(Android™) Load Certificate from Smart Card by Serial Number

See more Certificates Examples

This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.87 or greater. It uses a Windows-only function named LoadFromSmartcard.

This example loads a certificate specified by its hexidecimal serial number. The LoadFromSmartcard method will examine the connected smart cards and USB tokens and will find and load the certificate having the specified serial number.

    // To load the certificate specified by its hexidecimal serial number, pass the string "serial=<hexSerialNumber>".  For example:
