Hey guys,

I'm going to be createing a networked Android application, I just want to create a very simple and straight forward application where one user can become a wifi hot-spot while the other user connects to that wifi hot-spot, I don't know much about networking programming, but I have read a lot about networking. I'm just interested in any tutorial websites you guys may know, or any information that will help, I do understand that Android using Java, but Android API does offer somethings that Java doesn't,

I understand this forum is for more "programming" problems, but I just need some help with getting started with Android Network programming, any websites or documents on the web that would help me

Cheers for the help

Here's an post on ad-hoc networks in Android and here's the documentation for Wi-Fi Direct (requires Android 4.0). There's this question and this one on StackOverflow which seem pretty relevant. These might help.

Just a quick question, does android 3.0 have that much different from 4.0 android networking?

Not a ton. 4.0 has WiFi-Direct, network usage, VPN services, and Bluetooth health devices, which 3.0 lacks.

My mobile device HTC desire can turn itself into a wifi hotspot, and a mobile can connect to it with no problem, just needs the pass key, then they are connected just like a router, I just need to program the application to use UDP to send out data to all connected peers that are on the same application :). As I stated above, any information will be appreciated.
