BeaconParser instance issue Android beacon library - android

I am trying to collect temperature and humidity from beacons, that sends this raw data:
020106 020AFC 0A16 ABFE 70BF01 00DB00DB
where:
0x02 – length (2 bytes)
0x01 – type (flags)
0x06 – value (BIN=00000110)
0x02 -length (2 bytes)
0x0A type («Tx Power Level»)
0xFC – value (DEC =-4)
0x0A – length (10 bytes)
0x16 - type («Service Data - 16-bit UUID»
0xABFE - UUID = FEAB
0x70 – frame type (temperature and humidity)
0xBF – TX#1m
0x01 – TX power
0x00DB – temperature (DEC=219 = 21.9 C)
0x00DB – humidity (DEC – 219= 21.9C)
I am trying to build an instance, but it looks like that it is not correct, WAIDW?
m:9-10=feab, i:11-14, p:6-6, d:14-17
Thank you for your help

Try this:
"s:0-1=feab,m:2-2=70,i:3-8,p:3-3,d:5-6,d:7-8"
That expression will:
match on a 16 bit service UUID 0xFEAB (which you show)
make sure the first byte after the service UUID is 0x70 (which you show). This will ensure it is a temp and humidity frame
put the full bytes of the frame into the first identifier field accessible by beacon.getId1() (this is not very useful, but you are required to have at least one identifier field for your beacon parser)
put the raw temperature value into the first data field accessible by beacon.beacon.getDataFields().get(0)
put the raw humidity value into the second data field accessible by beacon.beacon.getDataFields().get(1)

BLE Heart Rate Senser Value Interpretation

I have an Android App where I get Heart Rate Measurements from a Polar H10 Device.
I'm totally lost on how to interpret the heart rate. Various links to the bluetooth.com site are resulting in 404 errors unfortunately.
The characteristics value is i.e.
[16, 59, 83, 4]
From what I understood the second byte (59) is the heart rate in BPM. But this does not seem to be decimal as the value goes up to 127 and then goes on -127, -126, -125, ... It is not hex either.
I tried (in kotlin)
characteristic.value[1].toUInt()
characteristic.value[1].toInt()
characteristic.value[1].toShort()
characteristic.value[1].toULong()
characteristic.value[1].toDouble()
All values freak out as soon as the -127 appears.
Do I have to convert the 59 to binary (59=111011) and see it in there? Please give me some insight.
### Edit (12th April 2021) ###
What I do to get those values is a BluetoothDevice.connectGatt().
Then hold the GATT.
In order to get heart rate values I look for
Service 0x180d and its
characteristic 0x2a37 and its only
descriptor 0x2902.
Then I enable notifications by setting 0x01 on the descriptor. I then get ongoing events in the GattClientCallback.onCharacteristicChanged() callback. I will add a screenshot below with all data.
From what I understood the response should be 6 bytes long instead of 4, right? What am I doing wrong?
On the picture you see the characteristic on the very top. It is linked to the service 180d and the characteristic holds the value with 4 bytes on the bottom.
See Heart Rate Value in BLE for the links to the documents. As in that answer, here's the decode:
Byte 0 - Flags: 16 (0001 0000)
Bits are numbered from LSB (0) to MSB (7).
Bit 0 - Heart Rate Value Format: 0 => UINT8 beats per minute
Bit 1-2 - Sensor Contact Status: 00 => Not supported or detected
Bit 3 - Energy Expended Status: 0 => No Present
Bit 4 - RR-Interval: 1 => One or more values are present
So the first byte is a heart rate in UInt8 format, and the next two bytes are an RR interval.
To read this in Kotlin:
characteristic.getIntValue(FORMAT_UINT8, 1)
This return a heart rate of 56 bpm.
And ignore the other two bytes unless you want the RR.
It seems I found a way by retrieving the value as follows
val hearRateDecimal = characteristic.getIntValue(BluetoothGattCharacteristic.FORMAT_UINT8, 1)
2 things are important
first - the format of UINT8 (although I don't know when to use UINT8 and when UINT16. Actually I thought I need to use UINT16 as the first byte is actually 16 (see the question above)
second - the offset parameter 1
What I now get is an Integer even beyond 127 -> 127, 128, 129, 130, ...

How to write two types of information into nfc tag and make reader read them at the same time?

