 Once the installer has completed, you can skip to the [Setup Rhodes section](#setup-rhodes).
 
+## Java Development Kit
+
+You need to have the Java Development Kit (JDK) installed.
+
+If you are planning to build for Blackberry or Android, make sure you have JDK version 1.6.0_2 or higher installed. The recommended version is 6.0 update 11.
+
+For Macintosh, JDK version 1.6.0_24 for Mac OSX 10.6 is available [here](http://support.apple.com/downloads/DL1360/en_US/JavaForMacOSX10.6Update4.dmg). Install it and then run "Java Preferences" utility to change default version.
+
+The Sun JDK for Windows or Linux is available [here](http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp). The 32-bit Windows version of the JDK is required for Blackberry tools. 
+
+You will want to have your JAVA_HOME variable set; have JAVA_HOME/bin set on your path.
+
 ## Rhodes Gem
 To install the Rhodes gem, you will need the following tools installed:
 
 * [Ruby](http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/) (On Windows, [RubyInstaller](http://rubyinstaller.org) is a convenient way to install Ruby)
 * [RubyGems](http://docs.rubygems.org/) (RubyGems offers a .tgz, a .zip, and a .gem download. You want the .zip.)
 
-NOTE: Windows doesn't come with the necessary build tools to install gems ('make', for example). There are various ways to get these tools, but the [GnuWin32](http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/) project provides the tools, and can be conveniently installed via the [GetGnuWin32](http://sourceforge.net/projects/getgnuwin32/files/) installer.

-# NFC
+# NFC Developer Guide
 
-## NFC Overview
-NFC (Near Field Communication). NFC API provide access to NFC functionality. You can check NFC availability on current device and register callback for listen event when NFC tag near of device. Currently NFC supported only on Android. And also Android version must be 2.3.3 or later.
-NFC API implemented in native extension. You should add "nfc" to extension list in your nuild.yml before start using NFC in your application. And also do not forget enable NFC for start process NFC events - Rho::NFCManager.enable.
-NFC Ruby API based on Android NFC API. We recommended investigate Android doc for understand NFC Techs etc. See [Android NFC](http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/nfc/index.html)
+The Near Field Communications (NFC) API allows you to use NFC functionality in your Rhodes application. With the NFC API, you can check to see if the mobile device supports NFC, and if so, have it listen for an NFC tag and register a callback if it finds one. You can also have your device push out an NFC tag. 
 
-NOTE: Before start using of NFC functionality, do not forget check current platform for supporting of NFC ! Use this :   Rho::NFCManager.is_supported
+Example Code
+-----------
+Example code for NFC is located here.
 
-## NFC events
-There are two different NFC callback can be received (you should setup callbacks before!) :
-* NFC callback : it executed when Android ACTION_NDEF_DISCOVERED or ACTION_TAG_DISCOVERED events processed.
-* NFC Tech callback : it executed when Android ACTION_TECH_DISCOVERED event processed.
-In case of current state of NFC support in Android you can receive NFC callback only if your application in foreground. If your application is not run or in background - only ACTION_TECH_DISCOVERED is processed. 
-For process ACTION_TECH_DISCOVERED event you should setup list of techs in special resource file : [Rhodes ROOT]/lib/extensions/nfc/ext/nfc/platform/android/additional_files/res/xml/filter_nfc.xml. See according Android documentation - [Android ACTION_TECH_DISCOVERED description](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/nfc/NfcAdapter.html#ACTION_TECH_DISCOVERED)
-For processing events received when application not run or in background, after start/activate use special method of NfcManager :

