Android NFC Unresolved reference: setNdefPushMessage

Question

I'm working on an Android application that's supposed to send text data from one phone to another via NFC. I've been referring to the official Android NFC documentation: https://developer.android.com/develop/connectivity/nfc/nfc

In my code, I'm trying to use the setNdefPushMessage method as follows:

import android.nfc.NfcAdapter
...
private var nfcAdapter: NfcAdapter? = null
...
nfcAdapter?.setNdefPushMessage(this, this)

However, I'm encountering an error, which is as follows:

Unresolved reference: setNdefPushMessage

I've searched the android.nfc.NfcAdapter library codes, but I couldn't find the setNdefPushMessage or setNdefPushMessageCallback method. Has this method been removed, or is this an Android Studio issue? Can someone suggest an alternative way to send and receive NFC data on Android?

I've already checked the Android NFC documentation and tried a few things, but I'm not sure how to proceed. Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated.
