Android allows you to transfer large files between devices using the Android Beam file transfer
|
||||
feature. This feature has a simple API and allows users to start the transfer process by simply
|
||||
touching devices. In response, Android Beam file transfer automatically copies files from one
|
||||
device to the other and notifies the user when it's finished.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
While the Android Beam file transfer API handles large amounts of data, the Android Beam NDEF
|
||||
transfer API introduced in Android 4.0 (API level 14) handles small amounts of data such as
|
||||
URIs or other small messages. In addition, Android Beam is only one of the features available
|
||||
in the Android NFC framework, which allows you to read NDEF messages from NFC tags. To learn
|
||||
more about Android Beam, see the topic

||||

Android Beam file transfer copies files to a special directory on the receiving device. It also
|
||||
scans the copied files using the Android Media Scanner and adds entries for media files to
|
||||
the {@link android.provider.MediaStore} provider. This lesson shows you how to respond when the
|
||||
file copy is complete, and how to locate the copied files on the receiving device.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2 id="IntentFilter">Respond to a Request to Display Data</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
When Android Beam file transfer finishes copying files to the receiving device, it posts a
|
||||
notification containing an {@link android.content.Intent} with the action
|
||||
{@link android.content.Intent#ACTION_VIEW ACTION_VIEW}, the MIME type of the first file that
|
||||
was transferred, and a URI that points to the first file. When the user clicks the notification,
|
||||
this intent is sent out to the system. To have your app respond to this intent, add an
|
||||
<code><a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/intent-filter-element.html"
|
||||
><intent-filter></a></code> element for the
|
||||
<code><a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html"
|
||||
><activity></a></code> element of the {@link android.app.Activity} that should respond.
|
||||
In the <code><a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/intent-filter-element.html"
|
||||
><intent-filter></a></code> element, add the following child elements:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<dl>
|
||||
<dt>
|
||||
<code><a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/action-element.html"
|
||||
><action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" /></a></code>
|
||||
</dt>
|
||||
<dd>
|
||||
Matches the {@link android.content.Intent#ACTION_VIEW ACTION_VIEW} intent sent from the
|
||||
notification.
|
||||
</dd>
|
||||
<dt>
|
||||
<code><a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/category-element.html"
|
||||
><category android:name="android.intent.category.CATEGORY_DEFAULT" /></a></code>
|
||||
</dt>
|
||||
<dd>
|
||||
Matches an {@link android.content.Intent} that doesn't have an explicit category.
|
||||
</dd>
|
||||
<dt>
|
||||
<code><a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/data-element.html"
|
||||
><data android:mimeType="<i>mime-type</i>" /></a></code>
|
||||
</dt>
|
||||
<dd>
|
||||
Matches a MIME type. Specify only those MIME types that your app can handle.
|
||||
</dd>
|
||||
</dl>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
For example, the following snippet shows you how to add an intent filter that
|
||||
triggers the activity <code>com.example.android.nfctransfer.ViewActivity</code>:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
<activity
|
||||
android:name="com.example.android.nfctransfer.ViewActivity"
|
||||
android:label="Android Beam Viewer" >
|
||||
...
|
||||
<intent-filter>
|
||||
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
|
||||
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
|
||||
...
|
||||
</intent-filter>
|
||||
</activity>
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="note">
|
||||
<strong>Note:</strong> Android Beam file transfer is not the only source of an
|
||||
{@link android.content.Intent#ACTION_VIEW ACTION_VIEW} intent. Other apps on the receiving
|
||||
device can also send an {@link android.content.Intent} with this action.
|
||||
Handling this situation is discussed in the section <a href="#GetDirectory"
|
||||
>Get the directory from a content URI</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2 id="RequestPermissions">Request File Permissions</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To read files that Android Beam file transfer copies to the device, request the permission
|
||||
{@link android.Manifest.permission#READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}. For example:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /></pre>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you want to copy transferred files to your app's own storage area, request the permission
|
||||
{@link android.Manifest.permission#WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE} instead.
