wifi-direct

I want to transfer files between 2 devices via Wi-Fi Direct. I wanted to do the same thing as in WifiDirectDemo, but I can't transfer data from the group owner to the other device, so I tried this: each time when one of the devices clicks connect, the other device is set as the group owner, so on each connection the device who asks for connection is always the client and can send data. The problem with this is that Android always remembers the first group created and therefore its group owner. In other words, what I did only works the first time unless I go to settings and forget the group

I am experimenting with Android's Wi-Fi Direct (or P2P if you prefer). I thought it was working very nicely between my two phones, but I realized I am encountering issues with the WifiP2pManager.discoverPeers() and/or WifiP2pManager.requestPeers() . I have observed these results: No peers are discovered and no callbacks are fired for a good 1+ minute. I observe this through the Wi-Fi Direct portion of the Android Wi-Fi settings as well. This is odd because sometimes the discovery completes almost immediately. I have a Roku device and phone B sitting next to phone A. While all are connected to

Is Wi-Fi Direct connection possible within iOS devices and among Wi-Fi Direct enabled devices? The objective is to enable communication between an iOS device and another device (not necessarily another iOS device. It could be Android, Mac, PC) without the presence of any controllers. (WAPs). iOS devices can connect to an ad-hoc network, and if they do so they will have full wireless network capabilities. The limitation is with creating an ad-hoc network from the device itself, which is not allowed/not possible. An alternative would be to use the GameKit/Game Center API which uses Bluetooth to

This question already has an answer here: Is it possible, in principle, for an Android device to interface with an iPhone over Bluetooth/GameKit? 7 answers First of all I am an Android developer, so the question goes to all the iOS developers. Is it possible to achieve an Android <-> iPhone/iPad direct communication ? Some claim it is not possible, others claim it is. I guess two possible technologies would be Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi Direct. Wi-Fi Direct is not recommended because it is not supported by Gingerbread and as far as I know, it is not supported by iPhone either (maybe iPhone 6, as I

I'm trying to write an app that will start casting the screen from an Android phone to a TV via miracast. I'm using an HDMI dongle since the TV in question doesn't natively support miracast. I have been trying the code here , but it needs an Application ID which I have got following these steps . My question is, the instructions seem to indicate that I need to register the miracast dongle so it will talk to an unpublished 'debug' app. However, only Google Cast devices are mentioned and that isn't the same protocol as miracast. Do I still need to register the dongle? Is there a simpler way of

I have two+ Android devices. I would like the devices to send instructions to the other devices using Wi-Fi Direct, while at the same time being able to access the internet via their cellular data connection. It seems that using the Wi-Fi Direct interface is being treated as the primary connection, disabling the other connections, just like how Wi-Fi disables the cellular data connection. How can I programmatically allow both to operate at the same time? Currently the Wi-Fi Direct receiver is implemented according to Google's Android Developer documents. I was under the assumption that I could

i am trying to connect two android devices using WIFI direct and i was successful. But the problem is the second device has to accept the a connection prompt after the other device initiates the connection. It is undesirable for what i am trying to achieve. I saw a few post here in stack overflow itself saying that currently its not possible. But came across an app called SUPERBEAM which user WIFI direct but without the prompt. A search in google gave me the following link from xda forum which says SuperBeam creates an access point using Android's WiFi direct API's. This essentially works like

As far as I know, essentially WIFI direct is enabled by a soft AP. My question: can the underlying WIFI module work as a WIFI station and as a WIFI direct endpoint simultaneously? That means, we hope that the WIFI module can communicate with a mobile phone using WIFI direct, and at the same time connect to a router as a WIFI station. Is it possible? and how widely and strongly is this case supported in technology? Halim Qarroum You can if your wifi driver supports multi-role . This feature, available in some wifi chip (e.g TI's wl1271 ), allows you to use one wifi chip for different roles. We
