Hi all
Having done some research it looks like LiveCode can't access NFC on Android devices - pity
If I'm wrong and someone has developed a way to do this, please tell us about it!
Kind regards
Dave

Hi Dave,
It can be emulated with GPS and a server.
Kind regards,

Hi Mark
If you mean the kind of thing I think you mean - then that won't work for the scenario I have in mind where an Android device could 'read' an RFID tag via NFC by waving the device over the tag within a range of 50mm - it's the local communication between the tag and the device I'm interested in...
Kind regards
Dave

Hi Dave,
Right, that won't work. I was thinking about two devices, not a tag and a device.
Kind regards,
Mark

Oh well thanks for confirming what I though - guess I'll make an entry for it in 'feature requests'
