I have a general question about establishing WiFi connections between B4A and my Android device. I've been using B4A Bridge for a long time now, and it works great as long as I'm at home with my home routers. However, let's say I'm at the Toyota dealership waiting for my car to be serviced. My laptop connects easily to their Wifi, as does my Android device. Opening up B4A Bridge, I get the local IP address and enter it in B4A to make the connection ... but it doesn't connect.
I do understand that both my laptop and B4A Bridge have to be on the same network and same router. But isn't this the case if I connect to the Toyota dealership's WiFi? Wouldn't my laptop and my Android device be on the same router? I'm sure the explanation is simple ... can someone quickly give me one? It would probably help a number of us who don't yet have the best grasp of how WiFi connectivity works. Thanks!
