I've been working on Android (v2.3) for a couple of weeks now, and I've stumbled upon some problems with the Unimag Card Swiper from IDTECH.
The unit comes with a scarce documentation and the demo app from the SDK implements the firmware update and a few classes for dialogs and such which really offuscate how to achieve basic functionality (added to the few and not so good comments in the code).
I have implemented the interface in a basic activity and tried to detect when the unit is connected or disconnected but it seems the listener catches both events (connection/disconnection) as "disconnect", let alone trying to read a card.
Has anyone worked with this unit on Android and has some clear examples?
By the way, here is my class:
package com.card.swipe;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;
import IDTech.MSR.uniMag.uniMagReader;
import IDTech.MSR.uniMag.uniMagReaderMsg;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class CardSwipeTestActivity extends Activity implements uniMagReaderMsg {
private uniMagReader myUniMagReader = null;
private TextView etCardData;
private String _strMSRData = null;
private byte[]_MSRData = null;
private String _strStatus = null;
private int _nGetChallengeResult = 0;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
// InitializeUI();
InitializeReader();
String strManufacture = myUniMagReader.getInfoManufacture();
String strModel = myUniMagReader.getInfoModel();
String strSDKVerInfo = myUniMagReader.getSDKVersionInfo();
String strOSVerInfo = android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE;
etCardData =
