two-way-wifidirect

This repository will hold an example project that demonstrates how we could communicate between two Android devices using Socket NIO and WiFiDirect. The base code was taken from here.

How to run it

• Install this app on two Android device (WiFi Direct dosent work on the simulator)
• Turn on WiFi Direct from the Settings -> Wi-Fi -> Advanced Settings -> Wi-Fi Direct
• As soon as the app installs on the device it starts looking for Peers

• Clicking on available device will initiate the connection
• Once connection is successful you should see two buttons Disconnect and Send Message
• Clicking on Disconnect with disconnect the channel and start looking for peers again
• Clicking on Send Message will send a sample message to the connected device.
