In what step are you looking for this exactly?

empty gust Oct 30, 2023, 12:53 PM

#

Im looking at the Connect to reader step in the manual

#

however in my app i need to support both regular phisical card readers and alsl tap to pay

#

so i need to differentiate them on the callbacks

#

i looked at the DeviceType but it is not clear which one is the correct

#

it seems to be DeviceType.COTS_DEVICE but cant say for sure

Could you please share the list of readers that you receive in onUpdateDiscoveredReaders?

How to share it?

Can you print out the IDs and send the text of that list here?

[com.stripe.stripeterminal.external.models.Reader@7352aa6]

#

I just want to know if theres a way to know if the "Reader" Object is tap to pay or just another type of reader

#

to show the user if the current "reader" is actually a phisical one or just tap to pay

#

since when connecting to a reader or to tap to pay you will always get an object of type "Reader" regardlress

Ah gotcha, apologies the server got bery busy so it has been taking me a bit to catch up. Looking in to that and will get back to you.

#

i think the answer is if Reader.deviceType == DeviceType.COTS_DEVICE - but i cant say for sure since it doesnt seem documented and im on the simulated version

It is looking like that is the way to check for me as well but I am having trouble confirming. I will double check with my colleagues and get back to you
