Question

RFID Scanning?

1

Hi guys, Does anyone know if it is possible to use the native RFID scanner from an android phone to send an input to a text field in a mendix app running natively on android? Use case is essentially an asset tracking app that needs to allow RFID chip scanning when loading assets into the system. Any help would be appreciated, including alternate suggestions if you have any.

As phonegap has a plugin you might be able to create a widget to suit your purpose.

For some inspiration have a look at: https://github.com/lapavila/RFIDScannerPlugin

For Mendix 7 you should look at plugins for Cordova/Phonegap as Erwin says. For Mendix 8 you could look at React Native plugins. There are multiple available. We didn't get it to work yet in Mx8 though, because we needed to make some changes in the plugin XML that's not yet accessible.
