Note	Meaning
🆕	New in Metrodroid.
🔐	Encryption keys required to read this card.
🔓	Encryption keys are downloaded from the operator.
MFC	MIFARE Classic card; requires NXP NFC chipset in your phone.
123	Only the card number can be read.
FALLBACK	Fallback reader -- must be explicitly enabled in the application's settings.
KMT	Only new FeliCa-based cards can be read.
SINGLE	Only single-use tickets can be read.

This project will only read data from the card itself, without having to connect to the agency's back-office systems. In some cases, limited data is available, so balance information and trip history might not be available.

Note: The Leap card reader connects to Transport for Ireland's server for challenge-response authentication with the card. The data is otherwise interpreted locally, and connectivity is disabled by default.

Supported Phones

Metrodroid requires an Android phone running 4.1 or later, with NFC support.

Some devices do not support MIFARE Classic. MIFARE Classic is not an NFC-compliant card format, so can only be read with phones with NXP chipsets.

Building / hacking on this software

1. Clone the repository including submodules:

   $ git clone --recursive https://github.com/micolous/metrodroid.git
   

   If you get an error from Gradle about :nfc-felica-lib not being available, then your clone doesn't have the submodules.

2. Import the directory into Android Studio.

   Android Studio will prompt you to install the appropriate SDK version, build tools, and Gradle.
