Android: NFC: AAR and data: Starting an application with extra data

I'm looking into some NFC functionality,

I would like to embed two ndef messages inside my tag.

  1. An Android Application Record
  2. Plain text data

I would like to create the following scenario:

  1. Tap a tag
  2. Start my application based on the Android Application Record embedded inside the tag
  3. In my activity retrieve more information from the tag (from NFC, or the intent system, etc.?)

I was wondering if it is possible?

Solution

  • I have created an NFC Eclipse plugin exactly for this scenario. You will also find an Android boilerplate project in the downloads section for the same project.

    You might want to check out NDEF Tools for Android, and do a search on the app store for read and write apps.