I am working on a Mobile Programming project. The Mobile program aims to write uri information like http://example.com as uri payload and wifi credentials so that when you tap nfc tag you can connect to wifi and open up uri in the browser.
I have tested to write two information into one nfc tag but it does not seem to provide two operations at the same time.
If the project is successful on tap onto nfc tag the mobile has to popup wifi connection and open uri in the browser.
If anyone has the clue i will be so pleased to follow!
NDEF message is composed of NDEF Records. In this case, the message should consist of 4 records namely:
URI Record Type representing http://example.com
Recommended Action Record
Title Record
Wifi Simple Configuration Record defined by Wi-Fi Alliance Mime Type being application/vnd.wfa.wsc (Android Code that writes such record)
NDEF message consisting of the first 3 records is as follows. Please update it to contain the 4th record yourself.
----------
Offset Content Length Explanation
0 0xD1 1 NDEF header. TNF = 0x01(Well Known Type). SR=1, MB=1, ME=1
1 0x02 1 Record name length (2 bytes)
2 0x30 1 Length of the Smart Poster data (48 bytes)
3 “Sp” 2 The record name
5 0x81 1 NDEF header. TNF = 0x01, SR=0, MB=1, ME=0
6 0x01 1 Record name length (1 byte)
7 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x0C 4 The length of the URI payload (12 bytes) (long format)
11 “U” 1 Record type: “U”
12 0x03 1 Abbreviation: “http://”
13 “example.com” 11 The URI itself.
24 0x11 1 NDEF record header (SR=1, TNF=0x01)
25 0x03 1 The length of the record name
26 0x01 1 The length of the “act” payload.
27 “act” 3 Record type: “act”
30 0x00 1 Action = Launch browser
31 0x11 1 NDEF record header (SR=1, TNF=0x01)
32 0x01 1 Length of the record name
33 0x12 1 Length of the record payload (18 bytes)
34 “T” 1 Record type: “T” (=Text)
35 0x05 1 Status byte for the Text (UTF-8, five-byte code)
36 “en-US” 5 ISO Language code: US-English
41 “Hello, world” 12 The text: “Hello world”, encoded in UTF-8.
----------
To answer your question of whether its possible to get the Android reader to handle these multiple records we should look at the NFC Tag Dispatch system
This system creates an intent with
- action = NfcAdapter.ACTION_NDEF_DISCOVERED
- MimeType = mimetype of the first record
- Intent's Extra NfcAdapter.EXTRA_NDEF_MESSAGES contains complete Ndef message
Therefore, Android populates mimetype of first record only.
Its left to the application or service that picks up this intent to process all the NDEF records as needed.

NFC Update Binary command sequence not clear

I write data to a 14443A Tag with a HTC One SV (PN544, Android 4.1.2), using the "binary update" APDU command, but I see between the message size (byte#5) and the beginning of the NDEF record two additional zero-bytes (#6,7). I checked the ISO7816 standard and can't see the purpose of these two additional bytes, is this conforming to the standard ?
I'm parsing the APDU/NDEF message in a C-program, how can I find the beginning of the NDEF message, can I assume that these two zero bytes are always there or do I have to search for the "D1" byte ?
The ISO7816, UPDATE BINARY:
CLA As defined in 5.4.1
INS 'D6'
P1-P2 See text below
Lc field Length of the subsequent data field
Data field String of data units to be updated
Le field Empty
If b8=1 in P1, then b6-5 are set to 0 (RFU bits). bit5-1 of P1 are a short EF identifier and P2 is the offset of the first byte to be updated in data units from the beginning of the file.
If b7=1 in P1, then P1||P2 is the offset of the first byte to be written in data units from the beginning of the file.
cmdMessage = "\u0002"+"en"+"erase";
Tag tag = intent.getParcelableExtra(NfcAdapter.EXTRA_TAG);
NdefRecord txtRecord = new NdefRecord(NdefRecord.TNF_WELL_KNOWN, NdefRecord.RTD_TEXT, new byte[0], cmdMessage.getBytes());
NdefMessage newMessage = new NdefMessage(new NdefRecord[] { txtRecord});
writeNdefMessageToTag(newMessage, tag);
0x00: 0x02
0x01: 0x00 CLA
0x02: 0xD6 INS, bin update
0x03: 0x00 P1, Address MSB
0x04: 0x00 P2, Address LSB
0x05: 0x0E Lc, msg size
0x06: 0x00 ??
0x07: 0x00 ??
0x08: 0xD1 NDEF header, TNF
0x09: 0x01 type-len
0x0A: 0x08 payload-len
0x0B: 0x54 "T"
0x0C: 0x02 0x02
0x0D: 0x65 e "en"
0x0E: 0x6E n
0x0F: 0x65 e "erase"
0x10: 0x72 r
0x11: 0x61 a
0x12: 0x73 s
0x13: 0x65 e
after sending the 0x9000 acknowledge the smartphone is sending another write message:
what's the purpose of this additional write access ?
I guess that 0x0C is the size of the NDEF message which was written in previous sequence,
but why sending this information in a separate write access ?
0x00: 0x03<\n>
0x01: 0x00<\n>
0x02: 0xD6<\n>
0x03: 0x00<\n>
0x04: 0x00<\n>
0x05: 0x02<\n>
0x06: 0x00<\n>
0x07: 0x0C<\n>
The first two bytes of the NDEF message file contain the data size (i.e. the number of valid bytes in the file). In the first write command (i.e. while writing the NDEF message, these two bytes are set to zero. Thus, if the write operation is interrupted before the whole message was written, reading the the NDEF file will show an empty file instead of a corrupted NDEF message. Then, when the whole NDEF message was successfully written to the file, another write command is issued to update the data size to the size of the NDEF message. Now, if the file is read, the reader will receive the correct NDEF message size and will thus be able to read the full NDEF message.

