how to get the peer count of each device in a WiFi-Direct environment

Upon requestPeers() or at the discoverPeers() I want to get the peer count of each device available, so that each device will have the peer counts of the devices, they can connect to.

Then I can call the createGroup() method in the device with highest peer count to make the WiFi-Direct group more efficient!

This is just an idea I came up with, is it possible to do?

if so how can I exchange the peer count among the device available?

For the first quesiton, this is my experience.

I have two different devices A and B.

I have tried to set groupOwnerIntent on one of my devices, but it does not work as I thought.

No matter which one I set, A is always the GO.

The Wifi p2p spec said, Wifi Direct computes the GO intent and negotiates which device shall be the GO in the phase of peer discovery.

I think there shall be not only GO intent but also other attributes to determine the GO.

Maybe the GO intent works when the two devices are the same. I am not sure.

For the second question, I think you should connect them first to compute which device has the most number of available peer.
