Connecting a PC with android cellphone through wif-fi network
 
Hey,

I'm a very experienced Java programmer, have a very basic knowledge about android and java networking.

I need a basic idea about how to make a desktop application that connects to android cellphone through wi-fi ? What classes should I use ?
Please refer me to tutorials if possible. Thanks.

Hi -

There are several different ways you can go.

Strong suggestion:

1. Get your "desktop to connect to Android over wi-fi" manually.

2. If you can't do it yourself, by hand, you're certainly not going to be able to get a Java program to do it.

3. Otherwise, if you successfully "connect", then:

a) think about what specific steps you did by hand that you might wish to automate in your program(s)

b) think about what other steps should be left as configuration issues for the end user

c) post back a new thread with any specific questions about how to program the step(s) you wish to automate

d) include the details of you accomplished the same step(s) manually
