Start/stop, reading sessions #62

As I see, the plugin is working all the time (draining the battery), isn't it? Is (will be) there any way to use the plugin in sessions, e.g manually start/stop the reading?

The plugin runs when the application is in the foreground and stops in the background.

The NFC hardware is always running on the phone. The plugin gets a reference to the NFC Adapter.

I don't expect problems with battery life when you use the plugin.
