There is an android app, Passwallet, that is able to interpret pkpass files intented for the apple app Passbook (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.attidomobile.passwallet)
I was wondering how to read pkpass files.
Pkpass files seem to be zip files with all the information inside in json files. Is there a default structure for the pkpass files? If so what is it? And what would be a good way to import that into a android app?
For the people who wonder how read the content of the pkpass file refer to the following code:
I set up this activity with the intent filter for pkpass files
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data
android:mimeType="application/vnd-com.apple.pkpass"
android:scheme="content" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data
android:mimeType="application/vnd.apple.pkpass"
android:scheme="content" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data
android:mimeType="application/vnd-com.apple.pkpass"
android:scheme="file" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data
android:mimeType="application/vnd.apple.pkpass"
android:scheme="file" />
</intent-filter>
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Intent intent = getIntent();
Uri uri = intent.getData();
String scheme = uri.getScheme();
if(ContentResolver.SCHEME_CONTENT.equals(scheme)) {
try {
InputStream attachment = getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
handleZipInput(attachment);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
else {
String path = uri.getEncodedPath();
try {
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(path);
handleZipInput(fis);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
private void handleZipInput(InputStream in) {
try {
ZipInputStream zis = new ZipInputStream(in);
ZipEntry entry;
while((entry = zis.getNextEntry()) != null) {
String filename = entry.getName();
if(filename.equals("pass.json")) {
StringBuilder s = new StringBuilder();
int read = 0;
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
while((read = zis.read(buffer, 0, 1024)) >= 0)
s.append(new String(buffer, 0, read));
JSONObject pass = new JSONObject(s.toString());
break;
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
