WiFi direct automatic connection #26

The automatic hotspot feature works quite well and is a very good solution to not have to manually create a hotspot every time. However, I find that an automatic WiFi direct connection would be a great addition to this app, especially in terms of quick transfer of files and ease of use.
I don't mean for this to be an absolute priority, because there is already the automatic hotspot feature.
However, being able to select a file to send and then have a friend scan a QR code/(other ways) and immediately begin the download would make the operation of transferring just a couple file quite a lot quicker and more hassle-free.

@gvlfm78 I am absolutely into this idea as I recently figured out that hotspot feature doesn't work as it's supposed to on Android Oreo which I just upgraded my phone to. I will start work on this as soon as possible. Thank you 👍
