Set up a HTTP server on your PC, running your app as a service on Android device, once your Android app detect the Wi-Fi, get data from the PC.

If you already know the IP address of the computer on the local network, the best solution would probably be to write a network server that runs in the background on the PC, and the Android device would create a socket and connect to that server and exchange the necessary data.
