hi and thanks erelStart Local Hotspot
Starting from Android 8 there is a public API for starting a local hotspot. Notes: - The hotspot doesn't allow internet connection. - The password and SSID are chosen randomly and cannot be changed. - Debug it with USB debug mode as it will break B4A-Bridge connection. Updates: - Project...
I saw this article, the problem is that the name and password must be fixed and it should not change every time, it should work like the phone's hotspot button, just turning it on is enough for me. It means that the hotspot and internet of the phone should be turned on and the rest should be the same as the previous settings.

**For Oreo & PIE ** I found below way through this:
private WifiManager.LocalOnlyHotspotReservation mReservation;
private boolean isHotspotEnabled = false;
private final int REQUEST_ENABLE_LOCATION_SYSTEM_SETTINGS = 101;
private boolean isLocationPermissionEnable() {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[] {Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION}, 2);
return false;
}
return true;
}
@RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.O)
private void turnOnHotspot() {
if (!isLocationPermissionEnable()) {
return;
}
WifiManager manager = (WifiManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
if (manager != null) {
// Don't start when it started (existed)
manager.startLocalOnlyHotspot(new WifiManager.LocalOnlyHotspotCallback() {
@Override
public void onStarted(WifiManager.LocalOnlyHotspotReservation reservation) {
super.onStarted(reservation);
//Log.d(TAG, "Wifi Hotspot is on now");
mReservation = reservation;
isHotspotEnabled = true;
}
@Override
public void onStopped() {
super.onStopped();
//Log.d(TAG, "onStopped: ");
isHotspotEnabled = false;
}
@Override
public void onFailed(int reason) {
super.onFailed(reason);
//Log.d(TAG, "onFailed: ");
isHotspotEnabled = false;
}
}, new Handler());
}
}
@RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.O)
private void turnOffHotspot() {
if (!isLocationPermissionEnable()) {
return;
}
if (mReservation != null) {
mReservation.close();
isHotspotEnabled = false;
}
}
@RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.O)
private void toggleHotspot() {
if (!isHotspotEnabled) {
turnOnHotspot();
} else {
turnOffHotspot();
}
}
@RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.O)
private void enableLocationSettings() {
LocationRequest mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();
/*mLocationRequest.setInterval(10);

// and check the result in onActivityResult().
resolvable.startResolutionForResult(HotspotActivity.this, REQUEST_ENABLE_LOCATION_SYSTEM_SETTINGS);
} catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException e) {
// Ignore the error.
} catch (ClassCastException e) {
// Ignore, should be an impossible error.
}
break;
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SETTINGS_CHANGE_UNAVAILABLE:
// Location settings are not satisfied. However, we have no way to fix the
// settings so we won't show the dialog.
break;
}
}
});

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:15.0.1'
We can programmatically turn on and off:
setWifiApDisable.invoke(connectivityManager, TETHERING_WIFI);//Have to disable to enable
setwifiApEnabled.invoke(connectivityManager, TETHERING_WIFI, false, mSystemCallback,null);

hi
Do you think this library can be used for this?