|
||||
{@link android.Manifest.permission#WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE} includes
|
||||
{@link android.Manifest.permission#READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p class="note">
|
||||
<strong>Note:</strong> As of Android 4.2.2 (API level 17), the permission
|
||||
{@link android.Manifest.permission#READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE} is
|
||||
only enforced if the user chooses to do so. Future versions of the platform may require this
|
||||
permission in all cases. To ensure forward compatibility, request the permission now, before it
|
||||
becomes required.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Since your app has control over its internal storage area, you don't need to request
|
||||
write permission to copy a transferred file to your internal storage area.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2 id="GetFilePath">Get the Directory for Copied Files</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Android Beam file transfer copies all the files in a single transfer to one directory
|
||||
on the receiving device. The URI in the content {@link android.content.Intent} sent by the
|
||||
Android Beam file transfer notification points to the first transferred file. However, your
|
||||
app may also receive an {@link android.content.Intent#ACTION_VIEW ACTION_VIEW} intent from a
|
||||
source other than Android Beam file transfer. To determine how you should handle the incoming
|
||||
{@link android.content.Intent}, you need to examine its scheme and authority.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To get the scheme for the URI, call {@link android.net.Uri#getScheme() Uri.getScheme()}. The
|
||||
following code snippet shows you how to determine the scheme and handle the URI accordingly:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
|
||||
...
|
||||
// A File object containing the path to the transferred files
|
||||
private File mParentPath;
|
||||
// Incoming Intent
|
||||
private Intent mIntent;
|
||||
...
|
||||
/*
|
||||
* Called from onNewIntent() for a SINGLE_TOP Activity
|
||||
* or onCreate() for a new Activity. For onNewIntent(),
|
||||
* remember to call setIntent() to store the most
|
||||
* current Intent
|
||||
*
|
||||
*/
|
||||
private void handleViewIntent() {
|
||||
...
|
||||
// Get the Intent action
|
||||
mIntent = getIntent();
|
||||
String action = mIntent.getAction();
|
||||
/*
|
||||
* For ACTION_VIEW, the Activity is being asked to display data.
|
||||
* Get the URI.
|
||||
*/
|
||||
if (TextUtils.equals(action, Intent.ACTION_VIEW)) {
|
||||
// Get the URI from the Intent
|
||||
Uri beamUri = mIntent.getData();
|
||||
/*
|
||||
* Test for the type of URI, by getting its scheme value
|
||||
*/
|
||||
if (TextUtils.equals(beamUri.getScheme(), "file")) {
|
||||
mParentPath = handleFileUri(beamUri);
|
||||
} else if (TextUtils.equals(
|
||||
beamUri.getScheme(), "content")) {
|
||||
mParentPath = handleContentUri(beamUri);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<h3>Get the directory from a file URI</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If the incoming {@link android.content.Intent} contains a file URI, the URI contains the
|
||||
absolute file name of a file, including the full directory path and file name. For Android Beam
|
||||
file transfer, the directory path points to the location of the other transferred files, if
|
||||
any. To get the directory path, get the path part of the URI, which contains all of the URI
|
||||
except the <code>file:</code> prefix. Create a {@link java.io.File} from the path part, then
|
||||
get the parent path of the {@link java.io.File}:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
...
|
||||
public String handleFileUri(Uri beamUri) {
|
||||
// Get the path part of the URI
|
||||
String fileName = beamUri.getPath();
|
||||
// Create a File object for this filename
|
||||
File copiedFile = new File(fileName);
|
||||
// Get a string containing the file's parent directory
|
||||
return copiedFile.getParent();
|
||||
}
|
||||
...
