Android Question WiFi Direct: How to get the connecting device name?

[toby]

If DeviceA is the group owner and is expecting connection from both DeviceB and DeviceC, how can DeviceA find out which device, B or C, is connected when the event Manager_ConnectionChanged () is raised?

I tried something similar to getting own device name, but the intent wasn't triggered. I think the following filter isn't correct; could someone show me how to fix it, please?

AddReceiverText(WiFiDirectGetConnectingDeviceNameService, <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.net.wifi.p2p.CONNECTION_CHANGED_ACTION" /> 
</intent-filter>)

TIA

Have you seen any Java code that finds the name of the connected device? I'm not sure that it is transmitted.

This is a solution for a different problem.

Below is an answer (although no one confirmed that it works) to a similar question at Stackoverflow:

When you receive the WIFI_P2P_CONNECTION_CHANGED_ACTION broadcast, if you are on API level 18 or higher, there is an extra in the intent, called EXTRA_WIFI_P2P_GROUP.

EXTRA_WIFI_P2P_GROUP

This returns a WifiP2pGroup on which you can call getClientList(). This gives you a collection of WifiP2pDevices. Once you have a WifiP2pDevice you can just get the field "deviceName".

Please try the attached, untested, update (1.06).

It adds an event named IntentReceived (Intent As Intent).

Handle this event and post the output of:

Log(Intent)
Log(Intent.ExtrasToString)

I will help you extract the available information.

Sorry, it didn't work; the intent wasn't triggered when an incoming connection was made. Test project is attached, so that others could check if I did anything wrong.

I don't see the event sub.
In Service1:

Sub Manager_IntentReceived (Intent As Intent)
Log(Intent)
Log(Intent.ExtrasToString)
End Sub

Sorry, I didn't know failed to see that there is such an event. The device name, zenfone3, is shown.
