Near Field Communication

Let me qualify it.

Corona SDK does not support NFC.  We have no built in API’s for it.  There is not an existing plugin for SDK users that I’m aware of. 

Enterprise will probably work because I suspect that there is a drop-in native library for this and any lower level functionality could be done on the Native side.  Enterprise will allow you to return strings and such back to your Lua  code.

Thanks Rob for the clarification. So there is no plans to do api for this purpose . I think I saw some voting for this feature.

I don’t want this to come off as a “never” issue, but for right now, this is a feature that benefits a smaller portion of our customer base.   There is now a 3rd party plugin market place where you could get someone to build a plugin for you.

Rob,

Do you mean i should i request for this plugin to be built or you have some specific plugin you advice me to look at ?

Thanks

You would need to request the plugin be built, which I see you did in Gremlin’s plugin post.

Probably.   Also it depends on how much work you expect to be done on the Java side vs. the Lua side.  For instance, for a bar code scanner, you can try to pass the raw data back to Lua and do calculations on it, or you can just send back the data (product ID for a bar code, URL for a QR code, etc.)

In this case if you’re plugin is telling NFC to return more simple data as the result of the NFC transaction it might be better than sending a 32 bit integer of mask bits back to Lua.
