WiFi-Direct getting device name

Question

Is there a way to get my current Wifi-Direct device name without listening to WIFI_P2P_THIS_DEVICE_CHANGED_ACTION ? If wifi is already enabled I guess I cannot receive that intent.

I'm developing an app to create a WiFi direct group and share devices locations between peers. When I open a group I need to initialize a data structure, a map in the form of ( deviceName, lastLocation) with my location. A group is created by the user when pressing a button.

http://stackoverflow.com/a/26997159/1978379 This answer says you still get it after register the WifiP2pBroadcastReceiver. Please check — unrealsoul007, Aug 11 '15 at 20:11

You will get WIFI_P2P_THIS_DEVICE_CHANGED_ACTION when you register for the WifiP2pBroadcastReceiver, it doesn't matter if wifi is already on.
