Detailed Description#

QNearFieldTarget provides a generic interface for communicating with an NFC target device. Both NFC Forum devices and NFC Forum Tag targets are supported by this class. All target specific classes subclass this class.

The type() function can be used to get the type of the target device. The uid() function returns the unique identifier of the target. The AccessMethods flags returns from the accessMethods() function can be tested to determine which access methods are supported by the target.

If the target supports NdefAccess , hasNdefMessage() can be called to test if the target has a stored NDEF message, readNdefMessages() and writeNdefMessages() functions can be used to get and set the NDEF message.

If the target supports TagTypeSpecificAccess , sendCommand() can be used to send a single proprietary command to the target and retrieve the response.

(inherits enum.Flag) This enum describes the access methods a near field target supports.

Constant

Description

QNearFieldTarget.UnknownAccess

The target supports an unknown access type.

QNearFieldTarget.NdefAccess

Constant	Description
QNearFieldTarget.UnknownAccess	The target supports an unknown access type.
QNearFieldTarget.NdefAccess	The target supports reading and writing NDEF messages using `readNdefMessages()` and `writeNdefMessages()` .
QNearFieldTarget.TagTypeSpecificAccess	The target supports sending tag type specific commands using `sendCommand()` .
QNearFieldTarget.AnyAccess	The target supports any of the known access types.

PySide6.QtNfc.QNearFieldTarget.accessMethods()#

Return type:: Combination of QNearFieldTarget.AccessMethod

Returns the access methods supported by this near field target.

PySide6.QtNfc.QNearFieldTarget.disconnect()#

Return type:: bool

Closes the connection to the target to enable communication with the target from a different instance. The connection will also be closed, when the QNearFieldTarget is destroyed. A connection to the target device is (re)created to process a command or read/write a NDEF messages.

Returns true only if an existing connection was successfully closed; otherwise returns false.

PySide6.QtNfc.QNearFieldTarget.disconnected()#

This signal is emitted when the near field target moves out of proximity.

PySide6.QtNfc.QNearFieldTarget.hasNdefMessage()#

Return type:: bool

Returns true if at least one NDEF message is stored on the near field target; otherwise returns false.

PySide6.QtNfc.QNearFieldTarget.maxCommandLength()#

Return type:: int

Returns the maximum number of bytes that can be sent with sendCommand . 0 will be returned if the target does not support sending tag type specific commands.

sendCommand()

PySide6.QtNfc.QNearFieldTarget.ndefMessageRead(message)#

Parameters:: message – PySide6.QtNfc.QNdefMessage

This signal is emitted when a complete NDEF message has been read from the target.

See also

readNdefMessages()

PySide6.QtNfc.QNearFieldTarget.type()#

Return type:: Type

Returns the type of tag type of this near field target.

PySide6.QtNfc.QNearFieldTarget.uid()#

Return type:: PySide6.QtCore.QByteArray

Returns the UID of the near field target.

Note

On iOS, this function returns an empty QByteArray for a near field target discovered using NdefAccess method.
