I have some Samsung TecTiles NFC tags.
I wrote to the tags using the TecTiles App from Google Play.

When I give the tag to a friend he can’t read it. After some investigation I found that he couldn’t read the tag because he didn’t have the TecTiles app installed.

I tried writing to the tag with several other apps but it seems that when I want to read the tag I have to have the same app used for writing the tag.

Can I somehow write the tag and make it readable by any NFC-reader app?
Do I have to have a reader-app or do the phone supposed to read the tag on its own?

Thanks.

    If you write the tags sending NDEF Messages as “Absolute URI” type, or another common type, any app application handling NDEF_DISCOVERED intent using those types will read your written data. It’s not necesary to use the same application for writing and then reading.
