Unaffiliated with the University of Virginia.
I was tired of carrying my ID card to the Gym. All we have to do is scan the barcode to register access and get locker room keys, you don't need anything else on ID card for that.
Even though you can generate the barcode from UVARec mobile app, you need to log-in using your NetBadge ID, EVERY-SINGLE-TIME to do so, which makes me look stupid, standing in line fiddling with my phone.
This is a simple weekend project to generate the barcode for any student ID number, and create a one-step shortcut in your phone.
Just Click - Scan - Go.
This is now a one-tap solution on my phone's home screen.
All barcode dependent "check-in" activities -
- UVA Rec. Access,
- In-house conference attendance,
- Event check-in,
- etc.
Everything else:
- Anything that needs NFC capability of your ID Card. (Payment, Building Access, etc.)
- Find the 9-digit number below the barcode from backside of your UVA ID card.
- Enter this number in "Enter Student ID (Number):" field at homepage.
- Click/Tap the "Generate Barcode" button.
- Follow the steps above on your phone.
- Click on the generated "Direct URL".
- This link will always generate your barcode directly.
- If you are on phone, click "Share" button on your phone.
- Share the webpage link as "Home screen shortcut".
