Right now there is no "real" P2P possible on Android using the official SDK APIs.
In case of Wifi there is no support of Ad-Hoc. You could try to use a multicast approach where you try first to discover which devices are in the WLAN. Problem with multicast/broadcast on Wifi is that your network performance gets impacted very fast when you add the number of clients in the network. Also the type of traffic in the WLAN influences the throughput. If you think about using a central server then I would not all your setup "P2P" anymore. -- 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.
