RFID tag emulation in Android emulator

Question

Currently, you need to use fakeTagsActivity ( http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/NFCDemo/src/com/example/android/nfc/simulator/FakeTagsActivity.html ) if you want to test tags in your application for Android Does the Android team plan to include this feature in the emulator so that you can create RFID tags and “connect” them to the phone with just one click? This thing was implemented very well in the 2-year-old Nokia NFC Manager, which comes with the Nokia 6212 ( http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/5bcaee40-d2b2-4595-b5b5- 4833d6a4cda1 / S40_Nokia_6212_NFC_SDK.html ).

Somehow off topic, are there any good code examples for using NFC in Android, other than those on the official page?

Thanks.

Probably not. The emulator is nice to do some basic development and testing. But for more advanced topics (e.g. nfc) you need to use a real device.

And since it is very easy to deploy and debug a real goal, it is unlikely to be implemented on an emulator.

In addition, there is a fact that the Android emulator is open source. So you can add it yourself if you want.
