Android: How to get current device WiFi-direct name

Question

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 WiFiManager, WiFiInfo, and more with no success.

Answer 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.

 @Override
 public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
     WifiP2pDevice device = intent.getParcelableExtra(WifiP2pManager.EXTRA_WIFI_P2P_DEVICE);
     String thisDeviceName = device.deviceName;
 }
