UHF reader (on-device, SEUIC uhf.jar)

For devices with a built-in UHF RFID reader chip (not a broadcast-intent handheld trigger).

Required manual setup: uhf.jar

This package does not include the vendor SDK (uhf.jar, from SEUIC / your device vendor). It is intentionally excluded from both this repo and the published npm package, since its redistribution terms haven't been confirmed. Without it, RNUhfReceiverModule will fail to compile — you must add it yourself before building, every time you set this package up in a new location (fresh clone, fresh npm install, CI, a new machine, etc.).

Steps:

1. Get uhf.jar from SEUIC or your device vendor (it usually ships with the reader's SDK/dev kit).
2. Find where this package landed after npm install, e.g.: node_modules/react-native-mendix-rfid-receiver/android/libs/ (if installed locally via a Mendix widget's file: dependency, this is a symlink back to wherever this repo physically lives — copy the jar into the real folder, not the symlink target's parent.)
3. Manually copy uhf.jar into that android/libs/ folder, so the final path is: android/libs/uhf.jar
4. Verify it's there before building:
   • Windows (PowerShell): Test-Path node_modules/react-native-mendix-rfid-receiver/android/libs/uhf.jar
   • macOS/Linux: ls node_modules/react-native-mendix-rfid-receiver/android/libs/uhf.jar
5. Now run the native Android build (Gradle / Mendix native app build). android/build.gradle in this package references implementation files('libs/uhf.jar') — it will fail with a "file not found" style Gradle error if step 3 was skipped or the path is wrong.

If you're building the actual Mendix native mobile app (not just this widget/library): the npm-published version of this package will never have uhf.jar either, so a cloud native build (e.g. Mendix's MABS) that fetches dependencies from the public npm registry will fail the same way. For a real production build, keep a full local copy of this package — including your own uhf.jar — directly inside that Mendix app's own javascriptsource/nativemodule/react-native-mendix-rfid-receiver/ folder instead of relying on the public npm package, so the jar never needs to leave your own project.

import { UhfReader } from 'react-native-mendix-rfid-receiver';

const uhf = new UhfReader();

// Inventory scan (bulk read)
const sub = uhf.startInventory((tags) => {
	// tags: [{ epc, rssi, count }, ...]
}, { power: 23 });
uhf.stopInventory();
sub.remove();

// Find tag by signal strength (radar/locate)
const findSub = uhf.startFind("E2003411A301B000AB120000", (update) => {
	// update: { targetEpc, found, epc?, rssi?, count? }
}, { power: 23 });
uhf.stopFind();
findSub.remove();

// Write tag (EPC bank by default)
const result = await uhf.writeTag("E2003411A301B000AB120000", "1234567890ABCDEF", {
	bank: 1, address: 4, password: "00000000"
});
// result: { success, attempts }
