Read Mifare tags on mobile devices

Post by Jeronimo » Thu Mar 26, 2015 2:31 am

Hi, everyone.
I need to make a mobile device (tablet or phone) running a LiveCode app read a Mifare tag. Is there any support on that? I've been looking all over this forum and on the internet and I could not find anything.
Thank you very much.

Hi Jeronimo,

I'm afradi this is currently not possible with the build-in means of Livecode.

Hi, Klaus.
Thank you for your response.
Would you suggest any other solution? Is there any third party widget or something I could insert into my LiveCode application to read Mifare tags with at least an Android phone?
Cheers.

Hi Jeronimo,

I don't think there is a widget or external available which can do this, but I am not sure.

LiveCode v8 will provide a means of allowing us to work with OS APIs from within LiveCode. For something as specialized as a specific RFID convention, this sort of roll-your-own solution may be a very good fit.

While v8 is currently in its very early stages, it may be useful to explore it to become familiar with the options for such lower-level calls.
