Zebra RFID Mobile Application for Android
This application runs on Android mobile devices and demonstrates RFD8500 capability and tag operation
functionality.
The application allows the user to navigate to all screens whether or not the device is connected to the
RFD8500 reader. The Settings screens display the application defaults when there is no connection to the
reader. When not connected, an attempt to perform any operation (Rapid Read, Inventory, Locate tag, Access
Operations, Save Configuration, Battery Status) displays No Active Connection with Reader.
The user can navigate to all screens when the inventory/locate operation is in progress. When the operation is
in progress, the device displays Operation in Progress if additional operations are initiated.
