Android: How To Get Current Device Wifi-direct Name

In a P2P setting, I understand how to get another device's name, but how do I get my own device's name? (the one displayed in WiFi-direct under settings). I have checked WiFiManage

Solution 1:

After you turn on wifi on your device, it is send a WIFI_P2P_THIS_DEVICE_CHANGED_ACTION broadcast. You can catch this with a broadcast receiver and you can get a WifiP2pDevice object, that is your device.

@OverridepublicvoidonReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
     WifiP2pDevicedevice= intent.getParcelableExtra(WifiP2pManager.EXTRA_WIFI_P2P_DEVICE);
     StringthisDeviceName= device.deviceName;
 }

Solution 2:

Try this code:

publicstaticString getHostName(String defValue) {
    try {
        Method getString = Build.class.getDeclaredMethod("getString", String.class);
        getString.setAccessible(true);
        return getString.invoke(null, "net.hostname").toString();
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        return defValue;
    }
}

Solution 3:

Simply in your broadcast receiver,

if (WifiP2pManager.WIFI_P2P_THIS_DEVICE_CHANGED_ACTION.equals(action)) { 
        WifiP2pDevice myDevice =(WifiP2pDevice)intent.getParcelableExtra(WifiP2pManager.EXTRA_WIFI_P2P_DEVICE);
        Log.d("Wifi Direct: My Device",myDevice.devicename); 
    }
