I'm tooling around with my Nexus S and some MiFare tags and am trying to get together an application that simply reads and displays the ID of a tag. I've looked through the API demo a few times and can't quite get my head around it; I think this is so because the demo includes code for faking tags for developers who don't have access to a real device.

What I need is a tutorial or similar on how to code NFC-based apps for Android, ideally just the required imports and the method that will return the data from a scanned tag.

Does anyone know this off the top of their head?
