Provides a list of connected WiFi clients.Ī tiny HTTP server extended from NanoHttpd, serves the sender data to receivers using IP address as hostname and works on port assigned by user or system by default.Īndroid service which manages lifecycle of SHAREthem-server and also handles foreground notification with stop action.Īndroid activities to handle share/receive actions.Restores user Hotspot-Configuration when Share mode is disabled.Controller creates an OPEN Wifi hotspot configuration with an SSID which can intercepted by Receivers to recognize SHAREthem senders including port and sender names.HC uses Java Reflection since there are NO APIs available on Android for enabling/disabling Hotspots. Library also supports app to web sharing if receiver has no app installed : SHAREthem library facilitates file sharing and transfers using below components. That’s enough, tell me how it works 🙄Īlso app is posted on Playstore ( Still in Beta). UPDATE: Added Android-8, OREO support with default Android Hotspot functionality which comes with password protected Hotspot and so Receiver has to explicitly key-in password, inline with SHAREit functionality. But I’m gonna talk about Hotspot way since SHAREthem library is built around it. May be they are using combination of both to take leverage of platform apis.

Well, it’s easy to assume that they use Android Wi-Fi P2P libraries because android developer site says those libraries are used for P2P.īut, if you observe SHAREit app creates a Hotspot on receiver side which defeats the whole purpose of using Android P2P libraries and more over SHAREit works all the way from Android 2.2(at least it used to) where as Android P2P libraries works only on and above Android 4.0. (Just search shareit on SO and you’ll see a pageful of questions asking about the same thing). SHAREit App takes full advantage of it. I’ve seen many questions on StackOverFlow asking about how SHAREit works. Peer-to-Peer transfers are the best way to go when it comes to file sharing. SHAREthem library makes File Sharing & Transfer a lot easier!!
