android to android live video stream via Wifi direct (P2P)

Question

I have two android devices(phones).Let's call P1 and P2. I'm writing two apps, one for live-stream P1's camera video and other for view that video (from P2).

I want to connect these two devices via wifi Direct (No router). I have searched the internet for days now on how to implement a video streaming feature from an android phone to another android phone over a WiFi connection but not using Wifi direct (p2p).

Here I specifically want to do this via wifi direct. Can someone help me ?
Thank you :)

A few thoughts:

1. To manage the WiFi direct/p2p connection you could use something like:
   • android.net.wifi.p2p
2. To stream the video from a device, checkout these open-source examples
   • spydroid ipcamera
   • ipcamera for android
   • SIPDroid
3. To handle displaying the video, (depending on the video stream) you could use:
   • An updating ImageView
   • A VideoView
     • See: Video Streaming and Android
   • A WebView
