[Testing] NFC for Halium 9 ports

mateo_salta

@mateo_salta i could probally write a basic app that just passes on the url to urldispatcher as a stopgap, i think that will be my next thing to try

fredldotme

@mateo_salta Could you possibly release a version of your demo QtNfc writer app with the nfc policy group enabled? I would like to test it in a confined environment. Or even better, could you release the source code for it?

NFC should be in next dev :
https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1697
But in concrete terms, what will this technology implemented on UT smartphones allow us to do in daily use?

fredldotme

@domubpkm depends on what app developers can envision and implement with it. It could be used for home automation for example, triggering events via NFC tags.

I almost never used NFC in my life. Maybe once or twice I used it to automatically pair bluetooth devices
But that's why I'm really looking forward having it on UT because I'm pretty sure I will use it. I've used a lot things just because they are available on UT

mateo_salta

@fredldotme oh yeah, the source is in the example folders of qt-master, they have a handfull of demos, I will try the apparmor, didn't know that was going yet

mateo_salta

@kugiigi I'm looking foward to trying this example, ( https://github.com/qt/qtconnectivity/blob/8618e25e01ca9c6c6b2221041f625ac69f6757b8/examples/nfc/corkboard/corkboards.qml) and sticking some of the stickers on my refrigerator as notes

Is there already a test app? I have at least one device here where I would love to test it...

@flohack https://github.com/fredldotme/ut-nfc-ndef-demo and https://github.com/fredldotme/ut-nfcd-p2p-demo respectively

@fredldotme I tried to build the p2p-demo with clickable, but get the error, that "nfc" is an unsupported policy-group... do I have to use some modified docker image for building this?

flohack

@fredldotme I meant a click to be installed for the lazy of us...

fredldotme

NFC support has been merged into Clickable just recently. Using Clickable from git will work.
