     38 /**
     39  * Represents an NFC tag that has been discovered.
     40  * <p>
     41  * {@link Tag} is an immutable object that represents the state of a NFC tag at
     42  * the time of discovery. It can be used as a handle to {@link TagTechnology} classes
     43  * to perform advanced operations, or directly queried for its ID via {@link #getId} and the
     44  * set of technologies it contains via {@link #getTechList}. Arrays passed to and
     45  * returned by this class are <em>not</em> cloned, so be careful not to modify them.
     46  * <p>
     47  * A new tag object is created every time a tag is discovered (comes into range), even
     48  * if it is the same physical tag. If a tag is removed and then returned into range, then
     49  * only the most recent tag object can be successfully used to create a {@link TagTechnology}.
     50  *
     51  * <h3>Tag Dispatch</h3>
     52  * When a tag is discovered, a {@link Tag} object is created and passed to a
     53  * single activity via the {@link NfcAdapter#EXTRA_TAG} extra in an
     54  * {@link android.content.Intent} via {@link Context#startActivity}. A four stage dispatch is used
     55  * to select the
     56  * most appropriate activity to handle the tag. The Android OS executes each stage in order,
     57  * and completes dispatch as soon as a single matching activity is found. If there are multiple
     58  * matching activities found at any one stage then the Android activity chooser dialog is shown
     59  * to allow the user to select the activity to receive the tag.
     60  *
     61  * <p>The Tag dispatch mechanism was designed to give a high probability of dispatching
     62  * a tag to the correct activity without showing the user an activity chooser dialog.
     63  * This is important for NFC interactions because they are very transient -- if a user has to
     64  * move the Android device to choose an application then the connection will likely be broken.
     65  *
     66  * <h4>1. Foreground activity dispatch</h4>
     67  * A foreground activity that has called
     68  * {@link NfcAdapter#enableForegroundDispatch NfcAdapter.enableForegroundDispatch()} is
     69  * given priority. See the documentation on
     70  * {@link NfcAdapter#enableForegroundDispatch NfcAdapter.enableForegroundDispatch()} for
     71  * its usage.
     72  * <h4>2. NDEF data dispatch</h4>
     73  * If the tag contains NDEF data the system inspects the first {@link NdefRecord} in the first
     74  * {@link NdefMessage}. If the record is a URI, SmartPoster, or MIME data
     75  * {@link Context#startActivity} is called with {@link NfcAdapter#ACTION_NDEF_DISCOVERED}. For URI
     76  * and SmartPoster records the URI is put into the intent's data field. For MIME records the MIME
     77  * type is put in the intent's type field. This allows activities to register to be launched only
     78  * when data they know how to handle is present on a tag. This is the preferred method of handling
     79  * data on a tag since NDEF data can be stored on many types of tags and doesn't depend on a
     80  * specific tag technology.
     81  * See {@link NfcAdapter#ACTION_NDEF_DISCOVERED} for more detail. If the tag does not contain
     82  * NDEF data, or if no activity is registered
     83  * for {@link NfcAdapter#ACTION_NDEF_DISCOVERED} with a matching data URI or MIME type then dispatch
     84  * moves to stage 3.
     85  * <h4>3. Tag Technology dispatch</h4>
     86  * {@link Context#startActivity} is called with {@link NfcAdapter#ACTION_TECH_DISCOVERED} to
     87  * dispatch the tag to an activity that can handle the technologies present on the tag.
     88  * Technologies are defined as sub-classes of {@link TagTechnology}, see the package
     89  * {@link android.nfc.tech}. The Android OS looks for an activity that can handle one or
     90  * more technologies in the tag. See {@link NfcAdapter#ACTION_TECH_DISCOVERED} for more detail.
     91  * <h4>4. Fall-back dispatch</h4>
     92  * If no activity has been matched then {@link Context#startActivity} is called with
     93  * {@link NfcAdapter#ACTION_TAG_DISCOVERED}. This is intended as a fall-back mechanism.
     94  * See {@link NfcAdapter#ACTION_TAG_DISCOVERED}.
     95  *
     96  * <h3>NFC Tag Background</h3>
     97  * An NFC tag is a passive NFC device, powered by the NFC field of this Android device while
     98  * it is in range. Tag's can come in many forms, such as stickers, cards, key fobs, or
     99  * even embedded in a more sophisticated device.
    100  * <p>
    101  * Tags can have a wide range of capabilities. Simple tags just offer read/write semantics,
    102  * and contain some one time
    103  * programmable areas to make read-only. More complex tags offer math operations
    104  * and per-sector access control and authentication. The most sophisticated tags
    105  * contain operating environments allowing complex interactions with the
    106  * code executing on the tag. Use {@link TagTechnology} classes to access a broad
    107  * range of capabilities available in NFC tags.
    108  * <p>
