Ok so I want to introduce NFC Tags to my Stock items, everythings already logged and working in access so i just maybe need an app to read and write nfc on a mobile device and pass code to access through a bluetooth link to my laptop, then i can assign it to a record in my database.

I want to scan the nfc tags with my mobile so it needs to talk to my database...is this possible and where the best place to start?

Or maybe there is a betterway?

Thanks in advance
 
Thinking.........maybe an android database app with limited functionality that i can sync to my access db...for full functionality
need to store: id,date, location, owner and picture of certificate.on Nfc device maybe....
 
Enjoying the conversation with yourself? I would help you out, but i dont even know what a NFC tag is...!
 
If you are dealing with remote connectivity via smartphone, NEVER do anything less than form a transaction record that you can then apply to your master DB once you load it. Don't ask the phone to do the actual update. Send the record - perhaps as a file on its own - and have some code in the main DB that knows to read transaction files and apply them. If you are sending a picture as data to be filed, fine. If you are sending a picture of a certificate as some kind of authentication method, you might want to pick something that won't be quite so difficult to process.
 
but i dont even know what a NFC tag is
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a set of short-range wireless technologies, typically requiring a distance of 4 cm or less to initiate a connection.
At the back of every Android phone, there's a NFC reader/writer. Using this kit, you can pay or do anything you want by only touching the back of your phone to a NFC tag.

You can send/receive images, documents, photos, videos or anything else from one android to another only by touching their back sides.

I have put a tag at the entrance of my home and my office. And have programmed the tag to change some settings of my phone. So when I get home, only by touching my phone to the NFC tag, it sets my alarm to on, WIFI on, cancels silent mode. vibrator off, my social and and instant messaging apps go to sleep, and several other things.
When I come out of home, it sets everything back to what it's programmed. Goes to silent mode (because I use train to go to my job), turns off WIFI, (I don't trust free wifi), turns off night mode (I can't see good in daylight),......

I also can ride train, bus, Taxi without paying by only touching my phone to their NFC tag, purchase from any shop without using cash, send money to someone, collect points when shopping, Or even use my points for shopping. Anything that you can imagine of.
The transmission between two devices using NFC is 847 kbps.

2 types of NFC tags with double sided tape at the backside.

Edit : It seems that recent iPhones come with NFC too. For a long time, it was an Android thing and something that Android users had used to laugh at iphone users.
