WiFi Direct File Transfer is an open source application that will enable sharing
of data between Android devices running Android 4.0 or higher using a WiFi direct
connection without the use of a separate WiFi access point.This will enable data
transfer between devices without relying on any existing network infrastructure.
This application is intended to provide a much higher speed alternative to Bluetooth
file transfer.

Known Issues:
*A client can only begin a file transfer if it is not the P2P group owner. If the client
is the P2P owner, it cannot open a TCP socket since the Android WiFi direct API does not
provide a mechanism to retrieve the InetAddress (IP address) of any peer other than the
P2P group owner. This issue can be resolved upon finding a means to determine the IP
address of any given peer in the P2P group.
*Every incoming WiFi direct requires explicit user authorization. This seems to be a
limitation on the Android WiFi direct API which does not allow programmatic means of
accepting incoming WiFi direct connection requests.
*Transferred files do not match the original files name or extension.
*Scanning for WiFi direct peers sometimes causes random reboots on the Galaxy S2.
This is not an issue on the Nexus 7. It is unclearif this is caused by a fault in
the program or if it is specific to the device.
*Scanning for WiFi peers randomly takes an unusually long time.
*The server service cannot be shut off via the stop server button.
Upcoming Updates:
*Fix known issues.
*Add progress bar for downloads.
*Revamped GUI.
*Support for file sharing with more than 1 peer.
