Last example "Android NFC read MifareClassic RFID tag, with android.nfc.action.TECH_DISCOVERED" read some general info of the RFID tag; such as type, size... This example dump the data inside the tag by calling readBlock() of MifareClassic.
Test on bland new MifareClassic RFID Card and Key.
(Android Studio project and signed APK are available on bottom of this post, you can test on your Android devices)
MifareClassic.readBlock() is an I/O operation and will block until complete. It must not be called from the main application thread. So we have to implement our AsyncTask to perform in background thread.
Modify MainActivity.java in last example:

nfcAdapter = NfcAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(this);
if(nfcAdapter == null){
Toast.makeText(this,

Hi!
ReplyDeleteOn my Android 4.4 under VirtualBox I have received Error message
"NFC NOT supported on this device"
please help me how to resolve this trouble?
