Works great. I notice that Samsung's built in app works on terminals without nfc though. It appears that this app requires that nfc be present to trigger it sending the card info. Would it be possible to add in a manual override to force the magnet part to transmit?

Is this app going to work with a VISA card that has a stripe AND a chip + PIN? I remember trying to swipe my card multiple times at a store and they would always tell me I had to use the chip instead. Also, is there any way to generate/extract the magstripe data from the card number and the three number on the back? That would save me from buying a $20 magstripe reader I would only use once or twice.

About this app

App that helps developers understand the new Android Host Card Emulation feature for payments. App allows you to enter your own magnetic stripe data from a Visa card and use it in an NFC payment protocol called Visa MSD. While Visa did not intend for card holders to use their data this way, the app will work with Visa cards from most banks. Visa MSD is a supported payment protocol by most NFC payment terminals in the United States and Canada.


To obtain the magnetic stripe data from your card, you will need a reader. In the US, they are available on both Amazon and Ebay for around $20 delivered. The inexpensive ones are USB devices that act as keyboard input, so no special drivers are needed on Windows or Mac OS X computers. While I'm sure there's more secure options, you can use an app like Google Keep or Docs to quickly transfer the swipe input to your phone and paste it into the app. The card data entered into the app is stored using Android's SharedPreference API in a way that is not accessible by other apps on a non-rooted phone.
