GrabbaMagstripeAPI Class Reference

Description

Provides access to Grabba magnetic stripe (magstripe) reader functionality, such as triggering magstripe scans.

This API provides access to magstripe reader functions. Note, however, that magstripe reading is triggered by the scanner itself (not the driver), so this API is quite small.

Callbacks to user-provided code may be triggered in response to relevant events, e.g. successful read of a magstripe card. Refer to the GrabbaMagstripeListener class for the details of these callbacks and how to enable them.

Calls to this class will not succeed until a connection to a Grabba device has been established. Refer to the GrabbaCoreAPI class for details of how to establish or query this connection.

Note

This is a static class; object construction is unnecessary and consequently disabled. Subclassing is strongly discouraged.

Thread safety: This class is fully thread-safe.

Not callable (NS_UNAVAILABLE) since this is a static class.

supported()

+ (BOOL) supported

Query whether there is currently a connected Grabba device with magstripe functionality.
