Starting with API level 14, ICECREAM SANDWITH, Android introduced API for peer to peer communication using Wi-Fi Direct. Since then many applications have been released that use this technology for data transfer and communication between two devices. But most of these have been used for just two-person communication. In this paper we propose to create a peer to peer network using the same technology. This paper focuses on creating a local wireless network of android smartphones using Wi-Fi direct. This paper also defines an algorithm using which each device can get the IP address of each of its peer. This paper will also help those who are trying to create applications on android using Wi-Fi Direct.
