Public constructors

Builder

Added in API level 29

Builder(
    discoverySession: DiscoverySession, 
    peerHandle: PeerHandle)

Create a builder for WifiAwareNetworkSpecifier used in requests to set up a Wi-Fi Aware connection with a specific peer.

To set up a connection to any peer or to multiple peers use Builder(android.net.wifi.aware.PublishDiscoverySession).

Parameters
`discoverySession`	DiscoverySession: A Wi-Fi Aware discovery session in whose context the connection is created. This value cannot be `null`.
`peerHandle`	PeerHandle: The handle of the peer to which the Wi-Fi Aware connection is requested. The peer is discovered through Wi-Fi Aware discovery. The handle can be obtained through `DiscoverySessionCallback.onServiceDiscovered(PeerHandle, byte[], java.util.List)` or `DiscoverySessionCallback.onMessageReceived(PeerHandle, byte[])`. This value cannot be `null`.

Builder

Added in API level 31

Builder(publishDiscoverySession: PublishDiscoverySession)

Create a builder for WifiAwareNetworkSpecifier used in requests to set up a Wi-Fi Aware connection. This configuration allows connections to any peers or to multiple peers (as opposed to only a specific peer with Builder(android.net.wifi.aware.DiscoverySession,android.net.wifi.aware.PeerHandle)).

Multiple connections can be triggered by this configuration and using a single request via ConnectivityManager.requestNetwork(NetworkRequest, ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback) and similar methods. Each successful connection will be signaled via the standard Connectivity Manager mechanisms - ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback.onAvailable(Network). Calling ConnectivityManager.unregisterNetworkCallback(ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback) will terminate all connections.

Parameters
`publishDiscoverySession`	PublishDiscoverySession: This value cannot be `null`.

Public methods

build

Added in API level 29

fun build(): WifiAwareNetworkSpecifier

Create a android.net.NetworkRequest.Builder#setNetworkSpecifier(NetworkSpecifier) for a WiFi Aware connection (link) to the specified peer. The android.net.NetworkRequest.Builder#addTransportType(int) should be set to android.net.NetworkCapabilities#TRANSPORT_WIFI_AWARE.

The default builder constructor will initialize a NetworkSpecifier which requests an open (non-encrypted) link. To request an encrypted link use the setPskPassphrase(java.lang.String) or setPmk(byte[]) builder methods.

Return
`WifiAwareNetworkSpecifier`	A `NetworkSpecifier` to be used to construct `android.net.NetworkRequest.Builder#setNetworkSpecifier(NetworkSpecifier)` to pass to `android.net.ConnectivityManager#requestNetwork(android.net.NetworkRequest, * android.net.ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback)` [or other varieties of that API]. This value cannot be `null`.

setChannelFrequencyMhz

Added in API level 33

fun setChannelFrequencyMhz(
    channelInMhz: Int, 
    required: Boolean
): WifiAwareNetworkSpecifier.Builder

Configure the Channel frequency for the Wi-Fi Aware connection being requested. This method is optional - if not called, then channelInMhz to use will be decided by firmware. Only use this when WifiAwareManager.isSetChannelOnDataPathSupported() is true, otherwise the set channelInMhz will be ignored.

Parameters
`channelInMhz`	Int: Channel frequency in Mhz. Value is 0 or greater
`required`	Boolean: If set to true, Channel request is specified and must be respected. If the firmware cannot honor the request then the data-path request is rejected. Otherwise, requested channelInMhz is a recommendation and may be overridden by the firmware.

Return
`WifiAwareNetworkSpecifier.Builder`	the current `Builder` builder, enabling chaining of builder methods. This value cannot be `null`.

setDataPathSecurityConfig

Added in API level 33

fun setDataPathSecurityConfig(securityConfig: WifiAwareDataPathSecurityConfig): WifiAwareNetworkSpecifier.Builder

Configure security config for the Wi-Fi Aware connection being requested. This method is optional - if not called, then an Open (unencrypted) connection will be created. Note: this method is the superset of the setPmk(byte[]) and setPskPassphrase(java.lang.String).