+ * [Rhodes System API Samples: NFC](https://github.com/rhomobile/rhodes-system-api-samples/tree/master/app/Nfc)
+
+## Generating a Container Model for NFC
+
+To create a Rhodes NFC application, you generate a Rhodes application, then you generate an NFC model in that application. Note that the model attributes are stubs in this case; you might not use the model attribute code that is generated.
+
+	:::term
+	$ rhodes app nfc
+	
+	$ (the command line now shows the app being generated)
+	
+	$ cd nfc
+	$ rhodes model stub1 stub2
+
+## Setting up build.yml
+
+NFC is currently supported only on the Android platform, OS version 2.3.3 or later. You must edit the Android section in your build.yml file for NFC. The version must be 2.3.3 or later, and NFC must be in the extension list.
+
+	:::text
+	android:
+	  version: 2.3.3
+	  extensions:
+	  - nfc
+
+## Enabling NFC on the Mobile Device
+
+Before you can send or receive NFC tags on your NFC-capable mobile device, you must enable NFC on the device with the method NFCManager.enable. Also, when your application is in the background, you should enable it to receive NFC tag messages with the method NFCManager.perform_open_application_event.
+
+Rhodes has a hook called on_activate_app that is called every time an application using this hook launches, and when that application comes in from the background. You can call this hook in app/application.rb.
+
+	:::ruby
+	def on_activate_app
+	  # enable NFC on your NFC-capable mobile device
+	  Rho::NFCManager.enable
+	  
+	  # Set the method to call for nfc callback
+	  Rho::NFCManager.set_nfc_callback("/app/Nfc/nfc_callback")
+	  
+	  # Enable listening for events when the application is in the background
+	  Rho::NFCManager.perform_open_application_event
+	end
+
+You can use the method NFCManager.is_supported to see if NFC is supported on your mobile device, and the method NFCManager.is_enabled to see if NFC has been enabled. The method NFCManager.disable disables NFC on your mobile device.
+
+## Setting NFC Callback Methods
+
+If your method is going to read or write NFC tags, it also needs to set the callback methods that process the NFC tag. The NFCManager.set_nfc_tech_callback is for reading and writing NFC tags (when the Android ACTION_TECH_DISCOVERED event is processed). NFCManager.set_nfc_callback is for peer-to-peer communication (when the Android ACTION_NDEF_DISCOVERED or ACTION_TAG_DISCOVERED events are processed).
+
+For NFCManager.set_nfc_tech_callback (the Android ACTION_TECH_DISCOVERED event), set up your list of techs in a resource file : [Rhodes ROOT]/lib/extensions/nfc/ext/nfc/platform/android/additional_files/res/xml/filter_nfc.xml. Refet to the Android documentation - [Android ACTION_TECH_DISCOVERED description](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/nfc/NfcAdapter.html#ACTION_TECH_DISCOVERED). Here is an example.
+
+	:::xml
+	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
+	<resources xmlns:xliff="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2">
+	  <!-- capture all MIFARE Classics with NDEF payloads -->
+	  <tech-list>
+	    <tech>android.nfc.tech.MifareClassic</tech>
+	    <tech>android.nfc.tech.Ndef</tech>
+	  </tech-list>
+	</resources>
+
+You will write the callback methods in your NFC controller method to process your NFC tags: the example below points to the callback methods nfc_callback and nfc_tech_callback in the app/Nfc/nfc_controller.rb file. You can set the NFC callback methods in on_activate_app.
+
+	:::ruby
+	def on_activate_app
+	  # enable NFC on your NFC-capable mobile device
+	  Rho::NFCManager.enable
+	  
+	  # Set the method to call upon an nfc callback
+	  Rho::NFCManager.set_nfc_callback("/app/Nfc/nfc_callback")
+	  
+	  # Set the method to call upon an nfc tech callback
+	  Rho::NFCManager.set_nfc_tech_callback("/app/Nfc/nfc_tech_callback")
+	  
+	  # Enable listening for events when the application is in the background
+	  Rho::NFCManager.perform_open_application_event
+	end
+
+Callbacks can be simple. You could just have the callback method say that it received a tag:
+
+	:::ruby
+	def nfc_callback
+	  @log = "TAG received: #{Time.now.strftime('%H:%M:%S')}"
+      add_to_log(@log)
+	end
+
