title: Android read actual data from rfid tag
body: <p>I have a Nexus S and I have specialty RFID writing hardware and passive RFID tags.  I can write strings to the RFID tags (and read the strings back using the same hardware) but none of the NFC demo apps on Android I've tried show me the actual string.</p>
  
  <p>What methods would I use to read the actual string byte data from the passive rfid tag? Everything I've looked at just gives me diagnostic information about the tag not the data present on it</p>
  
  <p>The data isn't encrypted to my knowledge, just plain text. </p>
  
  <p>I am not sure if the NDEF standard is usuable on passive RFID tags, the addressing might be different or something. Insight appreciated.</p>
