Problems reading a NfcV Tag

[Kellrkind]

Hello

I'm new here and i hope you can help me with my problem writing an application for our guild.

We want to optimize our membership administration on our trips we're doing during the karneval in Germany.
I've completed nearly every feature but in the case 'NFC Tag Reading' I can't get any further.

So maybe you can help me. Googled nearly everything but can't find a solution which helps me.
The situation:

The tag i need to read from is a NfcV Tag. It was implemented along with a professional reading 'computer'.
When i want to read this tag with a usual NFC Reading App this is the result:

Tag ID (hex): e0 04 03 50 00 57 c2 a3
Tad ID (dec): -2304713467168832861
ID (reversed): -66466544411911439136
Technologies: NfcV, NdefFormatable

I implemented several solutions but the best I've been able to read was this:
a3 c2 57 00 50 03 04 e0

It's the hex-ID backwords. The output i want to recieve is just '89'. As simple as it sounds but as difficult it is for me.
Do you have any suggestions which should be the next step to get this information out of the tag. Maybe i'm on the wrong way with the hex-ID...

Here's a the code for the reader:

            nfcv.connect();
            byte[] tagID = nfcv.getTag().getId();
            String tagInhalt = getHex(tagID);
            Log.d("Hex ID", tagInhalt);
            String message = new String(tagInhalt);

Found some ways to try reading the tag:
From on programcreek a proposal but can't link it. Got problems with the VotarProtocol mVotarProtocol; Can't import it:

public void onTagDiscovered(Tag tag) {
    Log.i(TAG, "New tag discovered");
    Log.i(TAG, "Tag: " + VotarProtocol.BuildTagId(tag.getId(),0));
    VotarProtocol mVotarProtocol;
    NfcV nfcvTag = NfcV.get(tag);
    if (nfcvTag != null) {
        mVotarProtocol = new VotarProtocol();
        try {
            // Connect to the remote NFC device
            // set up read command buffer
            nfcvTag.connect();

            mVotarProtocol.setSystemInfo(nfcvTag.transceive(getCommand(tag.getId(), true)));

            Log.i(TAG, "-----------------------");
            Log.i(TAG, "Tag ID: " + mVotarProtocol.tagID());
            Log.i(TAG, "-----------------------");
            byte[] xdata = nfcvTag.transceive(getCommand(tag.getId(), false));
            mVotarProtocol.setBallotData(xdata);

            //Log.i(TAG, VotarProtocol.ByteArrayToHexString(mVotarProtocol.rawdata));
            //Log.i(TAG, "-----------------------");

            Log.i(TAG, mVotarProtocol.toString());
            Log.i(TAG, "------xxxx--------------");

            //aca quiero que mande la cosa entera
            mBallotCallback.get().onBallotReceived(mVotarProtocol);


        } catch (IOException e) {
            Log.e(TAG, "Error communicating with card: " + e.toString());
            mBallotCallback.get().onBallotFailed(e.toString());
        }
    }

}

Found an nfcbookscanner on github but can't link it.

Would be great if someone could help me with this problem
Thx and best wishes

Where does the '89' come from?

(i.e., is that decimal or hex and why is that a value that you want...a little confused as to how / where that might be derived from...)

[welcome to AF, by the way ]

Hey scary

Thx for the fast response
I speculate that the output should be the number 89. Every member of our guild is marked with a stitched number on their dress. Under the number they've placed a NFC Tag and they've used a little maschine before to administrate every member on every trip. This maschine showed the number (in my case 89) when they've scanned my tag

So i concluded that it should result this number but i'm not totaly shure because i don't know how to handle the bytes in the hex and decs part of the tag

Thx also for the warm welcome

Update:
I've found the app NFC tagInfo. The App gives me this information:

Data (US-ASCII)
Block 0: (some weird signs)
Block 1: 089
Block 2:
Block 3:
Block 4:
Block 5:
Block 6:
Block 7:

Are there anny suggestions how to read the US-ASCII Part?
