Is HCE Host-based Card Emulation for contactless card only?

Question

According to this question, based Card Emulation for contactless card only? What if I want to use HCE with a visa card that does not have visaWave functionality?

1) Can I use back the visaWave AID?

2) What's the data format to send back to the terminal? Can it be implemented?

Sorry to bother you, can you please explain the reason for downvoting? — user1872384, Aug 24 '15 at 09:05

HCE emulates a Contactless Smart Card over your NFC chip (aka you are enabling the phone to be a smart card). You can implement an NFC reader that reads a contactless smart card in a different way, but that's not related to Host Card Emulation (HCE).

So means HCE can't support cards without contactless functionality? – user1872384 Aug 25 '15 at 01:55

That is correct. Only contactless. https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/nfc/hce.html#SupportedProtocols – Sam Edwards Aug 25 '15 at 03:05