+But to read or write NFC message and records from the NFC tag, you first get the current tag, determine the type of tag, and connect to the tag.
+
+## Getting, Determining Type of, and Connecting to a Tag
+
+Before you read from or write to a tag, get the tag with the method NFCManager method get_current_Tag. Find out what tech the tag uses with the method NFCTag.get_tech; the tag techs are listed in the NFCTagTechnology class. In this example, the tag is Ndef tech. Connect to the tag with the method NFCTagTechnology.connect.
+
+	:::ruby
+	tag = Rho::NFCManager.get_current_Tag
+	ndef = tag.get_tech(Rho::NFCTagTechnology::NDEF)
+	  if ndef != nil
+	    ndef.connect
+	    # read or write the NFC tag
+	  end
+
+You can now read from or write to the NFC tag.
+
+## Reading an NFC Tag
+
+After you get a tag, determine its type, and connect to the tag, you can read from the tag.
+
+### Read the Tag Message and Get Its Records
+
+In this example, it is an Ndef tag, so use the NTagTechnology_Ndef.read_NdefMessage method (subclass of NFCTechnology) to read the message. Then get the records from that message: since this is an Ndef tag, use the NTagTechnology_Ndef.get_records method.
+
+	:::ruby
+	# read the ndef tag message and get the records from it.
+	msg = ndef.read_NdefMessage
+    records = msg.get_records
+
+### Iterate Through the Records and Hash Them
+
+Iterate through the records in the message (in the following example, the message has only one record). And since this is an Ndef record, use the NdefRecord method make_hash to make a hash of the record.
+
+	:::ruby
+    # iterate through the array of records and hash the record
+    # this example has only one tag, so the array has only one element
+    r_a = []
+    records.each do |record|
+      r_a << record.make_hash
+    end
+
+### Grab the Payload from the Hash
+
+In the case of the Ndef record, grab the payload from the hash with the payload_as_string part of the hash.
+
+	:::ruby
+    # assign to a variable and print it out
+    msg_hash = { 'records' => r_a }
+    puts "records after processing: #{msg_hash.inspect}"
+    # Assign the string payload from the hash to the result
+    result = "Tag Result: " + msg_hash['records'][0]['payload_as_string'] if msg_hash['records'].size > 0
+
+## Writing an NFC tag
+
+After you get a tag, determine its type, and connect to the tag, you can write to the tag.
+
+To write to an NFC tag, you fill the tag with a message that you create and load with payloads.
+
+### Creating a Message for the NFC tag
+
+For an Ndef record, you make payloads for the records in the message. You have several methods you can use to make the payload; the example here uses the NFCManager.make_payload_with_well_known_uri method. The NFC tag will contain the URL for Rhomobile.
+
+	:::ruby
+	payload = Rho::NFCManager.make_payload_with_well_known_uri(0, 'http://www.rhomobile.com')
+
+### Putting the Payload Into The Record
+
+For a Ndef record, make a hash and put the payload into it.
+
+	:::ruby
+    hash = { 'id' => [0], 'type' => Rho::NdefRecord::RTD_URI, 'tnf' => Rho::NdefRecord::TNF_WELL_KNOWN, 'payload' => payload}
+
+### Making the Records, Put Records into an Array, Make a Message
+
+Then make a record from the hash with the NFCManager method make_NdefRecord_from_hash, put the record(s) into an array, and make a message from the array with the NFCManager method make_NdefMessage_from_array_of_NdefRecord(records).
+
+	:::ruby
+    record = Rho::NFCManager.make_NdefRecord_from_hash(hash)       
+    records = [record]        
+    msg = Rho::NFCManager.make_NdefMessage_from_array_of_NdefRecord(records)
+
+### Writing the NFC Message
+
+Once an Ndef message is created, you can write it with the NFCTagTechnology_Ndef method write.
+
+	:::ruby
+	ndef.write_NdefMessage(msg)
+    puts ' finish write NdefMessage'
+
+## Closing the Connection to the Tag
+
+When you are done reading or writing to the NFC tag, close the connection to it with the NFCTagTechnology method close.
+
+	:::ruby
+    ndef.close
+
+For example, you can have the following code in your NFC controller method to process NFC tech callbacks. 
+
+	:::ruby
+	def nfc_tech_callback	
+	  # Get the current tag 
+	  tag = Rho::NFCManager.get_current_Tag
+	  # get the tag technology to find out how to process it; it is an ndef tag
