I'm no NFC guru, but from what I can tell of the docs and the samples,
there's no way to do card emulation on an Android device at this time,
using the SDK. Is that correct?

I see the published classes/methods for reading/writing tags, and for
the Ndef push using P2P and the mysterious com.android.npp package
(anyone know where there's more information on that?). But that
doesn't get me to turning the Android device into whatever tag I want
it to be read as by some other NFC reader, at least I'm pretty sure it
doesn't. Unless the NFC sensor reads and writes my device's tag if
there happens to be one on the device. Is that how it's supposed to
work? If that last part is true, is there some sort of convention on
how I recognize "my" tag as compared to any other tag I come into
contactless with?

I saw posts describing how to do this from the NDK level but I'm
asking about from the SDK level. I also saw source code with
unpublished methods for card emulation, which leads me to believe that
it's just not possible, yet.

Thanks for any help on this.
