Scan a NFC-TAG and let your phone do the work.


This is a Locale Plug-in. For it to work you will have to have Locale or Tasker already installed on your device.How you use it:1. Select the plugin in Locale.2. Scan a NFC-enabled tag of some kind.3. Chose actions that should fire when tag is scanned.Please note that your screen will have to be on for the phone to be able to scan NFC-tags. This is a limit in the Android system and can not, at the moment, be changed.Please also note that at the moment the plugin cant detect when you remove your phone from a tag.The plugin reads the Unique Identifier of a NFC-enabled tag. This means that you will not need to write any data to the tag. Instead you can use any NFC-enabled card. Such as commuter cards, access card or whatever you have lying around. These cards can then be linked to trigger any other setting or action that is available from within Locale or Tasker.One user scenario can be that you place a NFC-tag in your car. Once the tag is scanned it could enable bluetooth and start the navigation app of your choice.It supports the following standards: Sony SmartTags, MifareClassic, MifareUltralight, ISO14443-4, ISO14443-3A, ISO14443-3B, JIS6319-4, ISO15693.If you have conflicts with other NFC-applications such as the default Tags-app you can do the following:If you have a Ice Cream Sandwich phone - System Settings->Apps->ALL->Tags->DisableIf you have a Gingerbread phone you will have to write a unique tag for this plugin. To do this follow this guide http://goo.gl/uZmYvIf you have trouble finding the plugin in Tasker, this is where you should find it. Create a Profile -> State -> Plugin -> Locale NFC Plugin.If you have any questions or feedback feel free to give me a tweet or send me an e-mail.The application have been tested on Galaxy Nexus, Samsung GalaxyS2 LTE, Asus Nexus 7 and LG Nexus 4.*Added support for Sony SmartTags.*Added German locale.*Fixed a bug where empty tags wasnt detectable on Gingerbread phones.*Conflicts with other NFC-apps can now be resolved by following this Google+ post http://goo.gl/uZmYv*Minor changes to some locale strings.

Hello I have a Samsung s6 and it misses the default check box when scanning Nfc tags and all the time I am presented with a menu to choose from a bunch of apps which one to start. This app is the only one I have fund that you cand integrate in Tasker and if you withe a custom URL bad://access/development to the nfc tag it will start the task linked in Tasker by default.

I have a lg v10. All other nfc apps I have work exept this one. It didn't recognize any nfc tags. It's a shame because this looks like it would be simpler to use than other apps. My goal was to have this trigger my task to send http post request to a php file

Works with Tasker, but will trigger false positives since it has no idea that the tag is no longer in contact with your phone. The developer mentions this in the description, but it would still be very nice to have.

If the tag is written with something, then it can read in Tasker. If there is data in the tag, nothing happen, the option allow repetitive scan doesn't work. I feel sad. Refund?

It is unclear why, but sometimes my phone fails to activate the NFC action for my tag. This plugin is useful in my car to prep my car dashboard app.

I have an "in car holder" task which triggers fine. Yet when I move the phone a couple of meters away the task remains active. Is this a bug or the actual range? S900F.
