Professional Nfc Application Development for Android

Informationen zum Autor Vedat Coskun established NFC Lab - Istanbul (NFCLab.com), the leading research lab on Near Field Communication technology worldwide. His major research areas are NFC, mobility, mobile application development, cashless payment, smartcards, Java technology, and mobile security.Kerem Ok and Busra Ozdenizci are researchers at NFC Lab - Istanbul who have participated in several groundbreaking NFC technology projects.Professional NFC Application Development for Android offers the step-by-step guidance, expert advice, and insider tips you need to hop on the NFC bandwagon and start creating brilliant NFC apps for Android devices in no time. Klappentext A practical guide to developing and deploying Near Field Communication (NFC) applicationsThere has been little practical guidance available on NFC programming, until now. If you're a programmer or developer, get this unique and detailed book and start creating apps for this exciting technology. NFC enables contactless mobile communication between two NFC-compatible devices. It's what allows customers to pay for purchases by swiping their smartphones with Google Wallet, for example. This book shows you how to develop NFC applications for Android, for all NFC operating modes: reader/writer, peer-to-peer, and card emulation.The book starts with the basics of NFC technology, an overview of the Android OS, and what you need to know about the SDK tools. It then walks you through all aspects of NFC app development, including SE programming. You'll find all you need to create an app, including functioning, downloadable code and a companion website with additional content. Valuable case studies help you understand each operating mode in clear, practical detail.* Shows programmers and developers how to develop Near Field Communication (NFC) applications for Android, including Secure Element (SE) programming* Expert authors are NFC researchers who have a deep knowledge of the subject* Covers app development in all NFC operating modes: reader/writer, peer-to-peer, and card emulation* Includes valuable case studies that showcase several system design and analysis methods, such as activity diagram, class diagram, UML, and othersProfessional NFC Application Development for Android offers the clear, concise advice you need to create great applications for this emerging and exciting technology.
