Ndef.MakeReadOnly Method

Definition

Make a tag read-only.

[Android.Runtime.Register("makeReadOnly", "()Z", "")]
public bool MakeReadOnly ();
[<Android.Runtime.Register("makeReadOnly", "()Z", "")>]
member this.MakeReadOnly : unit -> bool

Returns

true on success, false if it is not possible to make this tag read-only

Attributes

Exceptions

if the tag leaves the field

if there is an I/O failure, or the operation is canceled

Remarks

Make a tag read-only.

This sets the CC field to indicate the tag is read-only, and where possible permanently sets the lock bits to prevent any further modification of the memory.

This is a one-way process and cannot be reverted!

This is an I/O operation and will block until complete. It must not be called from the main application thread. A blocked call will be canceled with IOException if #close is called from another thread.

<p class="note">Requires the android.Manifest.permission#NFC permission.
