How a Mevo's camera hotspot works on Android? - android

Android doesn't support simultaneously work of Wi-Fi and mobile internet except creating hotspot on android device. But the Mevo camera can stream on Facebook by two ways: connecting to the access point of the phone and using the mobile Internet and the second way - when the Mevo acts, as the master and the phone connects to the wifi of the camera (https://help.getmevo.com/hc/en-us/articles/115008282988-Connecting-Android-Devices-to-Mevo-Hotspot). The Internet is not available, except for streaming to Facebook (plus other services that Mevo supports). Does anyone have the ideas how the Mevo camera can make streaming to Facebook with Mevo's Hotspot?

How to setup a network connection between an android phone and the web browser on pc using a wifi network?

Is it possible to connect my Android phone (Redmi Note 7) directly to my Windows (10) PC in such a way that I can make network connections to the PC from the phone, with/without a per-existing WiFi network?
My specific issue is that I want to be able to connect the camera of my android phone with the web browser using a specific IP address. This IP address when typed on the browser would open a screen that would help us to connect with the android device, basically feeding in everything what the android device camera sees.
I've already done my work on the camera2API interface work, I just need some help with the network connection part.
Ideally I'd like a solution that doesn't involve the Internet at all - neither from the PC nor the phone. In my particular situation, it would also be ideal if this can be done over a WiFi network connected via a single IP(same for phone and to be typed on the browser) would suffice.
I really need help with developing an android app that would help me to setup the connection between the android phone and PC using the TCP/IP protocol. There is already an app for serving such a purpose whose link I am providing below, but I have to add some security and login features on the existing app. All i am asking is how would I set up such a connection in the first place and proceed forward with the app.Also, Bluetooth provides a very less upload speed, and about the USB, i am trying to make the total process wireless. the link to the existing app: ip-webcam.appspot.com
Well, I am working at a similar app, and I use a modified web server for configuration and delivering images (I am doing it on the native side though, but I am sure there are plenty of Java web servers out there).

DJI Phantom 3 standard Connectivity issue

Based on my reading, in Phantom 3 standard, the craft, controller and the mobile app all connected to the WIFI access point of the wifi on the controller.
Can we still send data back through mobile internet to a server from on the mobile app using DJI SDK?
Unfortunately its a limitation in many Android phones that they do not connect to Wifi and mobile internet at the same time. FYI. In iPhone this works fine.

Multiple Communication Channels (Bluetooth PAN and LTE) per App

I want to write an Android App which should connect to a Lego Mindstorms EV3 via Bluetooth PAN (Android == Client, Lego == Server). This would render my device without Internet.
Since I need my App to be connected to the Internet I'm looking for a possibility to control the communication channels which the app uses (Bluetooth PAN (thus rendering the device without Internet) to communicate with the LEGO AND LTE).
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Stefan
With ev3dev, you can setup the EV3 so that it is a "server" using the Bluetooth PAN profile. To do this you just enable "tethering" via Bluetooth on the EV3. Then the Android device will be able to connect to the EV3 as a client.
However, I don't know enough about Android networking to know if it is capable of using more than one network at a time.
Or, if your Android is capable of tethering via Bluetooth, you can share your Android's Internet connection (presumably LTE) to the EV3 like this. Then the Android will still be connected to the Internet and there will be a network connection between the EV3 and the Android (and the EV3 will be connected to the Internet as well).

HTTPS connection on wi-fi enabled Android Wear without phone tethering

I can't find any documentation on Android Wear that shows how to create an app that leverages the fact that some watches (like my Samsung Galaxy Gear) can now connect directly to the internet via wi-fi when the phone is not around.
I have a few apps that generate https requests to access a REST service and I would like to know if these can be directly called from a Wear app connected to wi-fi (no phone).
Similar questions don't seem to answer this:
Direct internet connection on Android Wear?

Android: Establish "Wi-Fi Direct" connection with networked devices
My tests on a Wear emulator tethered to an internet enabled Phone emulator show:
java.net.UnknownHostException: Unable to resolve host "api.xxx.com": No address associated with hostname
But of course there's no direct wi-fi connection on the watch emulator so my next step is to try on a real watch and phone.
My suspicion is that Android Wear's data API handles this transparently so direct http requests seem impossible.
Best, thanks in advance for your help.
Even if Android 5.1.1 support Wi-Fi Feature. Android Wear on Wi-Fi: Using a smartwatch without a phone nearby
You should stick to the Data Layer API, you cannot send http request directly from watch. Fetch internet data from the phone, then transfer it to watch with Data Layer API.
You can see this Does Android Wear support directly access the Internet?
And this document Always-on and Wi-Fi with the latest Android Wear update
From the last update its possible to make http requests over wifi using android wear. You can even connect a bluetooth headphone to it to use with some streaming app.
While on wifi, if your mobile phone is connected to the internet too (dont need to be the same wifi, can be even 3g) it will act the same way it would when bluetooth connected yo our phone, but with its own internet access.
This dont mean apps will change their behavior, because most of them are coded to make the requests from your phone, but if you have an app that make direct networks requests, it will send them from your watch without advising or needing your phone.
How to do networks requests on android wear
Just use the same network requests libraries you would use on a normal Android mobile application, like volley, retrofit, okhttp. The code is exactally the same, and by the way, any Android Mobile library works with Android Wear too.

Android as WiFi access point using Wifi rather than 4g

I need to know if this is even possible and if it is how I would go about doing this.
I have a laptop, android phone, and Google ChromeCast HDMI adapter. When I am at home and on the same network as the ChromeCast I am able to broadcast by browser window to the Chromecast and thus watch what I am doing on my TV.
I need a way that when I am away from home and on a network that blocks devices from talking to one another to be able to do the same thing.
In order to do this I believe what I need to be able to do is have my Samsung sIII connect to a WiFi point where it has internet access, then for my computer and ChomeCast to connect to my phone on a completely different class c where they are able to access the internet but also talk to one another regardless of if the external network permits it or not.
I can do this by using the phones built in hotspot, but I don't want to use my phones data plan if there is a network I can connect to in order to use their internet.
In addition to using this while I am with clients to broadcast my browser screen, when I am travelling with my family I would like to be able to stream from my Netflix account however most hotels I have stayed in won't let the chrome device connect to my computer because of the AP isolation. Again, it would be nice to connect to the hotel wifi to stream netflix but to let the chrome device connect to the phone as it's access point so the phone can talk to the ChromeCast.
Any help would be appreciated!
