| ↳ | android.nfc.tech.NfcA | 
Provides access to NFC-A (ISO 14443-3A) properties and I/O operations on a Tag. 
Acquire a NfcA object using get(Tag). 
The primary NFC-A I/O operation is transceive(byte[]). Applications must implement their own protocol stack on top of transceive(byte[]). 
Note: Methods that perform I/O operations require the NFC permission.

Disable I/O operations to the tag from this TagTechnology object, and release resources. 
Also causes all blocked I/O operations on other thread to be canceled and return with IOException. 
Requires the NFC permission.
| IOException | 
|---|
Enable I/O operations to the tag from this TagTechnology object. 
May cause RF activity and may block. Must not be called from the main application thread. A blocked call will be canceled with IOException by calling close() from another thread. 
Only one TagTechnology object can be connected to a Tag at a time. 
Applications must call close() when I/O operations are complete. 
Requires the NFC permission.
| IOException | 
|---|
Get an instance of NfcA for the given tag. 
Returns null if NfcA was not enumerated in getTechList(). This indicates the tag does not support NFC-A. 
Does not cause any RF activity and does not block.
| tag | an NFC-A compatible tag | 
|---|
Return the ATQA/SENS_RES bytes from tag discovery.
Does not cause any RF activity and does not block.
Return the maximum number of bytes that can be sent with transceive(byte[]).
transceive(byte[]). Return the SAK/SEL_RES bytes from tag discovery.
Does not cause any RF activity and does not block.
Get the Tag object backing this TagTechnology object.
Tag backing this TagTechnology object. Get the current transceive(byte[]) timeout in milliseconds. 
Requires the NFC permission.
Set the transceive(byte[]) timeout in milliseconds. 
The timeout only applies to transceive(byte[]) on this object, and is reset to a default value when close() is called. 
Setting a longer timeout may be useful when performing transactions that require a long processing time on the tag such as key generation.
Requires the NFC permission.
| timeout | timeout value in milliseconds | 
|---|
Send raw NFC-A commands to the tag and receive the response.
Applications must not append the EoD (CRC) to the payload, it will be automatically calculated.
Applications must only send commands that are complete bytes, for example a SENS_REQ is not possible (these are used to manage tag polling and initialization).
Use getMaxTransceiveLength() to retrieve the maximum number of bytes that can be sent with transceive(byte[]). 
This is an I/O operation and will block until complete. It must not be called from the main application thread. A blocked call will be canceled with IOException if close() is called from another thread. 
Requires the NFC permission.
