Check device and wifi capability for Multicast / Google Nearby Connection #157

This is more a feature-request than a bug... I would like to be able to check programmatically whether the current device and the connected wifi is capable of sending and receiving messages with Nearby-Connections. Is there a way to find out whether multicast is enabled in the network?

I don't know of a standard way to do this unfortunately. It is a property of the network setup and not something the device can easily query.
