So I'm in a location where I have no possibility of connecting to a WiFi network. I need to somehow connect one Android phone to another to exchange data between them using an app.
My idea was to simulate a WiFi network on one phone and connect to it from the other so I can connect both of them with sockets over the network.
Is this possible?
This capability was added in API level 14

You can also create a peer to peer network using blue tooth.
I'm sure this question has been asked before. You might want to try searching for "android peer to peer network"