+	  ndef = tag.get_tech(Rho::NFCTagTechnology::NDEF)
+	  if ndef != nil
+	    # connect to the ndef tag
+	    ndef.connect
+	    #... read from or write to the NFC tag
+	    ndef.close
+	  end
+	  #...
+	end
+
+## Pushing a Peer-to-Peer NFC Tag
+
+You can push an NFC tag to another NFC-enabled device with the NFCManager. p2p_enable_foreground_nde_push(msg) method.
+
+First, you need to make the payload for the message.
+
+	:::ruby
+	def start_nfc_push
+      puts "Sending #{@params['push'].inspect}..."
+      payload = Rho::NFCManager.make_payload_with_well_known_text("en", @params['push'])
+      #... more processing
+    end
+
+Then put the payload into the record. This is an Ndef example, so we make a hash, then use the NFCManager.make_NdefRecord_from_hash method to create the record.
+
+	:::ruby
+    hash = { 
+      'id' => [0], 
+      'type' => Rho::NdefRecord:: RTD_TEXT, 
+      'tnf' => Rho::NdefRecord::TNF_WELL_KNOWN, 
+      'payload' => payload
+    }
+    record = Rho::NFCManager.make_NdefRecord_from_hash(hash)
+
+Make the record array, then use the NFCManager. make_NdefMessage_from_array_of_NdefRecord(records) method to make the message from the record array.
+
+	:::ruby
+    records = [record]
+    msg = Rho::NFCManager.make_NdefMessage_from_array_of_NdefRecord(records)
+
+Now you can push the message with the NFCManager. p2p_enable_foreground_nde_push(msg) method.
+
+	:::ruby
+      # start push message
+	  Rho::NFCManager.p2p_enable_foreground_nde_push(msg)
+      @notice = "Started push."
+      render :action => :index
+	end
+
+And when you want to stop pushing the message, use the NFCManager. p2p_disable_foreground_nde_push method.
+
+	:::ruby
+	def stop_nfc_push
+      Rho::NFCManager.p2p_disable_foreground_nde_push
+      @notice = "Stopped push."
+      render :action => :index
+	end
+
+## NdefRecord Class API
+
+The NdefRecord class contains methods for getting data from NFC Ndef tag records.
+
+An Ndef record consists of a hash:
+
+	:::ruby
+	ID = 'id'
+	TNF = 'tnf'
+	TYPE = 'type'
+	PAYLOAD = 'payload'
+
+The Type Name Format (TNF part of the hash) is a 3-bit field that indicates how you interprete the type field (TYPE). Here is a list of the TNF values.
+
+	:::ruby
+	TNF_ABSOLUTE_URI = 3
+	TNF_EMPTY = 0
+	TNF_EXTERNAL_TYPE = 4
+	TNF_MIME_MEDIA = 2
+	TNF_UNCHANGED = 6
+	TNF_UNKNOWN = 5
+	TNF_WELL_KNOWN = 1
+
+The RTD text type (TYPE part of the hash) is used with the TNF_WELL_KNOWN value.
+
+	:::ruby
+	RTD_TEXT = [0x54]   # "T"
+	RTD_URI = [0x55] # "U"
+	RTD_SMART_POSTER = [0x53, 0x70] # "Sp"
+	RTD_ALTERNATIVE_CARRIER = [0x61, 0x63]   # "ac"
+	RTD_HANDOVER_CARRIER = [0x48, 0x63] # "Hc"
+	RTD_HANDOVER_REQUEST = [0x48, 0x72] # "Hr"
+	RTD_HANDOVER_SELECT = [0x48, 0x73] # "Hs"
+
+Here is some code that creates a hash for an NdefRecord, which will be part of an NFCMessage to be pushed to an NFC-capable mobile device.
+
+	:::ruby
+	hash = { 'id' => [0], 'type' => Rho::NdefRecord::RTD_URI, 'tnf' => Rho::NdefRecord::TNF_WELL_KNOWN, 'payload' => payload}
+
+### NdefRecord get methods
+
+You can extract data from an Ndef record with the following methods:
+
+	:::ruby
+	get_id                   # returns byte[] 
+	get_tnf                  # return int
+	get_type                 # returns byte[]
+	get_payload              # returns byte[]
+	get_payload_as_string    # returns string
+	get_byte_array           # returns byte[]
+
+Example:
+
+	:::ruby
+    ndef = tag.get_tech(Rho::NFCTagTechnology::NDEF)
+    if ndef != nil
+      ndef.connect
+	  type = ndef.get_type
+	  #...
+	end
+
+### NdefRecord.make_hash
+
+The make_hash method returns a hash from an Ndef record, from which you can then extract data with the NdefRecord get methods.
+
+#### Returns
+
+A hash of the following format:
+
+ * 'id' - byte[]
+ * 'tnf' - int
+ * 'type' - byte[]
+ * 'payload' - byte[]
+ * 'payload_as_string' - string
+
+#### Parameters
+
+None.
+
+#### Example
+
+This example steps through a records array, makes a hash of each record, and puts the hash into an array.
+
+	:::ruby
+	r_a = []
+    i = 0
+	while i < records.size do
+      r_a << records[i].make_hash 
+      i = i+1
+    end
+
+### NdefRecord.convert_Tnf_to_string(int)
+
+Converts the int value of tnf from an Ndef record hash to a string.
+

