Help on Using Cordova/Phonegap or Ionic with Smart Card (Java Card)

[Akinsanya Olanrewaju]

Good day,

I have a project on building mobile app that read and write data to a smart card (java card), in form of text as a storage using a USB connector to an android mobile phone to communicate with the card.

But i know Ionic (cordova/ Javascript) does not have a plugin to read/write with smart card My research show that it can only be done with java, But i do not want to design the app from ground up using a native language cos i have loved working with ionic - cordova.

My Question, Is it possible to to write a service in java that will communicate with the smart card and return the value in json back to be used in javascript, Please i need help on this.

i need a help on ways to make this work, i dont want to believe that it is not possible, i need a resources, technic, materials that i can use to make this possible.

Thanks

You have to create a plugin

FORTH, Inc. did early work on smart cards for Europay. Not sure if they would provide outside programming services for your project, but you can ask via http://www.forth.com -- best wishes for you!

Hi Akinsaya,

Did you finally find/code a Cordova plugin for smart card readers?

I'm in the need of such a thing too.

Best regards,
