I’m trying to build an app that can scan augmented reality business cards and save contact information to the users phone. iOS and Android.
Any thoughts?
No experince with phones but did you breeze through the API?
I doubt there is anything in the Unity API for this.
This will most definitely be a ‘native’ feature of the phone you’re using.
Not sure of what .net libraries out there have been put together to access the phone… but I bet people have created them. Though you would definitely be increasing you build size with a fat library.
Rather instead, you usually just write a native plugin for that platform (say in Java for Android), drop said plugin into your project, and then access it accordingly. This way your plugin will only contain what you need (namely the changing contacts).
This of course also means that you’ll need to setup the security request for your app as well (can be done in the plugin too).
All of which means you’d probably start over on an Android/iPhone dev forum to get a better understanding of the API as there is a higher likelihood of people being familiar with it than here on the unity forum. Cause honestly the modifying of the contact list is sort of game agnostic. It’s done the same way regardless of Unity… the only Unity step is the inclussion of the plugin into your project.
