android.net.wifi.aware

Provides classes which allow applications to use Wi-Fi Aware to discover peers and create connections to them.

Using the Wi-Fi Aware APIs, applications can advertise services, discover peers which are advertising services, and connect to them. Wi-Fi Aware is independent of Wi-Fi infrastructure (i.e. a device may or may not be associated with an AP concurrent to using Wi-Fi Aware).

The primary entry point to Wi-Fi Aware capabilities is the WifiAwareManager class, which is acquired by calling Context.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_AWARE_SERVICE)

Some APIs may require the following user permissions:

Note: Not all Android-powered devices support Wi-Fi Aware functionality. If your application only works with Wi-Fi Aware (i.e. it should only be installed on devices which support Wi-Fi Aware), declare so with a <uses-feature> element in the manifest file:

 <manifest ...>
     <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.wifi.aware" />
     ...
 </manifest>

Alternatively, if you application does not require Wi-Fi Aware but can take advantage of it if available, you can perform the check at run-time in your code using hasSystemFeature(String) with FEATURE_WIFI_AWARE:

     getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_WIFI_AWARE)
