Android and ndef

Okay, I have saved a copy of that PDF.

What page should I be looking at to understand the particular issue which is troubling you?

...R

That whole document is about the format of one byte, the type byte.
Its like the ftdi but worse.
The android lot seem to use it but no one is telling how so far.

OK. I will try to find a few minutes to read it tonight.

Is there any chance you can narrow the scope of your enquiry to a few optional values for that byte?
Or can you tell me what sort of data you want to read or create?

At the moment I feel like I'm standing in the middle of a large field with no instructions for what to do next.

More of the stuff that's in your head has to find its way into my head - I can't read minds.

That byte has 255 possible values, i know only a few from a tag,
Im trying to discover which values are used.
With my limited available data its impossible.
Android developers probably know but so far they are not telling.

I'm losing the will to live ...

Are you trying to find out what all the 255 values are used for as an academic exercise (in which case I will bow out) or are you trying to solve a specific problem that I may be able to help with.

If you don't/won't/can't tell me what it is I can't help.

That's why I asked what the goal is because a collection of what can be shown to work is at least something.
Isn't there enough available to more than get by and add what comes later?

You are right.
I can read write a couple of records so i think ill wait until android guy sorts it out.

Lost the will.
Ive had a few moment like that the past year with this.

If you are not prepared to help me to help you, what can I do.

You've got the library. How many does that cover?
If you don't have all those then you give up too easy.

I only have the data for two of the records.
I need more data basically.

If i had more tags i could read the fields one at a time until i know what they all are.
Tags are small about 140 bytes.
I need i guess 10 th 20 to do all fields, that is assuming there are not extra fields defined that a particular app does not utilise.

The librar only covers the 6 defined types, i have found 2 other by reading tags programmed by an android.

I have reading sorted but not enough data to work out the field ids.

I can't see any connection between your comment and mine.

Over the course of the past couple of pages I have asked a few specfic questions that got no direct answer.

Key among them is this (from Reply #22)

Or can you tell me what sort of data you want to read or create?

If you don't have a good reply to this in your next post I will find it very difficult to maintain any interest in your project. Answers to all the other open questions would be a huge bonus.

Narrow the scope , no.
They could be any of 255.
I can read them but only have a couple of tads with data on them.
I believe between 20 and 30 different ones exist.
Just do not have the information or enough tags to work them out.
