Topic: libnfc and libfreefare JNI

Hello,

First of all, I am not sure if this is the right forum entry to put this post.

At this moment am I trying to build a JNI wrapper for the libnfc and libfreefare in order to use those libraries in Android applications. The description of porting those libraries can be found on: http://www.few.vu.nl/~hak300/libnfc_to_android.pdf. However, I am wondering if someone already wrote or knows a JNI wrapper for those libs.

Re: libnfc and libfreefare JNI

I need the exact same thing so would be interested in cooperating. The target is Android tablets with external NFC readers attached to them.

Have you considered JNA? It's a lot slower than JNI but tag reading/writing probably isn't performance critical and easier to set up. There seems to be an Android port but I haven't tried it: http://code.google.com/p/javacv/wiki/JNAOnAndroid

Re: libnfc and libfreefare JNI

N.B. I saw this other post: http://www.libnfc.org/community/post/2091/#p2091 -- have you created a JNI or JNA layer for libnfc?
