Android Wi-Fi Direct: WifiP2pInfo object passed onConnectionInfoAvailable callback has null property groupOwnerAddress

I am trying to get two Android devices to communicate with each other using WiFi Direct. I am listing the available devices in ListView

, and when the user clicks on the device, I initiate the connection by calling the connect method from the WifiP2pManager class. In the method, onSucces

I call the method requestConnectionInfo

to get the IP address of the group owner so that I can connect to ServerSocket

.

The problem is that the first time I try to hook up the object WifiP2pInfo

passed to onConnectionInfoAvailable

the callback has a null property groupOwnerAddress

. It doesn't make sense to me because I am reuestConnectionInfo

calling in the callback of onSuccess

the connect method, meaning the connection is already established.

If I try to connect again by clicking on the device name again) after a few seconds, the object WifiP2pInfo

now contains the GO address and I can initiate a TCP connection.

I tried to make a Thread Thread for a few seconds before calling requestConnectionInfo, but I still have the same problem.

@Override
public void onDialogPositiveClick(DialogFragment dialog, final String enteredPin) {

    WifiP2pConfig config = new WifiP2pConfig();
    config.deviceAddress = mDevice.deviceAddress;
    config.groupOwnerIntent = 0;
    mManager.connect(mChannel, config, new WifiP2pManager.ActionListener() {
        @Override
        public void onSuccess() {

            mManager.requestConnectionInfo(mChannel, new WifiP2pManager.ConnectionInfoListener() {
                @Override
                public void onConnectionInfoAvailable(WifiP2pInfo info) {
                    InetAddress ownerAddress=info.groupOwnerAddress;

                    if (ownerAddress!=null) {
                        Log.d("MainActivity ",ownerAddress.toString());
                        ConnectAsyncTask asyncTask=new ConnectAsyncTask(MainActivity.this,ownerAddress,8888,enteredPin);
                        asyncTask.execute();
                    } else {
                        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Connection failed! Try again!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    }
                }
            });

        @Override
        public void onFailure(int reason) {

        }
    });
}
