I am trying to make an app here, which will detect all the devices connected in that WiFi network. I have done enough google and come up with an App which can detect IP Addresses of the devices connected in the WiFi network of the app.

Now I want few more things.

  1. Can I find device name i.e. phone name or model or system name any information by which we can detect the particular device?
  2. Can we find the device distance like how far is that device from the phone in which we are using our app?
  3. This one is the main task- I want to share data over device connected to same WiFi. So is that possible?

Any kind of help is appreciated
