Ayanda

Ayanda Ayanda is an Open Source Android Library that makes it easy to discover nearby devices and share files through a simple API. Ayanda is meant to detect nearby devices using WiFi and Bluetooth technolgy.

Usage

The example app in shows how to use Ayanda to discover devices on the local network, through Wifi Direct and through Bluetooth classic. Actions to be taken when nearby devices are discovered by each discovery method are defined by user defined interfaces.

x: Discovering Devices on Local Network */

efine how to respond when nearby devices are discovered on network
 iLan = new ILan() {
@Override
public void deviceListChanged() {
    // Clear the list of discovered peers
    peers.clear();
    peerNames.clear();
    peersAdapter.clear();
    // update list with all peers within range
    peers.addAll(a.lanGetDeviceList());
    for (int i = 0; i < peers.size(); i++) {
        Lan.Device d = (Lan.Device) peers.get(i);
        peersAdapter.add(d.getName());
    }
}


new Ayanda(this, null, iLan, null);
nDiscover();
NFO: lanDiscover() automatically makes an HTTP connection to services discovered

To share a file using NSD (LAN)

hare a file to nearby devices through LAN */

ng filePath = "sdcard/somepic.jpg";
earbyMedia is a helper class to describe a file
byMedia nearbyMedia = new NearbyMedia();
byMedia.setMimeType("image/jpeg");
byMedia.setTitle("pic");
byMedia.setFileMedia(new File(filePath));

t a JSON representation of any metadata we want to share
 gson = new GsonBuilder()
    .setDateFormat(DateFormat.FULL, DateFormat.FULL).create();
byMedia.mMetadataJson = gson.toJson("key:value");

hare the file to devices on LAN registered for current service
{
// Will store on nearby device's "Download" folder.
a.lanShare(nearbyMedia);
tch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();

Discovering nearby devices by WifiDirect

iscovering nearby devices by WifiDirect */

new Ayanda(this, null, null, new IWifiDirect() {
    @Override
    public void wifiP2pStateChangedAction(Intent intent) {

    }

    // Decide what to do when the list of nearby devices changes
    @Override
    public void wifiP2pPeersChangedAction() {
        peers.clear();
        peers.addAll(a.wdGetDevicesDiscovered() );
        peerNames.clear();
        for (int i = 0; i < peers.size(); i++) {
            WifiP2pDevice device = (WifiP2pDevice) peers.get(i);
            peersAdapter.add(device.deviceName);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void wifiP2pConnectionChangedAction(Intent intent) {
    }

    @Override
    public void wifiP2pThisDeviceChangedAction(Intent intent) {
    }
});

Sharing a file (bytes) using Bluetooth

= new Ayanda(this, new IBluetooth() {
        @Override
        public void actionDiscoveryStarted(Intent intent) {}

        @Override
        public void actionDiscoveryFinished(Intent intent) {}

        @Override
        public void stateChanged(Intent intent) {}

        @Override
        public void scanModeChange(Intent intent) {}

        @Override
        public void actionFound(Intent intent) {
            peersAdapter.clear();
            peersAdapter.addAll(a.btGetDeviceNamesDiscovered());
            devices = a.btGetDevices();
        }

        @Override
        public void dataRead(byte[] bytes, int length) {
            String readMessage = new String(bytes, 0, length);
            Toast.makeText(BluetoothActivity.this, readMessage, Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
                    .show();
        }

        // Send "Hello World" after connecting to a device
        @Override
        public void connected(BluetoothDevice device) {
            String message = "Hello World";
            try {
                a.btSendData(device, message.getBytes()); // maybe a class for a device that's connected
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }, null, null);
    // Discover nearby Bluetooth devices paired or not
    a.btDiscover();
    // Connect to device from list
    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int pos, long l) {
        BluetoothDevice device = devices.get(peerNames.get(pos));
        a.btConnect(device); // will trigger "connected" event
    }
