Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No

Describe the solution you'd like The Wi-Fi peer-to-peer (P2P) APIs allow applications to connect to nearby devices without needing to connect to a network or hotspot.

It looks like apps such as superbeam use wifi direct allowing more efficient file sharing.

It looks as if one device with wifi direct can suffice. whatever, all android devices above 4.0 seem to have this feature.

Additional context Issue #80, somebody pointed out superbeam does the thing w/o hotspot.

Hi. It might not be a good excuse, but I don't have a second device that is Wi-Fi Direct capable, which means I would be unable to test the feature on a real device even if I wanted to work on this.

It turns out I have created a duplicate issue (#144) about the WiFi Direct feature.

As it got some attention, I will keep both open and close when resolved.
