Android Question How to make NFC TAG trigger application?

[RomansUP]

Hi everyone!
I looked at the forum, but I can not figure out how to make sure to run the third-part application on triggering NFC tag. What I mean: - My main trigger program on B4A should work in background. After I put NFC card to smartphone Main Program must come up and begins run in foreground. Then it starts predefine third-part application (activity) and goes again in background mode. Whether there are clear recommendations, and even better the program code how to do this?
Thanks, Shurale

Use NDEF tags. See this tutorial: Reading NDEF data from NFC tags

Well Erel Thank you.
I have read it already.
Sorry but I have not tags NDEF type. I just want to use UID of Tags type ISO/IEC 14443-3(Type A). in Android description TAG: Tech [android.nfc.tech.NdcA]
Is it possible to make such code? How to catch (get) UID I know from here https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/nfc-reading-and-writing.64451/#content

Try this:
Add the following code to the manifest editor:

AddActivityText(Main,
<intent-filter>
    <actionandroid:name="android.nfc.action.TECH_DISCOVERED"/>
</intent-filter>
<meta-data android:name="android.nfc.action.TECH_DISCOVERED"
    android:resource="@xml/nfc_tech_filter" />)
CreateResource(xml, nfc_tech_filter.xml,
<resources xmlns:xliff="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2">
  <tech-list>
  <tech>android.nfc.tech.NfcA</tech>
  </tech-list>
</resources>)

The activity should be started (resumed) when you scan a tag.

Super, it works. Thank you Erel.
But I have cathed two errors in code you gave me.
Firs: in string meta-dataandroid:name system show me an error. I made correction like this: meta-data android:name
and second - There was an error in tag </meta>) I just put the end of block like this : />)

Is it right? Or code works now incorrectly?
Nevertheless now it is no any errors. And my program works as I need.
Thank you for help
