Channel
java.lang.Object | |
↳ | android.se.omapi.Channel |
Instances of this class represent an ISO/IEC 7816-4 channel opened to a Secure Element. It can be either a logical channel or the basic channel. They can be used to send APDUs to the secure element. Channels are opened by calling the Session.openBasicChannel(byte[]) or Session.openLogicalChannel(byte[]) methods.

Public methods
close
public void close ()
Closes this channel to the Secure Element. If the method is called when the channel is already closed, this method will be ignored. The close() method shall wait for completion of any pending transmit(byte[] command) before closing the channel.
getSelectResponse
public byte[] getSelectResponse ()
Returns the data as received from the application select command inclusively the status word received at applet selection. The returned byte array contains the data bytes in the following order: [<first data byte>, ..., <last data byte>, <sw1>, <sw2>]
Returns | |
---|---|
byte[] |
The data as returned by the application select command inclusively the status word. Only the status word if the application select command has no returned data. Returns null if an application select command has not been performed or the selection response can not be retrieved by the reader implementation. |
getSession
public Session getSession ()
Get the session that has opened this channel.
Returns | |
---|---|
Session |
the session object this channel is bound to.
This value cannot be null . |
isBasicChannel
public boolean isBasicChannel ()
Returns a boolean telling if this channel is the basic channel.
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if this channel is a basic channel. false if
this channel is a logical channel. |
isOpen
public boolean isOpen ()
Tells if this channel is open.
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
false if the channel is closed or in case of an error.
true otherwise. |
selectNext
public boolean selectNext ()
Performs a selection of the next Applet on this channel that matches to the partial AID
specified in the openBasicChannel(byte[] aid) or openLogicalChannel(byte[] aid) method.
This mechanism can be used by a device application to iterate through all Applets
matching to the same partial AID.
If selectNext() returns true a new Applet was successfully selected on this channel.
If no further Applet exists with matches to the partial AID this method returns false
and the already selected Applet stays selected.
Since the API cannot distinguish between a partial and full AID the API shall rely on the
response of the Secure Element for the return value of this method.
The implementation of the underlying SELECT command within this method shall use
the same values as the corresponding openBasicChannel(byte[] aid) or
openLogicalChannel(byte[] aid) command with the option:
P2='02' (Next occurrence)
The select response stored in the Channel object shall be updated with the APDU
response of the SELECT command.
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if new Applet was selected on this channel.
false the already selected Applet stays selected on this channel. |
Throws | |
---|---|
IOException |
if there is a communication problem to the reader or the Secure Element. |
IllegalStateException |
if the channel is used after being closed. |
UnsupportedOperationException |
if this operation is not supported by the card. |
transmit
public byte[] transmit (byte[] command)
Transmit an APDU command (as per ISO/IEC 7816-4) to the Secure Element. The
underlying layers generate as many TPDUs as necessary to transport this APDU. The
API shall ensure that all available data returned from Secure Element, including
concatenated responses, are retrieved and made available to the calling application. If a
warning status code is received the API wont check for further response data but will
return all data received so far and the warning status code.
The transport part is invisible from the application. The generated response is the
response of the APDU which means that all protocols related responses are handled
inside the API or the underlying implementation.
The transmit method shall support extended length APDU commands independently of
the coding within the ATR.
For status word '61 XX' the API or underlying implementation shall issue a GET
RESPONSE command as specified by ISO 7816-4 standard with LE=XX; for the status
word '6C XX', the API or underlying implementation shall reissue the input command
with LE=XX. For other status words, the API (or underlying implementation) shall return
the complete response including data and status word to the device application. The API
(or underlying implementation) shall not handle internally the received status words. The
channel shall not be closed even if the Secure Element answered with an error code.
The system ensures the synchronization between all the concurrent calls to this method,
and that only one APDU will be sent at a time, irrespective of the number of TPDUs that
might be required to transport it to the SE. The entire APDU communication to this SE is
locked to the APDU.
The channel information in the class byte in the APDU will be ignored. The system will
add any required information to ensure the APDU is transported on this channel.
The only restrictions on the set of commands that can be sent is defined below, the API
implementation shall be able to send all other commands:
- MANAGE_CHANNEL commands are not allowed.
- SELECT by DF Name (p1=04) are not allowed.
- CLA bytes with channel numbers are de-masked.
Parameters | |
---|---|
command |
byte : the APDU command to be transmitted, as a byte array.
This value cannot be null . |
Returns | |
---|---|
byte[] |
the response received, as a byte array. The returned byte array contains the data
bytes in the following order:
[<first data byte>, ..., <last data byte>, <sw1>, <sw2>]
This value cannot be null . |
Throws | |
---|---|
IOException |
if there is a communication problem to the reader or the Secure Element. |
IllegalStateException |
if the channel is used after being closed. |
IllegalArgumentException |
if the command byte array is less than 4 bytes long. |
IllegalArgumentException |
if Lc byte is inconsistent with length of the byte array. |
IllegalArgumentException |
if CLA byte is invalid according to [2] (0xff). |
IllegalArgumentException |
if INS byte is invalid according to [2] (0x6x or 0x9x). |
SecurityException |
if the command is filtered by the security policy. |
NullPointerException |
if command is NULL. |
