android nfc type,Android NFC read from tag type: IsoDep and NfcB

I am very new to Android development and NFC in general.

I am trying to build an application to read the content of an NFC card where I don't know anything about this card (bus card), I want to see for example how many tickets I have left.

I have scanned the card with variety of NFC applications and know that this card is of type: IsoDep AND NfcB.

Right now I am trying to read its content using IsoDep with no success (errors 6A82, 91AE, 6E00 and so on).

I have an app that waiting for new intent of type ACTION_NDEF_DISCOVERED || ACTION_TECH_DISCOVERED || ACTION_TAG_DISCOVERED opens a new thread (since it is not possible to read and connect on UI's thread) and I am trying to read the content of the card.

I guess my problem is with the bytes I am passing to isoDep.transceive(NATIVE_SELECT_APP_COMMAND).

Should I keep trying on the IsoDep or should I move to try on the NfcB?

Do you guys have any tips?

here is my code sample:

final byte[] SELECT = {

(byte) 0x00, // CLA Class

(byte) 0xA4, // INS Instruction

(byte) 0x04, // P1 Parameter 1

(byte) 0x00, // P2 Parameter 2

(byte) 0x08, // Length

(byte) 0x31, (byte)0x54, (byte)0x49, (byte)0x43, (byte)0x2e,

(byte) 0x49, (byte)0x43, (byte)0x41, // AID 315449432e494341

};

Tag tagFromIntent = m_intent.getParcelableExtra(NfcAdapter.EXTRA_TAG);

IsoDep isoDep = IsoDep.get(tagFromIntent);

try {

isoDep.connect();

byte[] result = isoDep.transceive(SELECT);

String str = bytesToHex(result);

Log.i("test", "SELECT: " + str);

isoDep.close();

} catch (Exception e) {

String error = e.getMessage();

}

my bytes to hex function:

final protected static char[] hexArray = "0123456789ABCDEF".toCharArray();

public static String bytesToHex(byte[] bytes) {

char[] hexChars = new char[bytes.length * 2];

for ( int j = 0; j < bytes.length; j++ ) {

int v = bytes[j] & 0xFF;

hexChars[j * 2] = hexArray[v >>> 4];

hexChars[j * 2 + 1] = hexArray[v & 0x0F];

}

return new String(hexChars);

}

=============================================================

Edit:

I have just learned that this card is using Calypso authentication scheme.

In this question's answer helped me a little: Read data from NFC tag (IsoDep)

I found a good SELECT function, i have edited my question to hold the new "SELECT" command which is working- In return i get this string: "6F228408315449432E494341A516BF0C13C70800000000029780A55307060A07062004019000" which i have no idea what it means.

Then I use this command to try and read a string:

byte[] GET_STRING = {

(byte) 0x80, // CLA Class

0x04, // INS Instruction

0x00, // P1 Parameter 1

0x00, // P2 Parameter 2

0x10 // LE maximal number of bytes expected in result

};

But i get error: 6E00, any ideas on how to proceed?
