Fix/remove android beam - #508
Conversation
…fc.stopHandover from README and phonegap-nfc.js
|
Hi @souleymane-diallo sadly this repo is not maintained for 4 years. I have forked it here https://github.com/scr2em/phonegap-nfc and I'll maintain it and release it to npm under a new name. Can you help me and create a PR to it too? |

No need to add this empty build.gradle?

Please, any info on why removing this implements NfcAdapter.OnNdefPushCompleteCallback can be done, or is necessary, or else?

Removing implements NfcAdapter.OnNdefPushCompleteCallback corresponds with Android Beam's phase-out in API 29 and its complete removal in API 34 for Android 14. This update keeps our plugin aligned with the latest Android standards and free from deprecated code.

This interface implements NfcAdapter.OnNdefPushCompleteCallback https://developer.android.com/reference/android/nfc/NfcAdapter.OnNdefPushCompleteCallback which includes the method @Override public void onNdefPushComplete(NfcEvent event). If we remove this interface, we must also remove the associated @Override. Since our goal is related to Android Beam, which is no longer supported, we no longer need to implement this interface or the @Override.

OK to remove handover/stopHandover because directly related to Beam, as visible in the code here.
But why removing share/unshare? It seems to be related to "NdefPush"/"Push" ; is that part of Android Beam too?

The removal of shareTag and unshareTag actions is due to their dependence on the NDEF push feature, which is primarily facilitated through Android Beam. Since Android Beam and related functionalities have been deprecated and removed in newer Android APIs, maintaining these actions would lead to future compatibility issues and potential security risks. This ensures our plugin stays updated with supported Android NFC capabilities.

Android Beam https://developer.android.com/develop/connectivity/nfc/nfc#p2p a feature that utilized NFC for file sharing, is no longer supporte. Although it still exists in the SDK, it is not functional; the code does not compile and links to the documentation are non-existent.
Development guides once referred to "Beam file," https://developer.android.com/training/beam-files but this documentation has been removed and redirects to 'file sharing'. Specific links to Android Beam https://developer.android.com/reference/android/nfc/NfcAdapter as well as any dedicated documentation and its specific methods are no longer available.

The chariotsolutions/phonegap-nfc plugin includes Android Beam features, which were deprecated in Android API 29 and
removed in API 34. As a result, the plugin is incompatible with Android 14.
