCAdvanced example provided with B4A shows how to read the raw ID (rawId) of an NFC card, but it cannot automatically extract additional "details"... because this depends entirely on the type of card and the protocol it uses.

There is no generic "get card details" function.
You must use the specific NFC technology that is detected.

Please test reading your NFC credit card.....

Please test scanning of your NFC enabled credit card using the APK in the download link below. Please ensure that you have enabled NFC on your cell/device before you do a scan - the project will not at this time check if you have NFC enabled on your device. There is no internet connection...

Check with @Zeev Goldstein he used it and is a master of it.

TapCard - scan your NFC enabled Bank Card with your NFC enable device (EMV)

A wrap for this Github project. Scan your NFC enabled Bank Card with your NFC enable device. Enable NFC on your Nfc enable device before trying to scan a card. I have not added any code to check if you have NFC enabled or not. Browse the forum to figure out how you can do it programmatically...
