I am trying to develop an android application that can exchange data on peer to peer connection with other devices without server. So please suggest how can I do this. Thank you

Answer 1

Java provides ServerSocket and Socket to communicate b/w devices. One of the device you can make as server and other device you can make as client and communicate b/w 'em without introducing server hosted on some machine.

The Other and better option is Using Wi-Fi Peer-to-Peer. WifiP2pManager help you to achieve your purpose.Here is an example.
