**Parameter**
  
  | **Name**| **Type**| **Mandatory**| **Description**|
  | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
  | type | string | Yes| Event type to subscribe to. The value is **nfcStateChange**.|
  | callback | Callback&lt;NfcState&gt; | Yes| Callback invoked to return the NFC state changes.|



## controller.off('nfcStateChange')

off(type: "nfcStateChange", callback?: Callback&lt;NfcState&gt;): void

Unsubscribes from the NFC state changes.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.Communication.NFC.Core

**Parameter**

**Example**

  ```js
  import nfcController from '@ohos.nfcController';
  
  var NFC_STATE_NOTIFY = "nfcStateChange";
  
  var recvNfcStateNotifyFunc = result => {
      console.info("nfc state receive state: " + result);
  }
  
  // Subscribe to the NFC state changes.
  nfcController.on(NFC_STATE_NOTIFY, recvNfcStateNotifyFunc);
  
  // Unsubscribe from the NFC state changes.
  nfcController.off(NFC_STATE_NOTIFY, recvNfcStateNotifyFunc);
  ```
