Suppose say an android phones hotspot is switched on,can an application running on the phone get access to the MAC addresses of the different devices that are trying to connect to it?

WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
WifiInfo wInfo = wifiManager.getConnectionInfo();
String macAddress = wInfo.getMacAddress();

Also, add below permission in your manifest file

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
