By directly quoting the android site:
Wi-Fi peer-to-peer (P2P) allows Android 4.0 (API level 14) or later devices with appropriate equipment to connect directly to each other via Wi-Fi without an intermediate access point
But according to the android website, in order to use the WiFiP2P class, you must have the following permission on the application manifest file.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
My question is: if WiFiP2P connects directly to 2 Android devices, why do I need internet permission?