Sending value through bluetooth

I have set up a bluetooth connection and found the data does not match on the receiver (visually through scope). The issue appears to be the data conversion int to byte.
buffer[0] = (byte) r_value
Where r_value has a range of 0-255. All work fin as long as the value is not greater than 127. Anyone have a solution. I have a bluetooth HC-06 slave with a samsung note 10 to send via bluetooth.
A byte in java is a signed byte; Byte.MAX_VALUE = 127 Byte.MIN_VALUE = -128.
byte type holds 256 values, within the range of -128...0...127 ( -128 negative number + 127 postive number + 0 ) but unsigned byte can hold values 0 to 255.
Edit: unsigned doesn't supported in Java

Android NFC (ATQB from ISO-14443 Type B tag to phone)

My goal is to have an Android phone (Samsung Galaxy Nexus) communicate with a TI TRF7970A card in emulation mode (emulates ISO-14443 type B tag) through NFC.
I understand that the PCD (Android phone) sends out a "REQB" with a given AFI and then which ever PICC's (in my case only PICC is the TI TRF7970 card) that have a matching AFI will send an "ATQB" back to the PCD.
In some TRF7970A firmware the "ATQB" response was set up like so:
0x50; //
//PUPI
0x80; // PUPI_0
0x12; // PUPI_1
0x34; // PUPI_2
0x56; // PUPI_3
//Application DATA
0x40; // APP_0 AFI Telecommunication (Telephone,GSM) All Sub families 1-F
0xE2; // APP_1 CRC_B of the AID (multibyte application identifier code which identifies an application provider or issuer and indicates if the application provider is registered with ISO)
0xAF; // APP_2 CRC_B of the AID
0x11; // APP_3 # of applications (1)
//Protocol DATA
0x80; // Data rate capabilities (Same bit rate from PCD to PICC and from PICC to PCD compulsory)
0x71; // Max Frames (128 bytes) / Protocol Type (supports PICC ISO 14443-4)
0x85; // FWI (0b1000 - 8192 ETUs or 77328.6 us) / ADC (0b01 - determines what APP_0-3 are if 0b00 then App data can be anything) / FO (0b01 - CID Supported - used for identification of multiple cards in the Active state)
This "ATQB" has the PCD (Android phone) automatically launch the web browser with URL "http://www.Cisco Auth Complete".
Question:
(1) Which field tells the phone to automatically launch the web browser? How can I change that field so that I can manually chose which application acts on the intent?
I've tried looking online to learn how I can manipulate the fields but have had no luck.
I read 3 Type B 14443-4 Smart Cards (MAXIM-MAX66020k-00AA+) with my Android phone and the "ATQB"'s were as follows:
Card 1 Card 2 Card 3
0x50 0x50 0x50
//PUPI
0xd8 0x99 0x1a
0x60 0x5c 0x61
0x02 0x02 0x02
0x00 0x00 0x00
//Application Data
0x10 0x20 0x10
0x10 0x00 0x10
0x11 0x2b 0x11
0x11 0xe0 0x11
//Protocol Data
0x00 0x00 0x00 106Kbits/sec
0x00 0x00 0x00 16 bytes / Not type B -4 complient)
0x00 0x00 0x00 32 ETUs / Application is proprietary / Nad "nor" CID are supported
I tried sending these exact ATQB messages with the TI TRF7970A card but the Android phone still does not act on the "ATQB" response.
Question:
(2) Can you point out a reason why any of these last 3 "ATQB"'s wouldn't be excepted?
(3) What are some legit "ATQB"'s that when sent to my Android phone it will create an intent?
(4) Are there rules I can follow so that my android phone always creates an intent on the "ATQB"'s I respond with from the TI TRF7970A?
If you could direct me to a source that can explain any of this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
-Derek
I think you are looking in the wrong place. The TRF7970A is probably emulating an NFC Forum Type 4 Tag, containing an NDEF message.
How this results in an intent is explained at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/nfc/nfc.html
