wifi-direct

Is it possibile to change the device name of WiFi direct through the code? I've tried to: private WifiP2pDevice wDevice; wDevice.deviceName = "newName"; But, obviously it doesn't work. Any idea?! user3409573 Following code use Reflection api of Java,It is less preferrable due to lack of efficiency but Android does not provide another way so, You can use it works with charm : try { Method m = wpm.getClass().getMethod( "setDeviceName", new Class[] { WifiP2pManager.Channel.class, String.class, WifiP2pManager.ActionListener.class }); m.invoke(WifiP2pManager wifimngr,WifiP2pManager.Channel

I want to look at data coming from a Nintendo 3DS on an Android device. The 3DS will automatically try and connect to any router with the SSID of "Nintendo_3DS_continuous_scan_000". I know it should be possible, since tethering apps do essentially the same thing. I've tried looking at Wifi Direct or Wifi P2P , but so far I haven't seen any option to set an SSID. Am I looking at the wrong library for this project? EDIT: I found a library here that handles the Access Points. I've successfully tested it once now, so I'm off to try crazy things.

I've got a problem using wifi direct. I managed to connect 2 devices and send data from the client to the group owner, because the group owner ip is the one that everybody knows. I managed also to find out the IP of the client and pass it to the group owner but I can't send data from the group owner to the client, even if it should be simmetric. I'm using Intent and startService() to send data and AsynkTask for receive. Using only 2 devices I noticed that the client IP is always the same (192.168.49.10), so I give it to the intent manually. Here's the method where I'm trying to create the

I am currently experimenting with WiFi-Direct (WiFiP2p) for a project I'm working on and wanted to know if one can create bridge between groups, thus joining them together? Based upon the white paper released by the WiFi Alliance, it should be possible (though "The P2P Specification does not describe the mechanism for this capability – implementation is specific to the vendor"). I have looked through the internet and have found some answers ( this , this , etc.) but I feel that none are particularly conclusive. Looking at Andoid's API hasn't helped much either. The scenario I'm trying to

I am trying to connect two devices using Wifi Direct, but i want to implement programmatically not by user initiated. And for that i have to change Device's WifiDirect's name like below picture : Now discover peers using following methods : wifiP2pManager.discoverPeers(channel, new WifiP2pManager.ActionListener() { @Override public void onSuccess() { Log.d(TAG, "onSuccess"); } @Override public void onFailure(int reason) { Log.d(TAG, "onFailure"); } }); Connect to particular peer via following code : public static void connectPeer(WifiP2pDevice device, WifiP2pManager manager, Channel channel,

I'm a bit confused about the new Wi-Fi Direct feature in Android ICS. Is it possible to create a P2P group with multiple devices, and send multicast packets from a source peer to the other peers? Unfortunately, I don't have any devices that are Wi-Fi Direct enabled, so I can only browse the examples that I find online. In these examples, I could only find peers establishing 1-on-1 connections. So, is multicasting possible? Is it possible to create a p2p group with multiple devices ? Based on the Industry white paper and the technical specs, yes it is possible to create a group with multiple

I'm currently trying to connect two phones which know each other's MAC address via Wi-Fi Direct, and stumbled upon the following problem: The MAC address, which I receive from WifiManager wifiMan = (WifiManager) this .getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE); WifiInfo wifiInf = wifiMan.getConnectionInfo(); MAC_ADDRESS = wifiInf.getMacAddress(); is slightly different than the one I receive from the WifiP2pManager when discovering and requesting peers. Example: a0:xx:xx:... turns into a2:xx:xx.... Does anyone know why? I did not find any way to get the "Wi-Fi Direct MAC address", and as I thought
