NFC Reader - Android new tag collected

đź’¬ Mobile

On Android devices, whenever an NFC tag gets close to the phone, we see the “New Tag Collected” popup. That often kicks us out of the Retool app flow if the user hasn’t already tapped a button to start scanning.

  1. High-Priority NFC Intent
    Can Retool Mobile be given a higher-priority NFC intent (like ACTION_TECH_DISCOVERED with foreground dispatch), so the system doesn’t show “New Tag Collected” and we aren’t forced out of our app?

  2. Auto-Reading NFC
    Is there a way for Retool Mobile to read NFC tags automatically, without the user pressing a button first, and then trigger a custom event or workflow? Having to press a button, wait for the “ready to scan” prompt, scan, and then dismiss the success message slows everything down.

Any tips on making the NFC experience more seamless in Retool would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @kyleteal,

Apologies for the trouble with NFC reading on android, let me ask our mobile eng team about this and hopefully we can get this resolved.
