Question

Can I connect a WiFi Direct enabled device to any other device which doesn\'t have WiFi Direct feature but supports WiFi hotspot connection? Does WiFi direct uses specialize

Stephen's answer is great, but I found it's better to get the group info at

WIFI_P2P_CONNECTION_CHANGED_ACTION

...

if (WifiP2pManager.WIFI_P2P_CONNECTION_CHANGED_ACTION.equals(action)) {
    NetworkInfo networkInfo = intent.getParcelableExtra(WifiP2pManager.EXTRA_NETWORK_INFO);
    WifiP2pInfo wifiP2pInfo = intent.getParcelableExtra(WifiP2pManager.EXTRA_WIFI_P2P_INFO);
    if (networkInfo.isConnected() && wifiP2pInfo.groupFormed) {
            if (wifiP2pInfo.isGroupOwner) {
                wifiP2pManager.requestGroupInfo(channel, new WifiP2pManager.GroupInfoListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onGroupInfoAvailable(final WifiP2pGroup wifiP2pGroup) {
                        if (wifiP2pGroup != null) {
                            // clients require these
                            String ssid = wifiP2pGroup.getNetworkName();
                            String passphrase = wifiP2pGroup.getPassphrase();
                            ...
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
...

Because this can make sure the access point is created and current device is the group owner (GO).
