How to implement RFID features in our Android Application? - android

I want to develop an android app using android 4.0 API level, in my application I want to implement RFID features can anyone give me the idea or any code snippet regarding RFID feature implementation in android application.
Thanks to All.

Have a look at Nordic Id STIX uhf rfid reader.You can connect it to your phone using USB Ports.
They will provide you SDK for Application development.

You can develop Android application using NFC (RFID-like technology). More about NFC API here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/nfc/index.html

You should try to get Professional Android Sensor programing e-book it explains how to implement lots of sensors including RFID, geolocation and lots of other stuff that might be helpfull.
Hope it helped.

How do Bluetooth Controller apps work? (And what would I use to make one)

I'm looking to create a Bluetooth Controller app (probably for android) with some specific features for a game I'm making, but I can't find any information on how these work.
Everything I search only comes up with recommendations for the best apps to use.
Here's what I need to know:
How do these things work?
What libraries could I use to create one of these
I don't really care what language or framework these are for, I'm willing to learn something new in able to make this

SerialPort / Bluetooth support in Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.UWP

I'm making an app for Android and UWP that connects to a barcode scanner over bluetooth, but I'm really struggling getting the right lib or something because System.IO.Ports isn't available.
I also tried to implement both in some abstraction library, but it seems difficult. Is there someone who can help me out?
Thanks in advance
You need to create different implementation for different platform.
For Android platform, there are some discussions, for example:
Xamarin forum question
Connecting to a Bluetooth Scanner with Xamarin Android
For Universal Windows Platform, the Barcode Scanner API is the right thing we need to use. Please notice the Remark part in that document.
The official Barcode scanner sample is a good demo for beginner.
A bit late but... I am using this Nuget Package:
https://github.com/inthehand/32feet
It supports Classic Bletooth and Bluetooth BLE, and it works both on Android and iOS. The project is supported at this date and it is very well documented.

Can you access Bluetooth on smartphones without writing any native code?

This is for a research project at school so this is somewhat urgent. We need to know if this technology exists, or if it would require us to build something native for each device.
Is it possible to use any frameworks or tools to access Bluetooth sensors from a non-native application. For example, I gather that HTML5 applications will can access some sensors, but need bridging frameworks to access others (i.e. PhoneGap). Are there any other apps that have tackled this problem in the past that we can research?
With iOS you need to use it through GameKit, and even then there are big restrictions. With android your application has to specifically request access to bluetooth with permissions.
As far as I searched, it's not possible to use raw HTML5 to access to mobile native features such as Bluetooth on mobile devices. The only way so far that I have found is to use cross-platform mobile application development or native apps. Just keep in mind that not all cross-platform frameworks support all phone native features like Bluetooth. I think the one you mentioned, PhoneGap, does not support Bluetooth. It would be great to put comments if have you come up with any solution for your post.

how do i find proximity support in Qualcomm's AllJoyn sdk for Android

I am trying to get a clear idea about Proximity mention in AllJoyn app and there are several explination (theories) that i find intresting but , I still want to know can Alljoyn support proximity? If yes then how do I go about it? Can I see an example using proximity or reference a sample App as im not able to find proper references to the same. The Chat app I've seen works perfectly using WiFi but how can i accomplish the same using a bluetooth? Kindly help me..Thank You in advance..
Bluetooth support is only available in the android sdk. In order use bluetooth, you either have to wait until AllJoyn is adopted by OEMs, or rooting your phone and doing some fiddling. More info can be found https://www.alljoyn.org/docs-and-downloads/documentation/alljoyn-android-environment-setup-guide#unique_21
If/when bluetooth is integrated/supported, your use of AllJoyn should be the same, as AllJoyn works to hide the communication details from you.

Printing using Flex Burrito in Android,Ipad,Blackberry

I 'm thinking about developing a restaurant application using Flex Burrito.
Is there anyone who can tell me if it possible to print from an Android enabled device to a WIFI printer / kitchen printer? (is it possible to do this also on an IPAD, Blackberry?)
Thanks in advance
Google Cloud Print?
http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/apis/cloudprint/docs/overview.html
AirPrint for the iPad. However this is currently available only for HP printers. http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/airprint.html. From a Blackberry you need to do it using a custom created app. There are also some 3rd party apps created for the BB. Check http://thinkabdul.com/2007/10/02/free-beamberry-blackberry-suite-to-view-print-documents-via-bluetooth-usb-store-pdf-ms-office-zip-files-on-rim-41/
Hope this helps. If so, +1 :)
