I've been trying to create an app that can read two different types of NFC-tags. One is supposed to be HCE-IsoDep, emulated on a Nexus 5, and one is a Ndef-tag. I have encountered a slight problem however:
I manage to read both types of tags, but not the way I want to do it. The Ndef tag is no problem at all. It is when I try to read the HCE tag that I encounter my problem. I can only read the tag when the phone is on, which I emulate the tag on is locked (screen on, but lock is on). Whenever I unlock the screen it won't interact anymore, and as far as I can understand it tries to beam instead.
If I try to do it without the onNewIntent and just go straight to a onTagDiscovered, it works both while the HCE-device is locked and unlocked, but then I can't read the Ndef-tag.
In logcat I receive the message: NfcService LLCP Activation Message when I read the HCE-tag when unlocked.
When locked I receive the message: NativeNfcTag Connect to a tag with a different handle (and prior to that I get: audio_hw_primary select_devices: out_snd_device(2: speaker) in_snd_device(0: ))
My code looks as follows:
Main:
public class NfcReader extends Activity implements OnMessageReceived {
private static String TAG = NfcReader.class.getSimpleName();
private Button sendButton;
private ProgressBar callProgress;
private NfcAdapter nfcAdapter;
private PendingIntent pIntent;
private IntentFilter[] writeTagFilters;
private String[][] mTechLists;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
TextView dateView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.dateTextView);
nfcAdapter = NfcAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(this);
pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, new Intent(this, getClass()).addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP), 0);
IntentFilter tagDetected = new IntentFilter(NfcAdapter.ACTION_TAG_DISCOVERED);
writeTagFilters = new IntentFilter[] { tagDetected };
mTechLists = new String[][] {new String[] {
Ndef.class.getName(),
IsoDep.class.getName()
}};
}
@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
disableForegroundMode();
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
enableForegroundMode();
}
public void enableForegroundMode() {
Log.d(TAG, "onResume");
nfcAdapter.enableForegroundDispatch(this, pIntent, writeTagFilters, mTechLists);
}
public void disableForegroundMode() {
Log.d(TAG, "onPause");
nfcAdapter.disableForegroundDispatch(this);
}
@Override
public void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
Log.d(TAG, "onNewIntent");
if(NfcAdapter.ACTION_TAG_DISCOVERED.equals(intent.getAction())){
Tag tag = intent.getParcelableExtra(NfcAdapter.EXTRA_TAG);
Ndef nDef = Ndef.get(tag);
if (nDef != null) {
onNdefDiscovered(tag);
}
else {
onTagDiscovered(tag);
}
}
}
public void onNdefDiscovered(Tag tag) {
Log.d(TAG, "Ndef found");
new ReadTag().execute(tag);
}
public void onTagDiscovered(Tag tag) {
Log.d(TAG, "HCEfound");
IsoDep isoDep = IsoDep.get(tag);
IsoDepTransceiver transceiver = new IsoDepTransceiver(isoDep, this);
transceiver.run();
}
@Override
public void onMessage(final byte[] message) {
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
String readFromHce = new String(message);
TextView result = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.refTextView);
result.setText(readFromHce);
}
});
}
@Override
public void onError(Exception exception) {
onMessage(exception.getMessage().getBytes());
}
}

Do anyone have an idea what I´m doing wrong? I´ve searched around quite a bit without finding a solution to this. So again. I can read the Ndef-tag without problems. I can only read the emultated IsoDep-tag when the screen on the HCE-device is locked.
Thankful for any help
Regards
Edit: Code below is working
public class NfcReader extends Activity implements OnMessageReceived, ReaderCallback {
private static String TAG = NfcReader.class.getSimpleName();
private NfcAdapter nfcAdapter;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
TextView result = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.refTextView);
nfcAdapter = NfcAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(this);
}
@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
nfcAdapter.disableReaderMode(this);
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
nfcAdapter.enableReaderMode(this, this, NfcAdapter.FLAG_READER_NFC_A, null);
}
public void onTagDiscovered(Tag tag) {
Log.d(TAG, "Tag Found");
Ndef nDef = Ndef.get(tag);
IsoDep isoDep = IsoDep.get(tag);
if (nDef != null) {
new ReadTag().execute(tag);
}
else if (isoDep != null){
IsoDepTransceiver transceiver = new IsoDepTransceiver(isoDep, this);
transceiver.run();
}
}
@Override
public void onMessage(final byte[] message) {
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
String readFromHce = new String(message);
TextView result = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.refTextView);
result.setText(readFromHce);
}
});
}
@Override
public void onError(Exception exception) {
onMessage(exception.getMessage().getBytes());
}
}
Big thanks to NFC guy for the tip.
