Well, there is no joining of groups or peering or connecting anything. It is still in the broadcast/discovery phase when this happens. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/p2p/nsd/WifiP2pDnsSdServiceInfo.html Some more info found here: http://www.thinktube.com/tech/android/wifi-direct "Service discovery After a P2P device has been discovered, and before establishing a group with it, it can be asked to describe the services it provides. This is an optional frame exchange which supports different service description protocols, such as "Bonjour" (DNS-SD), UPnP or WS-Discovery. After that, the application or user may choose to connect to a device based on its name or provided services, e.g. a camera may automatically connect to a display to show its photos, or a user may choose to connect to "My Printer" to print a document." _______________________________________________ Guardian-dev mailing list Post: [email protected] List info: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/guardian-dev To Unsubscribe Send email to: [email protected] Or visit: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/options/guardian-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com You are subscribed as: [email protected]
