isDirectAccessSupported

Checks if direct-access is supported.

Direct access requires specialized NFC hardware and may not be supported on all devices even if default store is available.

Because Android is not running when direct-access credentials are presented, there is no way for the user to consent to release of credential data. Therefore, credentials provisioned to the direct access store should always use reader authentication to protect data elements such that only readers authorized by the issuer can access them. The setReaderCertificate method can be used at provisioning time to set which reader (or group of readers) are authorized to access data elements.
