I'm tooling around with my Nexus S and some MiFare tags and am trying to get together an application that simply reads and displays the ID of a tag. I've looked through the API demo a few times and can't quite get my head around it; I think this is so because the demo includes code for faking tags for developers who don't have access to a real device.
What I need is a tutorial or similar on how to code NFC-based apps for Android, ideally just the required imports and the method that will return the data from a scanned tag.
Does anyone know this off the top of their head?

Many Android-powered devices that offer NFC functionality already support NFC card emulation. In most cases, the card is emulated by a separate chip in the device, called a secure element. Many SIM cards provided by wireless carriers also contain a secure element.
Exactly for this.. I did some work.

I wrote an in-depth tutorial on how to get started with NFC here for people who are interested in learning how to integrate NFC with their Android app:
