NFC Programming Help

Hi – I am trying to learn how to use NFC tags with my Galaxy S4. I bought some NXP tags and have used Trigger and Tagwriter to program the tags. I have been able to launch an app by tapping the tag, but would like to do more.

Specifically, I want to launch the app Road ID when I tap the NFC tag. This works with no problem, but what I would like it to do is launch the app, then when the app comes up to send an enter command to advance to the second screen, followed by another enter command to kick off the application. I have been unable to figure out how to program these multiple, sequential commands.

If someone could point me in the right direction on this, I sure would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance - Tom

Re: NFC Programming Help

Assuming the app has hooks for advancing pages, that's what you use, but it doesn't appear to be Tasker-aware, so you probably can't. It's like pressing the elevator button between 4 and 5 - it's not there, so you can't press it. An app has to be written to give you external access to a function for you to access it from outside the app.
