title: Android Beam - payload transfer from both devices when only one Touch To Beam?
body: <p>Ok, I watched the Google I/O from 2011 <a href="http://youtu.be/49L7z3rxz4Q?t=10m20s" rel="nofollow">presentation on NFC</a> on peer to peer.</p>
  
  <p>The demo was done on Gingerbread and using the <a href="http://nfc.android.com" rel="nofollow">application Sticky Notes found</a></p>
  
  <p>Now in this demo, both device the onNewIntent() was called at the same time so both devices are trying to share information to one another.</p>
  
  <p>On ICS and above, you have Android Beam..</p>
  
  <p>With Android Beam, you have to touch to trigger the onNewIntent() event that will send the NDef message across.</p>
  
  <p>Now the problem with this is that now to trigger the onNewIntent() on both devices, both user on each device has to "Touch To Beam" at the same time.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way that when you Touch To Beam on one device, both can have the onNewIntent() to be called?</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to develop an app that will exchange data to each other but for it to work in a nice friendly fashion I need the devices to share the data at the same time once the Touch To Beam has been initiated on one device. I do hope this is possible.</p>
