Check if eID has been activated on older German IDs with NFC
Added by Alexander Hoffmann about 4 years ago
Hi all,
I am using open ecard on android. I would like to know if it's possible to identify with openecard if a German ID has the eID functionality enabled.
Background:
AFAIK, older "new" German IDs need to be activated at the citizen office. New IDs can be activated at home with a 5-digit transport PIN.
Is there a specific callback or error code which indicates that the ID needs to be activated at the citizen office?

The callback function referenced by the following link is executed when a card is deactivated. https://github.com/ecsec/open-ecard-android/blob/6ca1eafedfa1af5bfac3355c3ee0c262b0c57350/app/src/main/java/org/openecard/demo/activities/EACActivity.java#L214
The android demo app does not provide visible feedback to the user in that case.

Thank you. I wasn't quite sure about the onCardDeactivated callback. This will be sufficient for our usecase.
