Transfer Data between Android devices using wifi direct?
I have recently implement wifi direct into my project,my aim is pass string value between two wifidirect connected devices when some of my app condition satisfies.right now i have listed all peers and also made connection between the selected peer.what my idea is to pass a json file between the devices.so before try to execute that idea i try to pass a image file between two devices.i followed the steps from the android wifidirect tutorial.listing peers and the connection between the peers is success full but i cant pass the data between the devices.the follwing is my code. FileTransferService.java
package jing.app.directwifi;

Socket socket = new Socket();
int port = intent.getExtras().getInt(EXTRAS_GROUP_OWNER_PORT);
try {
// Log.d(WiFiDirectActivity.TAG, "Opening client socket - ");
socket.bind(null);
socket.connect((new InetSocketAddress(host, port)), SOCKET_TIMEOUT);

These are files used in my code .form the tutorial i have found that
new FileServerAsyncTask(getApplicationContext()) .execute();
where the the incomming data is begin accepted so when i need to execute this asyn thread,so anyone help me in which portion i have made the mistake.how can i transfer the file between devices .

The android code from the demo wifi direct project is able to pass file is unidirectional. ie. you can send file from client to server only. You need furthur modifications to make it work in both direction.
EDIT 2:
For that you need to know the IP address of both connected peers. Use the following function which I made following various sources with my modifications wherever appropriate.
public static String getIpAddress() {
try {
List<NetworkInterface> interfaces = Collections
.list(NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces());
/*
* for (NetworkInterface networkInterface : interfaces) { Log.v(TAG,
* "interface name " + networkInterface.getName() + "mac = " +
* getMACAddress(networkInterface.getName())); }
*/
for (NetworkInterface intf : interfaces) {
if (!getMACAddress(intf.getName()).equalsIgnoreCase(
Globals.thisDeviceAddress)) {
// Log.v(TAG, "ignore the interface " + intf.getName());
// continue;
}
if (!intf.getName().contains("p2p"))
continue;
Log.v(TAG,
intf.getName() + " " + getMACAddress(intf.getName()));
List<InetAddress> addrs = Collections.list(intf
.getInetAddresses());
for (InetAddress addr : addrs) {
// Log.v(TAG, "inside");
if (!addr.isLoopbackAddress()) {
// Log.v(TAG, "isnt loopback");
String sAddr = addr.getHostAddress().toUpperCase();
Log.v(TAG, "ip=" + sAddr);
boolean isIPv4 = InetAddressUtils.isIPv4Address(sAddr);
if (isIPv4) {
if (sAddr.contains("192.168.49.")) {
Log.v(TAG, "ip = " + sAddr);
return sAddr;
}
}
}
}
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
Log.v(TAG, "error in parsing");
} // for now eat exceptions
Log.v(TAG, "returning empty ip address");
return "";
}
public static String getMACAddress(String interfaceName) {
try {
List<NetworkInterface> interfaces = Collections
.list(NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces());
for (NetworkInterface intf : interfaces) {
if (interfaceName != null) {
if (!intf.getName().equalsIgnoreCase(interfaceName))
continue;
}
byte[] mac = intf.getHardwareAddress();
if (mac == null)
return "";
StringBuilder buf = new StringBuilder();
for (int idx = 0; idx < mac.length; idx++)
buf.append(String.format("%02X:", mac[idx]));
if (buf.length() > 0)
buf.deleteCharAt(buf.length() - 1);
return buf.toString();
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
} // for now eat exceptions
return "";
/*
* try { // this is so Linux hack return
* loadFileAsString("/sys/class/net/" +interfaceName +
* "/address").toUpperCase().trim(); } catch (IOException ex) { return
* null; }
*/

I think the way you initialize client makes the problem.
You need to call this
new FileServerAsyncTask(getApplicationContext()).execute();
after the connection is established and check if it's a client.
Now you are creating a client socket only if it is a server(group owner) and always when you call to get a MAC address.
So on the client side you are not intializing the socket and so not able to receive the file.
Once check the WifiDirect sample demo provided in the SDK, you may get more idea.
