Flutter NFC Reader

A new flutter plugin to help developers looking to use internal hardware inside Android devices (For now, iOS coming soon) for reading NFC tags.

It starts a reading session that keeps scanning tags until it is manually turned off. You can trigger the stop event manually using a dedicated function.

Supported NFC Format

Platform	Supported Tags/Cards
Android	NDEF:,A, B, F, V, BARCODE, MIFARE
iOS (Coming Soon)	NDEF: NFC TYPE 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Installation

Add to pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  nfc_io:
    git:
      url: [e-mail]:agent306/nfc_io.git
      ref: master

and then run the shell command

flutter packages get

import the plugin to your project:

import 'package:nfc_io/nfc_io.dart';

How to use

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.NFC" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.nfc"/>

iOS setup

Coming soon...

Read NFC

This function will return a stream, the read session will be kept open until otherwise closed. The stream will return a NfcData model whenever an NFC tag/card is detected. This model contains:

Field	Description
id	Id of the tag
content	Content of the tag (Blank if not an NDEF)
error	If any error occurs, null otherwise
status	Either none, reading, read, stopped or error

Future<void> startNFC() async {
    StreamSubscription _subscription = NfcIo.startReading.listen((NfcData data) {
        print(data);
    });
}

Stop NFC

Future<void> stopNFC() async {
    if (_subscription != null) {
        _subscription.cancel();
        NfcData result = await NfcIo.stopReading;
        print(result);
    }
}