Parameters
`securityConfig`	WifiAwareDataPathSecurityConfig: The (optional) security config to be used to encrypt the link. This value cannot be `null`.

Return
`WifiAwareNetworkSpecifier.Builder`	the current `Builder` builder, enabling chaining of builder methods. This value cannot be `null`.

setPmk

Added in API level 30

fun setPmk(pmk: ByteArray): WifiAwareNetworkSpecifier.Builder

Configure the PMK for the Wi-Fi Aware connection being requested. This method is optional - if not called, then an Open (unencrypted) connection will be created. Note: Use setDataPathSecurityConfig(android.net.wifi.aware.WifiAwareDataPathSecurityConfig) to avoid interoperability issues when devices support different cipher suites by explicitly specifying a cipher suite as opposed to relying on a default cipher suite.

Parameters
`pmk`	ByteArray: A PMK (pairwise master key, see IEEE 802.11i) specifying the key to use for encrypting the data-path. Use the `setPskPassphrase(java.lang.String)` to specify a Passphrase. This value cannot be `null`.

Return
`WifiAwareNetworkSpecifier.Builder`	the current `Builder` builder, enabling chaining of builder methods. This value cannot be `null`.

setPort

Added in API level 29

fun setPort(port: Int): WifiAwareNetworkSpecifier.Builder

Configure the port number which will be used to create a connection over this link. This configuration should only be done on the server device, e.g. the device creating the java.net.ServerSocket.

Notes:

The server device must be the Publisher device!
The port information can only be specified on secure links, specified using setDataPathSecurityConfig(android.net.wifi.aware.WifiAwareDataPathSecurityConfig)

Parameters
`port`	Int: A positive integer indicating the port to be used for communication. Value is between 0 and 65535 inclusive

Return
`WifiAwareNetworkSpecifier.Builder`	the current `Builder` builder, enabling chaining of builder methods. This value cannot be `null`.

setPskPassphrase

Added in API level 29

fun setPskPassphrase(pskPassphrase: String): WifiAwareNetworkSpecifier.Builder

Configure the PSK Passphrase for the Wi-Fi Aware connection being requested. This method is optional - if not called, then an Open (unencrypted) connection will be created. Note: Use setDataPathSecurityConfig(android.net.wifi.aware.WifiAwareDataPathSecurityConfig) to avoid interoperability issues when devices support different cipher suites by explicitly specifying a cipher suite as opposed to relying on a default cipher suite. WifiAwareDataPathSecurityConfig.Builder.Builder(int)

Parameters
`pskPassphrase`	String: The (optional) passphrase to be used to encrypt the link. Use the `setPmk(byte[])` to specify a PMK. This value cannot be `null`.

Return
`WifiAwareNetworkSpecifier.Builder`	the current `Builder` builder, enabling chaining of builder methods. This value cannot be `null`.

setTransportProtocol

Added in API level 29

fun setTransportProtocol(transportProtocol: Int): WifiAwareNetworkSpecifier.Builder

Configure the transport protocol which will be used to create a connection over this link. This configuration should only be done on the server device, e.g. the device creating the java.net.ServerSocket for TCP.

Notes:

The server device must be the Publisher device!
The transport protocol information can only be specified on secure links, specified using setDataPathSecurityConfig(android.net.wifi.aware.WifiAwareDataPathSecurityConfig).

The transport protocol number is assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) https://www.iana.org/assignments/protocol-numbers/protocol-numbers.xhtml.

Parameters
`transportProtocol`	Int: The transport protocol to be used for communication. Value is between 0 and 255 inclusive

Return
`WifiAwareNetworkSpecifier.Builder`	the current `Builder` builder, enabling chaining of builder methods. This value cannot be `null`.
