A "tag" may actually be another device that appears as a tag. 5 6<p>Here's a summary of the classes:</p> 7 8<dl> 9 <dt>{@link android.nfc.NfcManager}</dt> 10 <dd>This is the high level manager, used to obtain this device's {@link android.nfc.NfcAdapter}. You can 11acquire an instance using {@link android.content.Context#getSystemService}.</dd> 12 <dt>{@link android.nfc.NfcAdapter}</dt> 13 <dd>This represents the device's NFC adapter, which is your entry-point to performing NFC 14operations. You can acquire an instance with {@link android.nfc.NfcManager#getDefaultAdapter}, or 15{@link android.nfc.NfcAdapter#getDefaultAdapter(android.content.Context)}.</dd> 16 <dt>{@link android.nfc.NdefMessage}</dt> 17 <dd>Represents an NDEF data message, which is the standard format in which "records" 18carrying data are transmitted between devices and tags. Your application can receive these 19messages from an {@link android.nfc.NfcAdapter#ACTION_TAG_DISCOVERED} intent.</dd> 20 <dt>{@link android.nfc.NdefRecord}</dt> 21 <dd>Represents a record, which is delivered in a {@link android.nfc.NdefMessage} and describes the 22type of data being shared and carries the data itself.</dd> 23</dl> 24 25<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> 26Not all Android-powered devices provide NFC functionality.</p> 27</BODY> 28</HTML> 29
