Android NFC read MifareClassic RFID tag, with android.nfc.action.TECH_DISCOVERED

This example show using intent-filter of "android.nfc.action.TECH_DISCOVERED", specify target tech of android.nfc.tech.MifareClassic, and read basic info my MifareClassic RFID tag.

Edit AndroidManifest.xml, to specify <uses-permission> of "android.permission.NFC", and <uses-feature> of "android.hardware.nfc".
Add <intent-filter>> of "android.nfc.action.TECH_DISCOVERED", and <meta-data> for "@xml/nfc_tech_filter".

</manifest>

Create xml/nfc_tech_filter.xml. In order to make it simple, we specify one tech only, android.nfc.tech.MifareClassic.

<resources xmlns:xliff="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2">
<tech-list>
    <tech>android.nfc.tech.MifareClassic</tech>
