e-Passport NFC Reader

Android app that uses the NFC chip to communicate with an electronic passport.

The following string extras can be set to allow pre-filling of input fields:

• passportNumber - String
• dateOfExpiry - String in format YYYY-MM-DD
• dateOfBirth - String in format YYYY-MM-DD
• photoAsBase64 - Boolean indicating whether to return photo as base64 encoded image (default false)

Available data keys:

• firstName - String
• lastName - String
• gender - String
• state - String
• nationality - String
• photo - Bitmap (if photoAsBase64 is false)
• photoBase64 - String (if photoAsBase64 is true)

Usage example:

public class LoginActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    ...

    private void requestPassportData() {
        Intent intent = new Intent();
        intent.setAction("com.tananaev.passportreader.REQUEST");
        startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
    }

    ...

    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            String name = data.getStringExtra("firstName") + " " + data.getStringExtra("lastName");
            ...
        }
    }

    ...
