/**
 * Represents an NFC tag that has been discovered.
 * <p>
 * {@link Tag} is an immutable object that represents the state of a NFC tag at
 * the time of discovery. It can be used as a handle to {@link TagTechnology} classes
 * to perform advanced operations, or directly queried for its ID via {@link #getId} and the
 * set of technologies it contains via {@link #getTechList}. Arrays passed to and
 * returned by this class are <em>not</em> cloned, so be careful not to modify them.
 * <p>
 * A new tag object is created every time a tag is discovered (comes into range), even
 * if it is the same physical tag. If a tag is removed and then returned into range, then
 * only the most recent tag object can be successfully used to create a {@link TagTechnology}.
 *
 * <h3>Tag Dispatch</h3>
 * When a tag is discovered, a {@link Tag} object is created and passed to a
 * single activity via the {@link NfcAdapter#EXTRA_TAG} extra in an
 * {@link android.content.Intent} via {@link Context#startActivity}. A four stage dispatch is used
 * to select the
 * most appropriate activity to handle the tag. The Android OS executes each stage in order,
 * and completes dispatch as soon as a single matching activity is found. If there are multiple
 * matching activities found at any one stage then the Android activity chooser dialog is shown
 * to allow the user to select the activity to receive the tag.
 *
 * <p>The Tag dispatch mechanism was designed to give a high probability of dispatching
 * a tag to the correct activity without showing the user an activity chooser dialog.
 * This is important for NFC interactions because they are very transient -- if a user has to
 * move the Android device to choose an application then the connection will likely be broken.
 *
 * <h4>1. Foreground activity dispatch</h4>
 * A foreground activity that has called
 * {@link NfcAdapter#enableForegroundDispatch NfcAdapter.enableForegroundDispatch()} is
 * given priority. See the documentation on
 * {@link NfcAdapter#enableForegroundDispatch NfcAdapter.enableForegroundDispatch()} for
 * its usage.
 * <h4>2. NDEF data dispatch</h4>
 * If the tag contains NDEF data the system inspects the first {@link NdefRecord} in the first
 * {@link NdefMessage}. If the record is a URI, SmartPoster, or MIME data
 * {@link Context#startActivity} is called with {@link NfcAdapter#ACTION_NDEF_DISCOVERED}. For URI
 * and SmartPoster records the URI is put into the intent's data field. For MIME records the MIME
 * type is put in the intent's type field. This allows activities to register to be launched only
 * when data they know how to handle is present on a tag. This is the preferred method of handling
 * data on a tag since NDEF data can be stored on many types of tags and doesn't depend on a
 * specific tag technology. 
 * See {@link NfcAdapter#ACTION_NDEF_DISCOVERED} for more detail. If the tag does not contain
 * NDEF data, or if no activity is registered
 * for {@link NfcAdapter#ACTION_NDEF_DISCOVERED} with a matching data URI or MIME type then dispatch
 * moves to stage 3.
 * <h4>3. Tag Technology dispatch</h4>
 * {@link Context#startActivity} is called with {@link NfcAdapter#ACTION_TECH_DISCOVERED} to
 * dispatch the tag to an activity that can handle the technologies present on the tag.
 * Technologies are defined as sub-classes of {@link TagTechnology}, see the package
 * {@link android.nfc.tech}. The Android OS looks for an activity that can handle one or
 * more technologies in the tag. See {@link NfcAdapter#ACTION_TECH_DISCOVERED} for more detail.
 * <h4>4. Fall-back dispatch</h4>
 * If no activity has been matched then {@link Context#startActivity} is called with
 * {@link NfcAdapter#ACTION_TAG_DISCOVERED}. This is intended as a fall-back mechanism.
 * See {@link NfcAdapter#ACTION_TAG_DISCOVERED}.
 *
 * <h3>NFC Tag Background</h3>
 * An NFC tag is a passive NFC device, powered by the NFC field of this Android device while
 * it is in range. Tag's can come in many forms, such as stickers, cards, key fobs, or
 * even embedded in a more sophisticated device.
 * <p>
 * Tags can have a wide range of capabilities. Simple tags just offer read/write semantics,
 * and contain some one time
 * programmable areas to make read-only. More complex tags offer math operations
 * and per-sector access control and authentication. The most sophisticated tags
 * contain operating environments allowing complex interactions with the
 * code executing on the tag. Use {@link TagTechnology} classes to access a broad
 * range of capabilities available in NFC tags.
 * <p>
