Custom Card Read

Follow these steps to perform a custom card read.
  1. Retrieve the
    ReadCardIntent
     value from the
    mposUi
     object and use the
    startActivity
     method to initiate the card read flow.
    val ReadCardIntent = mposUi.createReadCardIntent()
startActivityForResult(ReadCardIntent, MposUi.REQUEST_CODE_READ_CARD)
  2. After the card read activity is completed, the
    onActivityResult
     method is triggered. This action returns information about the status of the card read activity and the card details.
    override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) 
{
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
 
    if (requestCode == MposUi.REQUEST_CODE_READ_CARD) {
        when (resultCode) {
            // Result code from a successful card read
            MposUi.RESULT_CODE_READ_CARD_SUCCESS -> {
               Toast.makeText(findViewById(android.R.id.content), "Card read successful", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
            }
            // Result code from a failed card read
            MposUi.RESULT_CODE_READ_CARD_FAILED -> {
               Toast.makeText(findViewById(android.R.id.content), "Card read failed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
            }
        }
    }
}