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="GetDirectory">Get the directory from a content URI</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If the incoming {@link android.content.Intent} contains a content URI, the URI may point to a
|
||||
directory and file name stored in the {@link android.provider.MediaStore} content provider. You
|
||||
can detect a content URI for {@link android.provider.MediaStore} by testing the URI's
|
||||
authority value. A content URI for {@link android.provider.MediaStore} may come from
|
||||
Android Beam file transfer or from another app, but in both cases you can retrieve a directory
|
||||
and file name for the content URI.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
You can also receive an incoming {@link android.content.Intent#ACTION_VIEW ACTION_VIEW}
|
||||
intent containing a content URI for a content provider other than
|
||||
{@link android.provider.MediaStore}. In this case, the content URI doesn't contain the
|
||||
{@link android.provider.MediaStore} authority value, and the content URI usually doesn't point
|
||||
to a directory.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p class="note">
|
||||
<strong>Note:</strong> For Android Beam file transfer, you receive a content URI in the
|
||||
{@link android.content.Intent#ACTION_VIEW ACTION_VIEW} intent if the first incoming file
|
||||
has a MIME type of "audio/*", "image/*", or "video/*", indicating that the file is media-
|
||||
related. Android Beam file transfer indexes the media files it transfers by running Media
|
||||
Scanner on the directory where it stores transferred files. Media Scanner writes its results
|
||||
to the {@link android.provider.MediaStore} content provider, then it passes a content URI
|
||||
for the first file back to Android Beam file transfer. This content URI is the one you
|
||||
receive in the notification {@link android.content.Intent}. To get the directory
|
||||
of the first file, you retrieve it from {@link android.provider.MediaStore} using the content
|
||||
URI.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h3>Determine the content provider</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To determine if you can retrieve a file directory from the content URI, determine the
|
||||
the content provider associated with the URI by calling
|
||||
{@link android.net.Uri#getAuthority Uri.getAuthority()} to get the URI's authority. The
|
||||
result has two possible values:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<dl>
|
||||
<dt>
|
||||
{@link android.provider.MediaStore#AUTHORITY MediaStore.AUTHORITY}
|
||||
</dt>
|
||||
<dd>
|
||||
The URI is for a file or files tracked by {@link android.provider.MediaStore}. Retrieve the
|
||||
full file name from {@link android.provider.MediaStore}, and get directory from the file
|
||||
name.
|
||||
</dd>
|
||||
<dt>
|
||||
Any other authority value
|
||||
</dt>
|
||||
<dd>
|
||||
A content URI from another content provider. Display the data associated with the content
|
||||
URI, but don't get the file directory.
|
||||
</dd>
|
||||
</dl>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To get the directory for a {@link android.provider.MediaStore} content URI,
|
||||
run a query that specifies the incoming content URI for the {@link android.net.Uri} argument and
|
||||
the column {@link android.provider.MediaStore.MediaColumns#DATA MediaColumns.DATA} for the
|
||||
projection. The returned {@link android.database.Cursor} contains the full path and name for
|
||||
the file represented by the URI. This path also contains all the other files that Android Beam
|
||||
file transfer just copied to the device.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The following snippet shows you how to test the authority of the content URI and retrieve the
|
||||
the path and file name for the transferred file:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
...
|
||||
public String handleContentUri(Uri beamUri) {
|
||||
// Position of the filename in the query Cursor
|
||||
int filenameIndex;
|
||||
// File object for the filename
|
||||
File copiedFile;
|
||||
// The filename stored in MediaStore
|
||||
String fileName;
|
||||
// Test the authority of the URI
|
||||
if (!TextUtils.equals(beamUri.getAuthority(), MediaStore.AUTHORITY)) {
|
||||
/*
|
||||
* Handle content URIs for other content providers
|
||||
*/
|
||||
// For a MediaStore content URI
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
// Get the column that contains the file name
|
||||
String[] projection = { MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA };
|
||||
Cursor pathCursor =
|
||||
getContentResolver().query(beamUri, projection,
|
||||
null, null, null);
|
||||
// Check for a valid cursor
|
||||
if (pathCursor != null &&
|
||||
pathCursor.moveToFirst()) {
|
||||
// Get the column index in the Cursor
|
||||
filenameIndex = pathCursor.getColumnIndex(
|
||||
MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA);
|
||||
// Get the full file name including path
|
||||
fileName = pathCursor.getString(filenameIndex);
|
||||
// Create a File object for the filename
|
||||
copiedFile = new File(fileName);
|
||||
// Return the parent directory of the file
|
||||
return new File(copiedFile.getParent());
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
// The query didn't work; return null
|
||||
return null;
|
||||
}
|

}
|

This lesson shows you how to design your app to send large files to another device using
|
||||
Android Beam file transfer. To send files, you request permission to use NFC and external
|
||||
storage, test to ensure your device supports NFC, and provide URIs to Android Beam file
|
||||
transfer.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The Android Beam file transfer feature has the following requirements:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Android Beam file transfer for large files is only available in Android 4.1 (API level 16)
|
||||
