HostNfcFService is a convenience Service class that can be extended to emulate an NFC-F card inside an Android service component.

NFC Protocols

Cards emulated by this class are based on the NFC-Forum NFC-F protocol (based on the JIS-X 6319-4 specification.)

System Code and NFCID2 registration

A HostNfcFService service can register exactly one System Code and one NFCID2. For details about the use of System Code and NFCID2, see the NFC Forum Digital specification.

To statically register a System Code and NFCID2 with the service, a SERVICE_META_DATA entry must be included in the declaration of the service.

All HostNfcFService declarations in the manifest must require the BIND_NFC_SERVICE.BIND_NFC_SERVICE permission in their <service> tag, to ensure that only the platform can bind to your service.

An example of a HostNfcFService manifest declaration is shown below:

 <service android:name=".MyHostNfcFService" android:exported="true" android:permission="android.permission.BIND_NFC_SERVICE">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.nfc.cardemulation.action.HOST_NFCF_SERVICE"/>
    </intent-filter>
    <meta-data android:name="android.nfc.cardemulation.host_nfcf_service" android:resource="@xml/nfcfservice"/>
</service>
This meta-data tag points to an nfcfservice.xml file. An example of this file with a System Code and NFCID2 declaration is shown below:
<host-nfcf-service xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          android:description="@string/servicedesc">
      <system-code-filter android:name="4000"/>
      <nfcid2-filter android:name="02FE000000000000"/>
<t3tPmm-filter android:name="FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF"/>
</host-nfcf-service>

The <host-nfcf-service> is required to contain a <android:description> attribute that contains a user-friendly description of the service that may be shown in UI.

The <host-nfcf-service> must contain:

  • Exactly one <system-code-filter> tag.
  • Exactly one <nfcid2-filter> tag.
  • Zero or one <t3tPmm-filter> tag.

Alternatively, the System Code and NFCID2 can be dynamically registererd for a service by using the NfcFCardEmulation.registerSystemCodeForService(ComponentName, String) and NfcFCardEmulation.setNfcid2ForService(ComponentName, String) methods.

Service selection

When a remote NFC devices wants to communicate with your service, it sends a SENSF_REQ command to the NFC controller, requesting a System Code. If a NfcFCardEmulation service has registered this system code and has been enabled by the foreground application, the NFC controller will respond with the NFCID2 that is registered for this service. The reader can then continue data exchange with this service by using the NFCID2.

Data exchange

After service selection, all frames addressed to the NFCID2 of this service will be sent through processNfcFPacket(byte[], Bundle), until the NFC link is broken.

When the NFC link is broken, onDeactivated(int) will be called.

Sends a response packet back to the remote device.

Note: this method may be called from any thread and will not block.

Params:
  • responsePacket – A byte-array containing the response packet.

This method will be called when a NFC-F packet has been received from a remote device. A response packet can be provided directly by returning a byte-array in this method. Note that in general response packets must be sent as quickly as possible, given the fact that the user is likely holding his device over an NFC reader when this method is called.

This method is running on the main thread of your application. If you cannot return a response packet immediately, return null and use the sendResponsePacket(byte[]) method later.

Params:
  • commandPacket – The NFC-F packet that was received from the remote device
  • extras – A bundle containing extra data. May be null.
Returns:a byte-array containing the response packet, or null if no response packet can be sent at this point.