+This method returns true if the mobile device has been enabled for NFC, false otherwise.
+
+#### Returns
+
+True or false.
+
+#### Parameters
+
+None.
 
-In Tech callback access to Techs by get current Tag and request tech list/tech suport objects like this :
+#### Example
 
 	:::ruby
-	tag = Rho::NFCManager.get_current_Tag
-	mifareClassic = tag.get_tech(Rho::NFCTagTechnology::MIFARE_CLASSIC)
-	if mifareClassic != nil
-	     puts 'MifareClassic is supported !'
-	     mifareClassic.connect
+	def do_enable
+	  Rho::NFCManager.enable
+	  $status = Rho::NFCManager.is_enabled.to_s
+	  set_status($status)    
+	end
+
+### NFCManager.set_nfc_callback(string), NFCManager.set_nfc_tech_callback(string)
+
+The set_nfc_callback method tells your application what callback to perform when it receives an NFC tag and your application is in the foreground. set_nfc_callback executes when the Android events ACTION_NDEF_DISCOVERED or ACTION_TAG_DISCOVERED are processed.
+
+The set_nfc_tech_callback method tells your application what callback to perform when it receives an NFC tag and your application is in the background. The set_nfc_tech_callback method executes when the Android event ACTION_TECH_DISCOVERED is processed.
+
+#### Returns
+
+None.
+
+### Parameters
 
-## NdefMessage NdefRecord
+string - url. The path to the method in the NFC controller that is executed on NFC callback.
 
-NFC Message contain list of NdefRecord. You can read/write NdefMessage when you access to Tag via Ndef/NdefFormatable techs. Also you should send NdefMessage when you use P2P NFC functionality.
-Example of construct NdefMessage for P2P send:
+### Example:
 
