An extension made by Kumaraswamy B.G

[Patryk_F]

Is it something like WiFi Direct?

[Kumaraswamy]

Yes, it's Wi-Fi direct extension.

[Patryk_F]

Did any of the testers mentioned confirm the operation of the extension? I'm testing the extension and can't get the device list.

It may be the problem of location access. Make sure that app has the permission of location and it's turned on with Wi-Fi. Also, the extension doesn't work with companion because of lack of permissions.

[Patryk_F]

Do I have to ask about these permissions myself? Because I don't have any required permissions in the app settings. Yes, I am compiling an app to APK.

[Kumaraswamy]

Just go to app settings and enable location and storage permission for file transfer

[Patryk_F]

Ok. In addition to location permissions, your phone must have location enabled. Does it have to be like that?

I added the message sending function. Messages are plain text, e.g. from a text box?
I added blocks:

After entering the text and clicking on send, the application turns off.

[Kumaraswamy]

Yes sometimes the extension crashes because the send function may not have been initialized. Try after some seconds.

[Patryk_F]

Yes, it helped. Perhaps a function could be added to detect if the upload function has been initiated to avoid an error.

[Kumaraswamy]

Yes, I will do some changes according to that like Connected event should be triggered after it's been completely initialized.

[Patryk_F]

Exactly. The hang-up function would also be useful. Cool extension. You can make a local chat, send files, etc. What are these two blocks for?

[Kumaraswamy]

Those blocks will be removed but you can still use it for now . First blocks is if the data being received is message or file. The second block is to set the output file path.

[Kumaraswamy]

Beta update

• Removed and added some blocks
• Internal changes done which improved things
• Reduced the extension size

Thanks to all the testers. Check out the main post to download the new extension.

[Patryk_F]

After updating, error while connecting: "Failed to connect, error code: 0"

[Kumaraswamy]

Maybe location problem one again.

[Patryk_F]

No. Permissions granted. Location enabled.

[Kumaraswamy]

That should not happen. According to the android docs it means something is wrong. Maybe you should check again? That is not happening to me. Are you trying to search after connection made by extension?

[Patryk_F]

Ok. I gave the new "stop discovery" block right after selecting a device from the list, before connecting to the device. You can see that it's not correct. Now I put the "stop discovery" block in "when connected" and it's ok.

[Kumaraswamy]

Extension will be released tommorow. After the confirmation that extension is working properly.

Thanks.
