This is wrong. Wi-fi direct has always been possible with Android phones. Android even supports wi-fi direct connections simultaneously with wifi ap connections. Abdroid also supports the new wi-fi aware, euch simplifies initial contact via broadcasts.
I am not sure why the device manufacturers wouldn't implement it. Maybe they target iPhone first as the more premium users (which might only be true in the US), and then think they cannot support that feature for lowly Android users.
If enough devices supported this, Apple may be incentivised to follow?
- xp84 2y agoIf this is possible without any further APIs needed in Android, you should develop the next generation of the eye-fi type of concept which does what OP wants. You'll make a killing, and I agree, it's the kind of thing which theoretically could force Apple to at minimum steal your idea for their platform, or maybe if they're feeling generous provide an API for developers.
