 * With the help of AndroidNfcHepler you can check current Near field communication (NFC) state.
 * In detail you can check:
 * 
 * - if the device is Near Field Communication capable / has NFC hardware
 * - if NFC is enabled 
 * - if Android Beam (p2p protocol) is enabled
 * 
 * NFC is badly supported since Android 2.3.0 (API 9). The APIs was improved in Android 2.3.3 (API 10).
 * Therefore AndroidNfcHepler infers at least API 10 for proper NFC usage.
