Java Development

[Rudrani]

I am starting with NFC development. working on 7.0 API and i am using 9930 simulator. 

Below is the first code  for NFC I had tested 

package mypackage;
import net.rim.device.api.system.capability.DeviceCapability;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.*;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.component.LabelField;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.container.*;


public class NFCDemo extends UiApplication
{

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        new NFCDemo().enterEventDispatcher();
    }

    public NFCDemo()
    {
        pushScreen(new NFCPropertiesScreen());
    }

    private class NFCPropertiesScreen extends MainScreen
    {
        public NFCPropertiesScreen()
        {
            setTitle("NFC Capability Reporter");
            LabelField lbl[] = new LabelField[2];
            lbl[0] = new LabelField();
            lbl[1] = new LabelField();
            if(DeviceCapability.isNFCSupported())
            {
                lbl[0].setText("supported true");
            } else
            {
                lbl[0].setText("supported false");
            }
            if(DeviceCapability.isNFCAvailable())
            {
                lbl[1].setText("available true");
            } else
            {
                lbl[1].setText("available false");
            }
            add(lbl[0]);
            add(lbl[1]);
        }
    }
}

And the output I am getting is :

supported true

available false

I also tried to change the NFC settings in phobe from "Off" to 'On" but it again changes to Off again . Can anyone suggest how to get this working . And how should i start the NFC development for blackberry . What resources should i start with ?

Do i require signing keys or NFC controller URI .  dont even know what exactly are thses but have come across these terms .

Thanks in advance

Any help is highly appreciated .

Hi Rudrani,

Welcome to the support forums,

Just type "NFC" in search box you will get a lot of discussion and information about that.

Hi Pradeep

Thanks for your reply ad sharing the links . But actually i have already gone throug them but did not find the solution

Can you please have a look at my code and its output. It shows

supported true

available false

Can you please suggest what should i do to resolve it ? What are the steps to follow to configure NFC support in simulator and how to simulate it .

Thanks in advance

This is the link for testing NFC in the BlackBerry Simulator using the tools from the Open NFC package: https://developer.blackberry.com/java/documentation/testing_nfc_applications_1627604_11.html

However, having tried that route myself before acquiring an NFC capable device, I would advise that that is a painful process. You will have far more success and greater progress if you test and debug your NFC applications on a BlackBerry with NFC capabilities
