Here's a summary of the classes:


  {@link android.nfc.NfcManager}
  This is the high level manager, used to obtain this device's {@link android.nfc.NfcAdapter}. You can
acquire an instance using {@link android.content.Context#getSystemService}.
  {@link android.nfc.NfcAdapter}
  This represents the device's NFC adapter, which is your entry-point to performing NFC
operations. You can acquire an instance with {@link android.nfc.NfcManager#getDefaultAdapter}, or
{@link android.nfc.NfcAdapter#getDefaultAdapter(android.content.Context)}.
  {@link android.nfc.NdefMessage}
  Represents an NDEF data message, which is the standard format in which "records"
carrying data are transmitted between devices and tags. Your application can receive these
messages from an {@link android.nfc.NfcAdapter#ACTION_TAG_DISCOVERED} intent.
  {@link android.nfc.NdefRecord}
  Represents a record, which is delivered in a {@link android.nfc.NdefMessage} and describes the
type of data being shared and carries the data itself.


Note:
Not all Android-powered devices provide NFC functionality.
