External NFC Card Reader with my App

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 24
Hi Experts,
 
I'm trying to get my NFC ACR1255U-J1 to work with my Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 2 either via USB or Bluetooth so that I can use it with my PowerApps app which I've created for our staff to clock in and clock out. 
 
I've downloaded the android USB driver to the tablet and if I open the Reader Test app then it picks up the reader fine but if I try and use it within PowerApps then it doesn't work, it just says Ready to Scan. The card reader beeps twice when I swipe my card but doesn't do anything. I have created a test PowerApps app with the below code in a button, can you help me to get the card reader working with PowerApps please? 
 
Set(nfcData, ReadNFC());
Set(tagID, Coalesce(nfcData.Identifier, "No ID"));
Set(tagValue, Coalesce(First(nfcData.NDEFRecords).Text, "No Data"));
 
Thanks in advance for any guidance
 
Dave
