Hi @mhernaez@silverwarepos.com,

Here is one workaround, after conversing internally with the team. Please note that this is not a public interface so there are no guarantees that it will not change in the future.

1) Add the following permissions to your android manifest.

<uses-permission android:name="com.clover.permission.RECEIVE_CARD_INSERTED"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.clover.permission.RECEIVE_CARD_SWIPED"/>

2) Create the following service for your app:

public class IntentSuppressionService extends Service {
  private static final String ACTION_BROADCAST_CARD_INSERTED = "com.clover.intent.action.broadcast.CARD_INSERTED";
  private static final String ACTION_BROADCAST_CARD_SWIPED = "com.clover.intent.action.broadcast.CARD_SWIPED";
  private static final int PRIORITY_INTERCEPT = 200;

  private BroadcastReceiver suppressCardInsertedIntentReceiver = null;

  public static void start(Context context) {
    context.startService(new Intent(context, IntentSuppressionService.class));
  }

  public static void stop(Context context) {
    context.stopService(new Intent(context, IntentSuppressionService.class));
  }

  @Override
  public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
    ALog.d(this, "Intent suppression background service is starting");
    return START_STICKY;
  }

  @Override
  public void onCreate() {

    IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
    filter.addAction(ACTION_BROADCAST_CARD_INSERTED);
    filter.addAction(ACTION_BROADCAST_CARD_SWIPED);
    filter.setPriority(PRIORITY_INTERCEPT);

    if (suppressCardInsertedIntentReceiver == null) {
      suppressCardInsertedIntentReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
          String action = intent != null ? intent.getAction() : null;
          if (ACTION_BROADCAST_CARD_INSERTED.equals(action) || ACTION_BROADCAST_CARD_SWIPED.equals(action)) {
            ALog.i(this, "Intent suppression background service is suppressing intent: " + action);
            if (isOrderedBroadcast()) {
              abortBroadcast();
            }
          }
        }
      };

      registerReceiver(suppressCardInsertedIntentReceiver, filter);

      ALog.d(this, "Intent suppression background service broadcast receiver created");
    }
  }

  @Override
  public void onDestroy() {
    if (suppressCardInsertedIntentReceiver != null) {
      unregisterReceiver(suppressCardInsertedIntentReceiver);
      suppressCardInsertedIntentReceiver = null;

      ALog.d(this, "Intent suppression background service broadcast receiver destroyed");
    }
    super.onDestroy();
  }

  @Override
  public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
    return null;
  }
}

The intent that is being produced is ordered, so you can set your broadcast receiver to intercept the intent and short circuit it.

Payment Connector should be available for development in Canada, and that will be the supported payment endpoint moving forward. Please continue to post your questions on Community or email semi-integrations@clover.com

Best,
