How to Use the SDK¶

Adding the SDK¶

In your Android Studio project,
navigate to “app” → “libs”, right-click, and select “Open in Finder.”
In the Finder window that appears, open the “libs” folder,
and paste the asr-a3xd-sdk.aar file into this folder.
After pasting, you should see asr-a3xd-sdk.aar listed under “libs.”
Double-click “build.gradle (Module: app)” to open it.
Add the library to the dependencies section.
Then click “Sync Now” at the top of the screen to synchronize.
When synchronization succeeds, the following screen will appear.
SDK installation is now complete.

Using the SDK¶

Importing the Library¶

Use the import statement to include the library in your target class.

import jp.co.asterisk.asreader.a3xd.sdk.AsReaderSDK;

Initializing `AsReaderSDK`¶

AsReaderSDK asReaderSDK = AsReaderSDK.getInstance();

Implementing the `DeviceManagerCallback` Interface¶

Implement the DeviceManagerCallback interface.

// Example: Implementing DeviceManagerCallback in MainActivity
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements DeviceManagerCallback {

Set the callback listener.

AsReaderSDK.getInstance().getDeviceManager().setCallback(this);

Hover over the red underline (error indicator) and click “Implement methods.”
Select the methods you want to add and click OK.
The methods for DeviceManagerCallback will be automatically generated.

Initializing the SDK¶

Initialize the SDK.

AsReaderSDK.getInstance().initialize(context: this);

Power On¶

Turn on the AsReader device.

AsReaderSDK.getInstance()
    .getDeviceManager()
    .setPowerWithOption(
        power: true,
        beep: true,
        vib: true,
        led: true,
        aimer: true,
        PowerOnBeep: true
    );

Power Off¶

Turn off the AsReader device.

AsReaderSDK.getInstance()
    .getDeviceManager()
    .setPowerWithOption(
        power: false,
        beep: true,
        vib: true,
        led: true,
        aimer: true,
        PowerOnBeep: true
    );

Start Inventory¶

Connect to the AsReader and start inventory (reading) of RF tag data.
You can receive the inventory results via the onTagReceived interface.

AsReaderSDK.getInstance()
    .getRFIDManager()
    .startInventory(
        maxTags: 0,
        maxTime: 0,
        repeatCycle: 0
    );

@Override
public void onTagReceived(int[] dest) {
}

Stop Inventory¶

Stop the RF tag inventory process.

AsReaderSDK.getInstance().getRFIDManager().stopDecode();
