WiFi P2P network in Android Things

2017-11-29 08:07 Antonio La Marra imported from Stackoverflow

I would like to create a P2P WiFi network using Android Things (5.1) and a couple of Raspberry Pi 3 or alternatively using Bluetooth. I followed the guide in the Android Developer section https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/wifip2p.html, so my MainActivity looks like:

private class MainActtivity { private WifiP2pManager mManager; .... @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstances) { mManager = (WifiP2pManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_P2P_SERVICE); .... } }

However when I try to run the app, with WiFI enabled, the SystemServiceRegistry shows a message stating

No service published for: wifip2p
and the WifiP2pManager is not retrieved.

How can I solve this issue? Does anybody know if it is possible to create a WiFi P2P network using WiFi Direct and Android Things?

  • How to retrieve Bluetooth Core Specification in C#

    As the title says. I'm using C# to develop a WinRT (Windows Runtime) application. As part of my program, some of the commands I need to send and receive are over the size that is allowed in Bluetooth Core Spec version 4.0 and 4.1. (>20 bytes)

    As such, I want to lock certain options away from the user as attempting to send a larger value will break the connection and requires a power-reset. Is there any way to retrieve the current Bluetooth Core Specification of the connected device? Or, finding out the negotiated MTU size the devices have decided on?

  • iOS11 - "Turn on Bluetooth" prompt not working

    I am using bluetooth in my app to work with iBeacons (Location Services)

    Since iOS11, and the new functionality brought in Control Center, my bluetooth prompts don't show when turning bluetooth off via Control Center.

    But when I turn bluetooth off in the Settings App, the prompt does appear.

    I'm setting CBCentralManagerOptionShowPowerAlertKey to be YES.

    Here is the code where I'm initialising the CBCentralManager:

    _bluetoothManager =[[CBCentralManager alloc]
                    initWithDelegate:self
                    queue:dispatch_get_main_queue()
                    options:@{CBCentralManagerOptionShowPowerAlertKey: @(YES)}];

    When getting the bluetooth state from centralManagerDidUpdateState:(CBCentralManager *)central, I'm getting the same OFF state when turning bluetooth off from both the Settings App and Control Center. But the prompt only appears when turning off via Settings.

    How can I get the "Turn on Bluetooth" prompt to work when turning Bluetooth off via Control Center?

    The only workaround that I can think of is to set CBCentralManagerOptionShowPowerAlertKey to be NO and then create a custom dialog to open the Settings App. It's not possible to open direct to the bluetooth settings page on iOS 11.

  • Bluetooth controlller kill switch

    My 3yr old just got a razor force drifter and it has a little more power than he is use to. So I’m waiting to wire up a killswitch. My first thought was a rpi zero w as I have a few laying around but is reallly over kill for just a kill switch. So started lookin going into a andruinl uno, relay board and hm10(since it uses ble and will function with the iPhone). Then I got to thinking thatif I did use a rpi I could report back speed, battery life, gps and a lot of other stuff I don’t kno need but as a tinkerer well why not. So my question is how woulld you go about this? I’m a computer programmer by trade so coding a interface for iOS won’t be a issues as for schematics what makes sense to you. If I do this I will document the entire thingthing and provide step by step what I did slot with providing source code. My only concern is if I use something like the pi zero w what kind of Bluetooth range does it have? Would I be better ff using rpi 3 or adding a long range antenna? Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

  • Android Wi-Fi Direct completely remove a connection then new connection

    I am developing a Wi-FI Direct android app, I can connect and share information with 2 device. So discover peers and connection with a peer and data share are working.

    I have to do a "random walk" with 10 device, so I have to connect 2 random device over and over again.

    The problem is, 2 device connected successfully then removeGroup, after this one of these devices cant connect with the other 8 device. The other problem is they might cant discover peers after connection. So after a successfull connection the devices have to be ready for a new connection.

    I think the real problem is, how to completely remove a connection with the other peer and then rediscover peers.

    Can someone give me advice on how to completely remove a connection with the other peer?

    Thanks
