Since I am newbie in Android, I don't know how to connect Android (2.1 on HTC Desire) with PPPoE using wifi connection.
So Please anybody know solution, then kindly help me.
If you want to use PPPOE client with android, you have to first root your android phone, otherwise, the application will not work.
The other method is to use your modem in PPPOE mode rather than bridge mode. In Bridge mode, you have to have a PPPOE dialer installed to your device to access the internet.
In PPPOE mode, the user id and password are punched in the modem itself, so you have to just provide the wifi (if enabled) password and you are connected to the internet. But there is a trick, some ISP's modem do not work, when switched to the PPPOE mode and have to be re-configured again.
yes you can...
there is a App called WiFipppoe...

As far as I know, PPPoE would be how you would authenticate to your service provider. Wifi just acts as a bridge between the router and the wireless device. The router is what should authenticate via PPPoE. Your device should connect to the Wireless Connection, that would put you on the same network as the router, the router authenticates to the service provider via PPPoE over the WAN.
Wifi is just a bridge between your device and the router. Now some routers have Wifi built in, but its like a Printer/Copier/Scanner, 3 devices jammed in to 1.

Say I have a laptop (Windows 10) and an Android phone. The laptop does not have an internet connection and the Android does not have an internet connection.
I have an Xamarin app that uses a C# Web API that is deployed to the laptop (for testing). How can I connect the mobile to the laptop without any form of internet connection? I believe I have two options:
1) USB cable
2) Bluetooth
I believe I have to install a wireless hotspot on the laptop and then a reverse tethering on the Android.
Have I understood this correctly? Do I have to do this regardless of whether I use a USB cable or a Bluetooth connection.
Tethering is the name given to a mobile that acts as a hotspot. It make use of a network interface (Wifi, Bluetooth, USB port acting as Ethernet...) to share internet connection through the selected interface.
As you'll note I'm not incluiding mobile data in the list. Mobile data is used to connect to Internet. So your mobile is capable of connecting to internet via mobile data and share it via any other interface, i.e. Wifi, Bluetooth and USB (Ethernet)
At least in my mobile im able to just enable Tethering configuring it from Settings -> Wifi connections -> Share internet. Here I can switch on/off the desired interface: USB, bluetooth or Wifi. I can enable just one, both or even all of those
As far as I know a Xamarin app is an android app that embeddes a website and, optionaly but highly common, uses a server as an endpoint (your laptop in this case), also known as API.
So as you ask you don't want to have internet connectivity, all the connections must be made in a local network. To do so you could just enable tethering and turn off mobile data on your mobile. Then on your laptop, connect to your new network over wifi, enable ethernet or connect via bluetooth, depending on your choose.
Of course, you'll have to handle firewall on your laptop to ensure connections are made successfuly. But you should be able at last to ping each other.
Essentially, my android phone's USB port is broken, so the only way to debug is over WiFi. Unfortunately, I hadn't authorized the device on my computer back when the USB was still working.
As soon as you are connected to the same network you can do the interface between mobile and your computer/PC by using IP Address.
Did I get you correctly?
I develop app which contains a client and a server side, so I need to test work between them. I have a real android device and I want android device to connects to emulator. I'm working at work sometimes(if I have free time of course) and at home. I have the WiFi router at home and I can connect to the real device by emulator(TCP listener running on the real device), but not vise versa(I don't know which exactly IP to use). But at work I have only hot-spot WiFi point without router. My android device connects to it fine. Even more ADB can connect to the device when adbWireless running on it. But it doesn't work, I can't connect to tcp listener in any cases. The difference between home and work is existence of WiFi router. Are there any solutions? If not why Android debug bridge(ADB) can connect to adbWireless? Thanks.
I solved the problem. I run tethering on my real device and run the server on it. Then I use a program Connection state viewer there is a link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.nolesh.android.connectionstateviewer It helps me to find IP address. After that I start the emulator and the client side on it. So I connect to my server by given IP.
Is it possible to connect two android phones (rooted) with wifi programatically and exchange data?
I know it is possible to do tethering using wifi-android-tether. But i need to establish the connection, and exchange the data, all through my android application. User intervention like switching on the android tether app manually is not allowed.
SO basically its like, if i run my app on two droid phones, they should do the following,
Detect that they have wifi.
DEtect that the other phone has its wifi on.
Establish a connection ( similar to a PAN in bluetooth ).
Exchange some data.
Use WiFi Direct. The sample codes in the SDK package will do for testing Peer-Peer connectivity.
I have a Android phone connected with host computer with USB cable. ADB runs well and I can debug application on phone. The only problem is that the App requires special network setup which I can reach on host but not mobile. Is there a way to let the device send all network operations through ADB and Host network?
What you're looking for is known as reverse tethering. See https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/2298/how-to-set-up-reverse-tethering-over-usb for a solution.
Have you tried sharing your internet connection on your laptop, and connect your phone through it?. Make sure you disable data connection on your phone to assure you are connected through WiFi
