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