    <p>I'm new to Android coding, I'm interested in NFC technology. My first steps are focused on the Tag reading/write mode, currently I cannot see plenty of information on how to work with the Vcard/Vcal MIME types and NDEF Records/Messages. </p> <p>It would be nice if someone can post some example code or better to point to a tutorial-like resource!</p> <p>EDIT: This is a code that I've been using, it's messed up. With a few modifications I've been able to write plain text, and smart posters/urs data. Also to recall is that I'm using Type 2 NFC Tags, since the storage capacity is limited, I just want to save name &amp; phone number on Vcards, or event name &amp; date on Vcal records. Thanks!</p> <p>public class VcardActivity extends Activity {</p> <pre><code>NfcAdapter adapter; PendingIntent pendingIntent; IntentFilter writeTagFilters[]; Tag tag; Context ctx; boolean writeMode; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_text); getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true); ctx = this; Switch swWrite = (Switch) findViewById(R.id.switchWriteText); //final TextView msg = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.editText1); final String msg = "BEGIN:VCARD\n" + "VERSION:2.1\n" + "N:Gump;Forrest\n" + "FN:Forrest Gump\n" + "ORG:Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.\n" + "TITLE:Shrimp Man\n" + "TEL;WORK;VOICE111) 555-1212\n" + "TEL;HOME;VOICE404) 555-1212\n" + "ADR;WORK:;;100 Edge;Baytown;United\n" + "EMAIL;PREF;INTERNET:forrestgump@example.com\n " + "END:VCARD"; swWrite.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() { @Override public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) { if (isChecked) { try { if (tag == null) { Toast.makeText(ctx, ctx.getString(R.string.error_detected), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } else { write(msg, tag); Toast.makeText(ctx, ctx.getString(R.string.ok_writing), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } } catch (IOException e) { Toast.makeText(ctx, ctx.getString(R.string.error_writing), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); e.printStackTrace(); } catch (FormatException e) { Toast.makeText(ctx, ctx.getString(R.string.error_writing), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); e.printStackTrace(); } } } }); /* INTENT FILTER */ adapter = NfcAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(this); pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, new Intent(this, getClass()).addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP), 0); IntentFilter tagDetected = new IntentFilter( NfcAdapter.ACTION_TAG_DISCOVERED); tagDetected.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT); writeTagFilters = new IntentFilter[] { tagDetected }; } @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_text, menu); return true; } @Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) { switch (item.getItemId()) { case android.R.id.home: NavUtils.navigateUpFromSameTask(this); return true; } return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item); } private void write(String text, Tag tag) throws IOException, FormatException { NdefRecord[] records = { createRecord(text) }; NdefMessage message = new NdefMessage(records); // Get an instance of Ndef for the tag.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
