I am trying to add the following block of code to an existing class
Class nfcExtrasClazz = Class.forName("com.android.nfc_extras.NfcAdapterExtras");
Method getMethod = nfcExtrasClazz .getMethod("get", Class.forName("android.nfc.NfcAdapter"));
NfcAdapter adapter = NfcAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(this);
Object nfcExtras = getMethod .invoke(nfcExtrasClazz, adapter);
Method getEEMethod = nfcExtras.getClass().getMethod("getEmbeddedExecutionEnvironment", (Class[]) null);
Object ee = getEEMethod.invoke(nfcExtras , (Object[]) null);
Class eeClazz = se.getClass();
Method openMethod = eeClazz.getMethod("open", (Class[]) null);
Method transceiveMethod = ee.getClass().getMethod("transceive",new Class[] { byte[].class });
Method closeMethod = eeClazz.getMethod("close", (Class[]) null);
openMethod.invoke(se, (Object[]) null);
Object response = transceiveMethod.invoke(se, command);
closeMethod.invoke(se, (Object[]) null);
I realized that I need to put this code in another thread. So I got a hold of an existing local service implementation, and tried to add the above code to it. But within the service implementation code I get the following error: "The method getDefaultAdapter(Context) in the type NfcAdapter is not applicable for the arguments (BackgroundService.ServiceWorker)" There are two classes in the package; one is the main: public class MainActivity extends Activity { private static final String TAG = "MainActivity"; private int counter = 1; private NfcAdapter adapter;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
public void doClick(View view) {
switch(view.getId()) {
case R.id.startBtn:
Log.v(TAG, "Starting service... counter = " + counter);
adapter = NfcAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(this);
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this,
BackgroundService.class);
intent.putExtra("counter", counter++);
startService(intent);
break;
case R.id.stopBtn:
stopService();
}
}
private void stopService() {
Log.v(TAG, "Stopping service...");
if(stopService(new Intent(MainActivity.this,
BackgroundService.class)))
Log.v(TAG, "stopService was successful");
else
Log.v(TAG, "stopService was unsuccessful");
}
@Override
public void onDestroy()
{
stopService();
super.onDestroy();
}
}
And here is the class that implements the local service: public class BackgroundService extends Service { private static final String TAG = "BackgroundService"; private NotificationManager notificationMgr; private NfcAdapter adapter; private ThreadGroup myThreads = new ThreadGroup("ServiceWorker");
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Log.v(TAG, "in onCreate()");
notificationMgr =(NotificationManager)getSystemService(
NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
displayNotificationMessage("Background Service is running");
}
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
int counter = intent.getExtras().getInt("counter");
Log.v(TAG, "in onStartCommand(), counter = " + counter +
", startId = " + startId);
new Thread(myThreads, new ServiceWorker(counter), "BackgroundService")
.start();
return START_NOT_STICKY;
}
class ServiceWorker implements Runnable
{
private int counter = -1;
public ServiceWorker(int counter) {
this.counter = counter;
}
public void run() {
final String TAG2 = "ServiceWorker:" + Thread.currentThread().getId();
// do background processing here...
try {
Log.v(TAG2, "sleeping for 10 seconds. counter = " + counter);
Thread.sleep(10000);

I think I am not adding the nfcadapter instance from my main activity to the service perhaps? Could someone please have a look?
