前言

最近没怎么写东西了，主要是在了解Beam这个东东。这方面的教程真的非常有限，找了不少资料目前还没看到一篇能够让一个新手看一遍就知道实现一个Beam功能都需要那些步骤的。而且，都是用的官方的例子，稍加注释。偶尔找到一些高手写的文章，奈何水平有限看的云里雾里的。没办法，只好去复习官方文档。

都说现在Android方面的书没有什么很好的。我的体会是，书讲的都很全面，力求把每个方面都介绍一遍。这样带来的缺点是知识太浅，不够灵活。不过，想想书名也便释然了——“××Android 入门基础×× ”再加一些修饰词。唉～，入门～

正文：

好了进入正题。看官方文档有些吃力，主要都是英文的，概念方面还有不足。但是坚持看下来还是有很大的收获的。

先摘取一部分官方文档：

Beaming NDEF Messages to Other Devices

---

Android Beam allows simple peer-to-peer data exchange between two Android-powered devices. The application that wants to beam data to another device must be in the foreground and the device receiving the data must not be locked. When the beaming device comes in close enough contact with a receiving device, the beaming device displays the "Touch to Beam" UI. The user can then choose whether or not to beam the message to the receiving device.

Note: Foreground NDEF pushing was available at API level 10, which provides similar functionality to Android Beam. These APIs have since been deprecated, but are available to support older devices. SeeenableForegroundNdefPush() for more information.

You can enable Android Beam for your application by calling one of the two methods:

• setNdefPushMessage(): Accepts an NdefMessage to set as the message to beam. Automatically beams the message when two devices are in close enough proximity.
• setNdefPushMessageCallback(): Accepts a callback that contains a createNdefMessage() which is called when a device is in range to beam data to. The callback lets you create the NDEF message only when necessary.

An activity can only push one NDEF message at a time, so setNdefPushMessageCallback() takes precedence over setNdefPushMessage() if both are set. To use Android Beam, the following general guidelines must be met:

• The activity that is beaming the data must be in the foreground. Both devices must have their screens unlocked.
• You must encapsulate the data that you are beaming in an NdefMessage object.
• The NFC device that is receiving the beamed data must support the com.android.npp NDEF push protocol or NFC Forum's SNEP (Simple NDEF Exchange Protocol). The com.android.npp protocol is required for devices on API level 9 (Android 2.3) to API level 13 (Android 3.2). com.android.npp and SNEP are both required on API level 14 (Android 4.0) and later.

Note: If your activity enables Android Beam and is in the foreground, the standard intent dispatch system is disabled. However, if your activity also enables foreground dispatching, then it can still scan tags that match the intent filters set in the foreground dispatching.

To enable Android Beam:

1. Create an NdefMessage that contains the NdefRecords that you want to push onto the other device.
2. Call setNdefPushMessage() with a NdefMessage or call setNdefPushMessageCallback passing in aNfcAdapter.CreateNdefMessageCallback object in the onCreate() method of your activity. These methods require at least one activity that you want to enable with Android Beam, along with an optional list of other activities to activate.

   In general, you normally use setNdefPushMessage() if your Activity only needs to push the same NDEF message at all times, when two devices are in range to communicate. You usesetNdefPushMessageCallback when your application cares about the current context of the application and wants to push an NDEF message depending on what the user is doing in your application.

主要是理解上面这部分东西，多看即便会有不一样的感觉。

下面是我按照官方的例子调试出来的一篇Beam代码，功能和官方的一样。我还在完善，先贴出来，以后更新。

		}

		// 注册回调函数

		mNfcAdapter.setNdefPushMessageCallback(this, this);

	}

	// 发送消息-------------------------------------------------------------------------

	// 这是CreateNdefMessageCallback中需要实现的方法

	@Override

	public NdefMessage createNdefMessage(NfcEvent event) {

		// TODO Auto-generated method stub

		// 获取文本框中的内容

		String text = mEditText.getText().toString();

		NdefMessage msg = new NdefMessage(new NdefRecord[] { createMimeRecord(

				"application/com.example.android.beam", text.getBytes()) });

		return msg;

	}

	public NdefRecord createMimeRecord(String mimeType, byte[] payload) {

		byte[] mimeBytes = mimeType.getBytes(Charset.forName("US-ASCII"));

		NdefRecord mimeRecord = new NdefRecord(NdefRecord.TNF_MIME_MEDIA,

				mimeBytes, new byte[0], payload);

		return mimeRecord;

	}

	// 消息发送完成的处理------------------------------------------------

         //------------不是主要功能，官方例子里面有，我给去掉了----------------待实现……

	// 处理接收的消息----------------------------------------------------------------------

	// 第一步，接收Intent

	@Override

	protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {

		// super.onNewIntent(intent);

		setIntent(intent);

	}

	// 第二步，判断Intent

	@Override

	protected void onResume() {

		// TODO Auto-generated method stub

		super.onResume();

		if (NfcAdapter.ACTION_NDEF_DISCOVERED.equals(getIntent().getAction())) {

			processIntent(getIntent());

		}

	}

	// 第三步。处理Intent

	void processIntent(Intent intent) {

		Parcelable[] rawMsgs = intent

				.getParcelableArrayExtra(NfcAdapter.EXTRA_NDEF_MESSAGES);

		// only one message sent during the beam

		NdefMessage msg = (NdefMessage) rawMsgs[0];

		// record 0 contains the MIME type, record 1 is the AAR, if present

		mEditText.setText(new String(msg.getRecords()[0].getPayload()));

	}

}

上面这是Beam实现的主代码，运行起来还需要一些其它的配置。

其实初步理解后发现，beam也没有想像中来的麻烦。
