title: How to build a simple NFC based Android app, read only
body: <p>Here's a loaded question for you guys.  First off, what background I have is in Visual Studio 2010 and C#.  I have all the code as far as SQL queries and such already written in a PC variant of this application.  I haven't made an Android app before, and I don't have experience with java.  I'm just praying it isn't too far a leap from C#.</p>
  
  <p>What I want to do is make a very basic app which would be called when the NFC scanned a tag.  The app would then push the contents of the tag to an SQL database.  There doesn't need to be much, if any, user interface.</p>
  
  <p>As of right now, I've installed the Eclipse IDE with the Android SDK.  I went through the tutorial and made the Hello World app then ran it on my device (Nexus 4 running stock 4.2.1).</p>
  
  <p>I've been trying to find tutorials and such, but I need something fairly basic as I'm not familiar with this environment yet.  Any pointers on where to start or how to go about making this would be greatly appreciated.</p>
