Hello,
I want to create group of 4..10 tablets that are logging some inputs (simple touch events), and send them to a "master" tablet that store and display some values.
- I cannot use the "master" as hotspot, because of some restriction imposed by the network administrator ( don't admit an extra WIFI network, besides the existing one, and don't accept the tablets in his WIFI network)
- the tablets don't have Bluetooth,
so the only possibility is to use WIFI Direct (it's available and tested on all devices).
I started to study the WIFI Direct example, it works, but i have some questions:
1. is it possible to use WIFI Direct for this task ?
2. is it possible to choose the group owner (the master) ?
3. I call the method manager.DiscoverPeers. It will be active as long as the activity is active, or it will stop on other conditions?
4. I see that sometimes the PeersDiscovered event fires, with Sucess=true, but with 0 devices on list
Thank you,
Virgil
