How to check whether NFC is enabled or not in android?

Question

How can i check whether NFC is enabled or not programmatically? Is there any way to enable the NFC on the device from my program? Please help me

Answer 1

Use PackageManager and hasSystemFeature("android.hardware.nfc"), matching the element you should have in your manifest.

Since 2.3.3 you can also use NfcAdapter.getDefaultAdapter() to get the adapter (if available) and call its isEnabled() method to check whether NFC is currently turned on.
