Android Wifi Direct Soft AP Configuration

I've been playing around with the Wifi Direct API on ICS and i'm a bit stuck.

In the API there is a method called createGroup that creates a legacy software based access point on the phone. This is great and works but i can't seem to find any way to change the password or any configuration options for it! Does anyone know how you configure it?

Solution

  • Found out you can't configure it. It picks a random AP name and a random password.
