Use the ReadCardRequestIntentBuilder class to build an Intent to initiate an activity to read a card. All cards are encrypted, except for:

Non-financial cards
Cards issued by the allowed list of bank identification numbers (BINs)

Steps

Build a read card request.

val context = this
val intent = ReadCardRequestIntentBuilder().build(context)c

context context = this;
Intent intent = new ReadCardRequestIntentBuilder().build(context);

Use the intent to initiate the process of the read card request.

CardOptions

The CardOptions class provides a static method to set the supported card entry methods optionally.

Method	Description
`Instance(cardEntryMethods : Set<CardEntryMethod>`	Optional. Set the `cardEntryMethods` flag to create a `CardOptions` instance. This step is optional and limits the card entry options to: CardReaders() Manual() All ()

Example—Set the card entry method for CardReaders

val builder =  ReadCardRequestIntentBuilder()
val cardOptions = ReadCardRequestIntentBuilder.CardOptions.Instance(CardEntryMethod.CardReaders())
val intent = builder.cardOptions(cardOptions).build(context)

ReadCardRequestIntentBuilder builder = new ReadCardRequestIntentBuilder();
ReadCardRequestIntentBuilder.CardOptions cardOptions = ReadCardRequestIntentBuilder.CardOptions.Instance(CardEntryMethod.CardReaders());
Intent intent = builder.cardOptions(cardOptions).build(context);

Response

When the read card flow completes, the response comes through onActivityResult().

For a successful request, retrieve the card details using the Intent: ReadCardRequestIntentBuilder.Response.CARD_DATA
For an unsuccessful request, retrieve the failure message using the Intent: ReadCardRequestIntentBuilder.Response.FAILURE_MESSAGE

Response example

fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
        if (requestCode == READ_CARD_REQUEST_CODE) {
            if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
                val cardDetails = data.getParcelableExtra<CardData>(ReadCardRequestIntentBuilder.Response.CARD_DATA)
                 
            } else {
                // read card failed, check for error
                val failureMessage = data.getStringExtra(Intents.EXTRA_FAILURE_MESSAGE)
            }
        }
    }

public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (requestCode == READ_CARD_REQUEST_CODE) {
      if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        CardData cardDetails = data.getParcelableExtra(ReadCardRequestIntentBuilder.Response.CARD_DATA);
      } else {
        // read card failed, check for error
        String failureMessage = data.getStringExtra(Intents.EXTRA_FAILURE_MESSAGE);
      }
    }
  }
