Issue
I already make a write tag application that working find, I store data text to labeled thing ( example : computer 1) in NFC tag. Both write and read working fine. But I need to read the Hexadecimal ID that every tag have when I read the information text I know the have unique Hexadecimal ID (Cause I see that one when I test it with google play application there). But I don't know how to do it. I'm really bad at coding, so please help me.
Here is the code :
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
NfcAdapter mAdapter;
Tag mTag;
PendingIntent mPI;
IntentFilter mFilter[];
String userData,yo;
boolean writeMode;
Context context;
TextView tvNFCContent, Timer,Low;
Button start, pause, reset, lap ;
long MillisecondTime, StartTime, TimeBuff, UpdateTime = 0L ;
Handler handler;
int Seconds, Minutes, MilliSeconds ;
ListView listView ;
String[] ListElements = new String[] { };
List<String> ListElementsArrayList ;
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter ;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
tvNFCContent = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.data);
Timer = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.timer);
tvNFCContent.addTextChangedListener(watch);
handler = new Handler() ;
mAdapter = NfcAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(this);
mPI = PendingIntent.getActivity(getApplicationContext(), 0,
new Intent(this,getClass()).addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP),0 );
IntentFilter tagDetected = new IntentFilter(NfcAdapter.ACTION_TAG_DISCOVERED);
IntentFilter filter2 = new IntentFilter(NfcAdapter.ACTION_NDEF_DISCOVERED);
mFilter = new IntentFilter[]{tagDetected,filter2};
mAdapter = NfcAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(this);
if (mAdapter == null) {
// Stop here, we definitely need NFC
Toast.makeText(this, "This device doesn't support NFC.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
finish();
}
readFromIntent(getIntent());
}
private void readFromIntent(Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
if (NfcAdapter.ACTION_TAG_DISCOVERED.equals(action)
|| NfcAdapter.ACTION_TECH_DISCOVERED.equals(action)
|| NfcAdapter.ACTION_NDEF_DISCOVERED.equals(action))
{
Parcelable[] rawMsgs = intent.getParcelableArrayExtra(NfcAdapter.EXTRA_NDEF_MESSAGES);
NdefMessage[] msgs = null;
if (rawMsgs != null) {
msgs = new NdefMessage[rawMsgs.length];
for (int i = 0; i < rawMsgs.length; i++) {
msgs[i] = (NdefMessage) rawMsgs[i];
}
}
buildTagViews(msgs);
}
}
private void buildTagViews(NdefMessage[] msgs) {
if (msgs == null || msgs.length == 0) return;
String text = "";
// String tagId = new String(msgs[0].getRecords()[0].getType());
byte[] payload = msgs[0].getRecords()[0].getPayload();
String textEncoding = ((payload[0] & 128) == 0) ? "UTF-8" : "UTF-16"; // Get the Text Encoding
int languageCodeLength = payload[0] & 0063; // Get the Language Code, e.g. "en"
// String languageCode = new String(payload, 1, languageCodeLength, "US-ASCII");
try {
text = new String(payload, languageCodeLength + 1, payload.length - languageCodeLength - 1, textEncoding);
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
Log.e("UnsupportedEncoding", e.toString());
}
tvNFCContent.setText("NFC Content: " + text);
TimeBuff += MillisecondTime;
handler.removeCallbacks(runnable);
}
NdefMessage[] getNdefMessage(Intent intent)
{
NdefMessage[] msgs = null;
Parcelable[] rawMsgs = intent.getParcelableArrayExtra(NfcAdapter.EXTRA_NDEF_MESSAGES);
if(rawMsgs != null)
{
msgs = new NdefMessage[rawMsgs.length];
for(int i=0; i<rawMsgs.length; i++)
{
msgs[i] = (NdefMessage)rawMsgs[i];
}
}
return msgs;
}

@Override

int arg3) {

}
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int a, int b, int c) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
};
}
I'm sorry I upload the whole code, I just want to make it easy fpr anyone that would like to help me.
Solution
Add this code in onNewIntent()
Tag tag = intent.getParcelableExtra(NfcAdapter.EXTRA_TAG);
byte[] uid = tag.getId(); //This is the Unique IDentifier of the card
Use the following method to get hex value
public static String getHexValue(final byte[] buffer) {
if (buffer == null || buffer.length == 0) {
return ("0x" + "[none]");
}
final StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
sb.append("0x");
for (int i = 0; i < buffer.length - 1; i++) {
sb.append(String.format("%02X%s", buffer[i], ""));
}
sb.append(String.format("%02X", buffer[buffer.length - 1]));
return sb.toString();
}
