An Android Application on Wi-Fi Direct

The number of smartphone users in modern times have skyrocketed enabling a multitude of technologies to house themselves over these devices. With the introduction of Wi-Fi Direct (WiFi P2P) into the Android platform, devices are offered the capability to connect to and exchange content over a fast and reliable wireless connection. Some scenarios may require the ability to set up a temporary communications network on portable devices over the fly, regardless of their locality. To the end, the objective of this paper is to bring about a custom Wi-Fi Direct adaptation to support the creation of a multi-hop like network that enables users to communicate information across multiple Android devices.
