USB Permissions Handling
When connecting supported readers to a device via USB, permission will be requested and some extra steps need to be taken to prevent the permission from being re-requested.
Android
An intent-filter for USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED should be registered in the Android manifest, this would look something like:
<application
...>
<activity
...>
...
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.hardware.usb.action.USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data android:name="android.hardware.usb.action.USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED" android:resource="@xml/usb_device_filter" />
</activity>
...
</application>
The intent-filter depends on the named xml resource file to match vendor and product ids reported by the devices; the following should cover all versions of the reader hardware:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<usb-device vendor-id="1155" product-id="22352" />
<usb-device vendor-id="5538" product-id="257" />
<usb-device vendor-id="11369" product-id="22352" />
<usb-device vendor-id="11369" product-id="257" />
</resources>
