Attributes

Exceptions

if the tag leaves the field

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

Remarks

Authenticate a sector with key A.

Successful authentication of a sector with key A enables other I/O operations on that sector. The set of operations granted by key A key depends on the ACL bits set in that sector. For more information see the MIFARE Classic specification on http://www.nxp.com.

A failed authentication attempt causes an implicit reconnection to the tag, so authentication to other sectors will be lost.

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.
