Wi-Fi Aware (NAN) HAL API Usage

The Wi-Fi Aware (NAN) HAL API is defined in (hardware/interfaces/wifi/1.0/):

  • IWifiNanIface.hal
  • IWifiNanIfaceEventCallback.hal
  • types.hal (structure definitions)

The Wi-Fi Aware (NAN) HAL API surface is very large - only a subset is used from the framework.

Understanding of the HAL API subset which is actively used by the Android framework can be deduced by reviewing framework code, specifically (frameworks/opt/net/wifi/):

  • WifiAwareNativeApi.java
  • WifiAwareNativeCallback.java

The above framework files determine the API usage - and should be consulted as the authoritative reference. Please consult the primary HAL file for documentation - they will not be replicated in this document. APIs which are in the HAL but are not listed in this README file are not used by the framework.

Note: the HAL API is translated to the legacy HAL API (wifi_nan.h). This README file covers the new HAL API only. To understand the mapping between new and legacy HALs please consult hardware/interfaces/wifi/<version>/default/hidl_struct_util.cpp.

IWifiNanIface

Format:

  • Hard-coded values are in bold, e.g. true or 5
  • Assigned but not fixed values are specified using the variable keyword, possibly with some details/constraints
  • Unassigned values are specified using the N/A keyword. Unassigned usually means initialized to 0.
