Running on an Android smartphone #15

Open denisghior opened 2 years ago

denisghior commented 2 years ago

Hello, the README.md file suggests this program should run just fine on an NFC enabled device (e.g., smartphone) however it after running using any of the commands sudo ./nfc-frog full, sudo ./nfc-frogfast or sudo ./nfc-frogGPO the device is undetected: 'Unable to open NFC device'.

How can I go about running it on my Android device? Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

PS: I've installed all the necessary drivers and libnfc.

Also for Android it might be easier to use Java/Kotlin solutions like this or this
