Writing multiple data types in NFC tags in a single tap



Is it possible to write more than one data type (like two urls or one url and one text) into a NFC tag from Android in a single tap?

  1. You can, but when you scan a tag, it can only have one data type that Android uses to determine what type of tag it is. This data type is determined by the first NDEF record in your NDEF message. Android assigns a MIME type or URI to this record so it can figure out which application is best to start to handle the tag. So, if you write a text record and URI on a tag, Android will think it is a plain text tag if that record is first, or a URI tag if that record is first. You can still read all the data as normal though.

  2. Yes, if you are using Ndef. What you have to do is add more than one Ndef record to a Ndef message, then you can send the whole message in one tap. The main things that limit how many records you can add to the message are the size of the entire message and the memory size on the receiving device (like a tag). If your message is larger than the available memory, it won't send.

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
