About this app

External NFC Reader Service. Makes using external NFC readers as easy as native Android NFC. This service app should speed up your development considerably, saving weeks or even months of time and effort.

Supported NFC Readers from ACS:
- ACR 122U
- ACR 1222L
- ACR 1251U
- ACR 1252U
- ACR 1281U
- ACR 1283L
- ACR 1255U-J1 (No bluetooth support, yet)

Some additonal readers might work, but then without proper reader controls (adjusting the LEDs and so on).

Note to non-developers: It is pretty close, but this is not a drop-in replacement for built-in NFC. That would require a custom ROM.
