If you want to communicate within a wireless LAN (using infrastructure mode on Wifi) you can come up with your own discovery protocol.

Current Android SDK has no support for Wifi Adhoc, but you can get it running on platform level (or wait till it's supported). -- Roman Baumgaertner Sr. SW Engineer-OSDC ·T· · ·Mobile· stick together The views, opinions and statements in this email are those of the author solely in their individual capacity, and do not necessarily represent those of T-Mobile USA, Inc.
