Android: Establish "wi-fi Direct" Connection With Networked Devices

Was going through Android documentation and had few doubts: Using 'Wi-Fi direct' in Android 4.0+, is it possible to establish connection pragmatically with NON 'Wi-Fi direct' enab

Solution 1:

I am using an APP named FileDrop which I think has the similar feature set you are looking for.

This is how it works: 4.1 based phone becomes GO and generates a Wi-Fi password to allow older phone to connect to it using legacy Wi-Fi just like connecting to a Wi-Fi access point. You can also use QR scanning instead of manual key-in of the password.

I hope you can get a sample code from them.

Sorry for no real help.