and higher.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Files you want to transfer must reside in external storage. To learn more about using
|
||||
external storage, read <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#filesExternal"
|
||||
>Using the External Storage</a>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Each file you want to transfer must be world-readable. You can set this permission by
|
||||
calling the method {@link java.io.File#setReadable File.setReadable(true,false)}.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
You must provide a file URI for the files you want to transfer. Android Beam file transfer
|
||||
is unable to handle content URIs generated by
|
||||
{@link android.support.v4.content.FileProvider#getUriForFile FileProvider.getUriForFile}.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="DeclareFeatures">Declare Features in the Manifest</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
First, edit your app manifest to declare the permissions and features your app needs.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h3>Request Permissions</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To allow your app to use Android Beam file transfer to send files from external storage using
|
||||
NFC, you must request the following permissions in your app manifest:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<dl>
|
||||
<dt>
|
||||
{@link android.Manifest.permission#NFC NFC}
|
||||
</dt>
|
||||
<dd>
|
||||
Allows your app to send data over NFC. To specify this permission, add the following element
|
||||
as a child of the <code><a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/manifest-element.html"
|
||||
><manifest></a></code> element:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.NFC" />
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
</dd>
|
||||
<dt>
|
||||
{@link android.Manifest.permission#READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}
|
||||
</dt>
|
||||
<dd>
|
||||
Allows your app to read from external storage. To specify this permission, add the following
|
||||
element as a child of the
|
||||
<code><a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/manifest-element.html"
|
||||
><manifest></a></code> element:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
<uses-permission
|
||||
android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="note">
|
||||
<strong>Note:</strong> As of Android 4.2.2 (API level 17), this permission is not
|
||||
enforced. Future versions of the platform may require it for apps that want to read from
|
||||
external storage. To ensure forward compatibility, request the permission now, before it
|
||||
becomes required.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
</dd>
|
||||
</dl>
|
||||
<h3>Specify the NFC feature</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Specify that your app uses NFC, by adding a
|
||||
<code><a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-element.html"
|
||||
><uses-feature></a></code> element as a child
|
||||
of the <code><a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/manifest-element.html"
|
||||
><manifest></a></code> element. Set the <code>android:required</code> attribute to
|
||||
<code>true</code> to indicate that your app won't function unless NFC is present.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The following snippet shows you how to specify the
|
||||
<code><a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-element.html"
|
||||
><uses-feature></a></code> element:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
<uses-feature
|
||||
android:name="android.hardware.nfc"
|
||||
android:required="true" /></pre>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Note that if your app only uses NFC as an option, but still functions if NFC isn't present, you
|
||||
should set <code>android:required</code> to <code>false</code>, and test for NFC in code.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h3>Specify Android Beam file transfer</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Since Android Beam file transfer is only available in Android 4.1 (API level 16) and later,
|
||||
if your app depends on Android Beam file transfer for a key part of its functionality you must
|
||||
specify the <code><a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html"
|
||||
><uses-sdk></a></code> element with the
|
||||
<code><a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#min"
|
||||
>android:minSdkVersion</a>="16"</code> attribute. Otherwise, you can set
|
||||
<code><a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#min"
|
||||
>android:minSdkVersion</a></code> to another value as necessary, and test for the platform
|
||||
version in code, as described in the following section.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2 id="TestAndroidBeam">Test for Android Beam File Transfer Support</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To specify in your app manifest that NFC is optional, you use the following element:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.nfc" android:required="false" /></pre>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you set the attribute
|
||||
<code><a href="guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-element.html#required"
|
||||
>android:required</a>="false"</code>, you must test for NFC support and Android Beam file
|
||||
transfer support in code.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To test for Android Beam file transfer support in code, start by testing that the device
|
||||
supports NFC by calling {@link android.content.pm.PackageManager#hasSystemFeature
|
||||
PackageManager.hasSystemFeature()} with the argument
|
||||
{@link android.content.pm.PackageManager#FEATURE_NFC FEATURE_NFC}. Next, check that the Android
|
||||
version supports Android Beam file transfer by testing the value of
|
||||
{@link android.os.Build.VERSION#SDK_INT}. If Android Beam file transfer is supported, get an
|
||||
instance of the NFC controller, which allows you to communicate with the NFC hardware.
