I need some clues how to approach my app. I have android device which provides HotSpot/AccessPoint for other devices. And this device which provides hotspot for others wants to get some data from internet and broadcast this data to devices which are connected to this hotspot. Ofcourse all smartphones must have installed same app.
Is there way to achieve that?
Thanks You!
I have 2 devices and both support Wifi Direct. I want to turn on Wifi direct in both devices and connect to other device from 1st device by getting it's MAC address programmatically.
However, I'm able to list down nearby Wifi Direct devices in my application and make a connection using WifiP2PDevice object which Android provides in callback of peers list using WifiP2P APIs, but here my approach is to construct WifiP2PDevice object by using remote device MAC address directly and trying to connect it with no luck.
Can anyone help me in resolving this issue?
To connect to any device via wifi-direct, each device need to discover nearby peers or services before attempting to connect to make sure that wifi-direct is enabled and discoverable.
From my tests, even if you have the correct MAC address, trying to connect will not work unless peers or services discovery is executed and the device that you are looking for is discoverable / visible.
If the device is discoverable, you can create new WifiP2PDevice or reuse what's returning from the peers list and connect to it.
I hope I got your question correctly. If not, I'm happy to help if you explain further.
Goodluck.
I have successfully created the wifi tethering in android device. I would like to get the details of the devices connected in the wifi tethered device through coding.
I have gone through the link https://stackoverflow.com/a/5319503/4073227. Here i am able to get details of the connected devices. But it returns also the device which was previously connected. How to find the currently connected device information?
can anyone help me?
If you device is rooted, you can get the details through dnsmasq.leases file. Which is usually placed in - /data/misc/dhcp/dnsmasq.leases.
Hope this helps :)
I am connecting different devices with wifi hotspot AP programatically in my android app, How can i detect the clients being connected and disconnected and to the wifi hotspot AP i turned on programmatically ? Is there any callback event in Android API to give information regarding the connection or disconnection events of individual devices ?
Thanks in advance.
I think you need to use WifiP2pDevice
There you can check for available devices, and also if they are connected or not.
Try looking here at the available methods here
EDIT:
This Android Wifi Hotspot Manager Class have sample code to scan /proc/net/arp and ping each known client to detect livelihood.
You can implement that logic in a loop to emulate a Wifi Client disconnect event from driver.
I want to write a program that wants to restrict location updates when the device is in the same wifi network. How would I go about doing that? How do I check if the device is in the same wifi network as earlier?
WifiManager.getConnectionInfo() will give you information about current Wifi network.
