How to receive data from NFC devices #305

Closed AdrianMrn closed 6 years ago

AdrianMrn commented 6 years ago

I'm trying to use one device to share a message to another device over p2p.

In the description of the repo, it says I can use this plugin to "receive data from NFC devices".

What function do I call to do this? I went through all the available functions and could only find the function nfc.share, which sends a message over p2p, but doesn't seem to receive one.

Seems like you have to use (as in the documentation) var message = [ ndef.textRecord("hello, world") ];

nfc.share(message, [onSuccess], [onFailure]);

That will appear as if you are reading a tag in the other device.

So I would say, you do nfc.share(...) then the other device once at the right distance will read that message, making your first device act like an NFC tag.

Only in: Android Windows BlackBerry 7 BlackBerry 10 Windows Phone 8

Use nfc.addNdefListener to receive messages. A NDEF message sent from a peer works like reading a NFC tag.