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
|
||||
...
|
||||
NfcAdapter mNfcAdapter;
|
||||
// Flag to indicate that Android Beam is available
|
||||
boolean mAndroidBeamAvailable = false;
|
||||
...
|
||||
@Override
|
||||
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
|
||||
...
|
||||
// NFC isn't available on the device
|
||||
if (!PackageManager.hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_NFC)) {
|
||||
/*
|
||||
* Disable NFC features here.
|
||||
* For example, disable menu items or buttons that activate
|
||||
* NFC-related features
|
||||
*/
|
||||
...
|
||||
// Android Beam file transfer isn't supported
|
||||
} else if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT <
|
||||
Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
|
||||
// If Android Beam isn't available, don't continue.
|
||||
mAndroidBeamAvailable = false;
|
||||
/*
|
||||
* Disable Android Beam file transfer features here.
|
||||
*/
|
||||
...
|
||||
// Android Beam file transfer is available, continue
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
mNfcAdapter = NfcAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(this);
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
...
|
||||
}</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="CreateCallback">
|
||||
Create a Callback Method that Provides Files
|
||||
</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Once you've verified that the device supports Android Beam file transfer, add a callback
|
||||
method that the system invokes when Android Beam file transfer detects that the user wants
|
||||
to send files to another NFC-enabled device. In this callback method, return an array of
|
||||
{@link android.net.Uri} objects. Android Beam file transfer copies the files represented by
|
||||
these URIs to the receiving device.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To add the callback method, implement the
|
||||
{@link android.nfc.NfcAdapter.CreateBeamUrisCallback} interface and its method
|
||||
{@link android.nfc.NfcAdapter.CreateBeamUrisCallback#createBeamUris createBeamUris()}. The
|
||||
following snippet shows you how to do this:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
|
||||
...
|
||||
// List of URIs to provide to Android Beam
|
||||
private Uri[] mFileUris = new Uri[10];
|
||||
...
|
||||
/**
|
||||
* Callback that Android Beam file transfer calls to get
|
||||
* files to share
|
||||
*/
|
||||
private class FileUriCallback implements
|
||||
NfcAdapter.CreateBeamUrisCallback {
|
||||
public FileUriCallback() {
|
||||
}
|
||||
/**
|
||||
* Create content URIs as needed to share with another device
|
||||
*/
|
||||
@Override
|
||||
public Uri[] createBeamUris(NfcEvent event) {
|
||||
return mFileUris;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Once you've implemented the interface, provide the callback to Android Beam file transfer by
|
||||
calling {@link android.nfc.NfcAdapter#setBeamPushUrisCallback setBeamPushUrisCallback()}. The
|
||||
following snippet shows you how to do this:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
|
||||
...
|
||||
// Instance that returns available files from this app
|
||||
private FileUriCallback mFileUriCallback;
|
||||
...
|
||||
@Override
|
||||
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
|
||||
...
|
||||
// Android Beam file transfer is available, continue
|
||||
...
|
||||
mNfcAdapter = NfcAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(this);
|
||||
/*
|
||||
* Instantiate a new FileUriCallback to handle requests for
|
||||
* URIs
|
||||
*/
|
||||
mFileUriCallback = new FileUriCallback();
|
||||
// Set the dynamic callback for URI requests.
|
||||
mNfcAdapter.setBeamPushUrisCallback(mFileUriCallback,this);
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="note">
|
||||
<strong>Note:</strong> You can also provide the array of {@link android.net.Uri} objects
|
||||
directly to the NFC framework through your app's {@link android.nfc.NfcAdapter} instance. Choose
|
||||
this approach if you can define the URIs to transfer before the NFC touch event occurs.
|
||||
To learn more about this approach, see {@link android.nfc.NfcAdapter#setBeamPushUris
|
||||
NfcAdapter.setBeamPushUris()}.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2 id="ProvideUri">Specify the Files to Send</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To transfer one or more files to another NFC-enabled device, get a file URI (a URI with a
|
||||
<code>file</code> scheme) for each file and then add the URI to an array of
|
||||
{@link android.net.Uri} objects. To transfer a file, you must also have permanent read access
|
||||
for the file. For example, the following snippet shows you how to get a file URI from a file
|
||||
name and then add the URI to the array:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
/*
