How to detect if device can read and write Mifare classic NFC tag?

Question

Is there any way I can check whether the device can read and write Mifare classic NFC tags? I am writing an app which main use case is to read and write Mifare classic tags, so if it can not, the app should show a message and close.

Answer 1

 public boolean deviceSupportsMifareClassic() {
    FeatureInfo[] info = mContext. getPackageManager().getSystemAvailableFeatures();
    for (FeatureInfo i : info) {
        String name = i.name;
        if (name != null && name.equals("com.nxp.mifare")) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
 }
