Description
Please add support for external NFC readers.
It can be done using this library: https://github.com/entur/android-nfc-lib
It has many wrappers (including IsoDep) for working with external and internal tags in parallel.
But it can be very useful for phones that don't have an NFC reader.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the android-nfc-lib library, especially its external-reader and IsoDep wrappers, and compare them with the project's existing NFC support. Define how external and internal tags should work in parallel and what support should look like on phones without built-in NFC; no project files or tests are named in the issue.
