  • Stop
  • Set Dynamic Buffers
  • Clear Dynamic Buffers

NFC Primer - Bridging the Digital and Physical Worlds

The SDK wraps the operating system's NFC APIs to manage all NFC communication between our tags and your apps.

NFC is a short range (~2cm) wireless protocol. An NFC reader session must be initiated with a function call, and it can only be completed if the phone is brought within NFC read-range.

Therefore the tag reading process involves both software actions and hardware actions, as depicted in the figure below. Blue text indicates the actions that are automatically handled by the SDK. Purple indicates the actions that you must handle in your app's code.