 	:::ruby
-	payload = Rho::NFCManager.make_payload_with_well_known_uri(0, 'http://www.rhomobile.com')
-	hash = { 'id' => [0], 'type' => Rho::NdefRecord::RTD_URI, 'tnf' => Rho::NdefRecord::TNF_WELL_KNOWN, 'payload' => payload}
-	record = Rho::NFCManager.make_NdefRecord_from_hash(hash)
-	records = [record]
-	msg = Rho::NFCManager.make_NdefMessage_from_array_of_NdefRecord(records)
-	# start push message
-	Rho::NFCManager.p2p_enable_foreground_nde_push(msg)
-	
+	def on_activate_app
+      Rho::NFCManager.enable
+      
+      # Perform the nfc_callback or nfc_tech_callback method in 
+      #   nfc_controller.rb on nfc callback
+      Rho::NFCManager.set_nfc_callback("/app/Nfc/nfc_callback")
+      Rho::NFCManager.set_nfc_tech_callback("/app/Nfc/nfc_tech_callback")
+    
+      Rho::NFCManager.perform_open_application_event
+	end
+
+### NFCManager.get_current_Tag
+
+This method returns the current NFCTag that the mobile device has just read, or returns nil if no tag has been discovered. 
+
+#### Returns
+
+NFCTag. An NFC tag.

+
+The make_NdefMessage_from_byte_array method creates an NFC tag message (NdefMessage) from a byte array.
+
+#### Returns
+
+A NFC message (NdefMessage).
+
+#### Parameters
+
+array - a byte array containing a raw NFC message.
+
+### NFCManager.make_NdefMessage_from_array_of_NdefRecord(array)
+
+The make_NdefMessage_from_byte_array method creates an NFC tag message (NdefMessage) from an array of records (NdefRecord, such as what you get from make_NdefRecord_from_hash).
+
+#### Returns
+
+An NFC message (NdefMessage).
+
+#### Parameters
+
+array - an array of records (NdefRecord).
+
+#### Example
+
+	:::ruby
+	def do_p2p_enable
+	  # prepare an NdefMessage for sending to another device
+	  payload = Rho::NFCManager.make_payload_with_well_known_uri(0, 'http://www.rhomobile.com')
+	  # Create a hash -- id, tnf, type, payload -- for an NFC record
+	  hash = { 'id' => [0], 'type' => Rho::NdefRecord::RTD_URI, 'tnf' => Rho::NdefRecord::TNF_WELL_KNOWN, 'payload' => payload}
+	  # Create the NFC record with that hash
+	  record = Rho::NFCManager.make_NdefRecord_from_hash(hash)
+	  records = [record]
+	  # Create the NdefMessage from the NdefRecord (just one record in array)
+	  msg = Rho::NFCManager.make_NdefMessage_from_array_of_NdefRecord(records)
+	  # start push message
+	  Rho::NFCManager.p2p_enable_foreground_nde_push(msg)
+	  add_to_log('Enable PUSH P2P')
+	  set_log($log)

+#### Returns
+
+A byte array for an NFC record payload.
+
+#### Parameters
+
+uri_string - a string containing an absolute URI.
+
+#### Example
+
+	:::ruby
+	payload = Rho::NFCManager.make_payload_with_absolute_uri('http://www.rhomobile.com')
+
+### NFCManager.make_payload_with_well_known_uri(prefix_code, uri_string)
+
+The make_payload_with_absolute_uri method prepares a byte array for an NFC record payload from a string with an absolute URI.
+
+#### Returns

+	def do_p2p_enable
+	  # prepare an NdefMessage for sending to another device
+	  payload = Rho::NFCManager.make_payload_with_well_known_uri(0, 'http://www.rhomobile.com')
+	  # Create a hash -- id, tnf, type, payload -- for an NFC record
+	  hash = { 'id' => [0], 'type' => Rho::NdefRecord::RTD_URI, 'tnf' => Rho::NdefRecord::TNF_WELL_KNOWN, 'payload' => payload}
+	  # Create the NFC record with that hash
+	  record = Rho::NFCManager.make_NdefRecord_from_hash(hash)
+	  records = [record]
+	  # Create the NdefMessage from the NdefRecord (just one record in array)
+	  msg = Rho::NFCManager.make_NdefMessage_from_array_of_NdefRecord(records)
+	  # start push message
+	  Rho::NFCManager.p2p_enable_foreground_nde_push(msg)
+	  add_to_log('Enable PUSH P2P')
