Can I make wifi connection between two phone without a router or wireless network?

[zuii]

I want to write a program based on UDP, and send something to anther phone(it runs an application and binded with the port i use),

My problem is:
1. if I don't have any wireless network, can I send successfully? Can it make a connection automatically when the application
started?
2. if there is a wireless network, am I must to choose an IAP first then send?
3. I used RSocketServ and Rsocket to implement this program,didn't use RConnection,so there is no IAP choosing, Is this correct or not?

can anybody know these issue? thanks~~

Yes, that is called "Ad-Hoc" WLAN, and it works well. As a first try, create it manually from the Settings application of the device. When creating a WLAN AP, you will see a field defaulting to "Infrastructure", that is the one you can change to "Ad-Hoc".
Usage of an RConnection is highly recommended, otherwise every single SendTo will ask about the AP you want to use, and the server side is even worse, since RecvFrom does not requires any network interface to be powered up, just it will not receive anything.

Thank you wizard_hu_,
I can create AP with Ad-Hoc mode now,but I encountered another problem,if I want to connect to the other phone,the two phone need in the same WLAN,so I
need set there SSID as the same, I want to ask how can I set the SSID? I didn't got the method or APIs from google or forum nokia...

[zuii]

the SSID is the Network Name???

[wizard_hu_]

Yes, the SSID is referred as "WLAN network name" in the access point editor. Note that you can find examples for programmatic AP creation in the Wiki. Search for some combination of words create, wlan, access and point.

Thanks,
I have found a example days ago,and don't understand it clearly, the source code will be post latter. I wonder why define two CApAccessPointItem objects?
After I have test and debug it for times, but no difference found,and it can create an AP successfully. So why use the second one?

The code(I have modified it many times):

void CCreate::Create()
	{
	TInt errorCode;
	
	//CUtils::WriteLog(KLogName,_L("Starting create..."));
	
	CCommsDatabase* db = CCommsDatabase::NewL();
	CleanupStack::PushL(db);
	TInt err = db->BeginTransaction();

	// Create a wlan AP and fill its mandatory fields.
	CApAccessPointItem* wlanAp = CApAccessPointItem::NewLC();
	//CApAccessPointItem* wlanNewItem = CApAccessPointItem::NewLC();//

	wlanAp->SetNamesL(KApName);
	wlanAp->SetBearerTypeL(EApBearerTypeWLAN);
	wlanAp->WriteTextL(EApWlanNetworkName, KNetworkName); // Give corrct Data as per the router configuration  //L!nkSys@MdpNok!a

	//Lan network mode should be 1 for infrastructure, 0 for adhoc
	wlanAp->WriteUint(EApWlanNetworkMode, 0);
	wlanAp->WriteUint(EApWlanChannelId, 3);

	// Setting up advanced settings for IP addressing
	wlanAp->WriteTextL(EApWlanIpAddr, KIPAddress);
	wlanAp->WriteTextL(EApWlanIpNetMask, KIPMask);
	wlanAp->WriteTextL(EApWlanIpGateway, KIPGatway);


	
	TBool val = ETrue;
	TUint32 apid;
	CApDataHandler* handler = CApDataHandler::NewLC(*db);
	apid = handler->CreateFromDataL(*wlanAp);
	handler->UpdateAccessPointDataL(*wlanAp, val);
	//handler->AccessPointDataL(apid, *wlanNewItem); //copy AP data to wlanNewItem???

	CApUtils *aputil = CApUtils::NewLC(*db);
	TUint32 wapuid = wlanAp->WapUid(); //get the AP ID
	TInt Iap = aputil->IapIdFromWapIdL(wapuid); //Get the Iap record ID for a given AP ID
	
	TUint32 newalanid;
	wlanAp->ReadUint(EApIapServiceId, newalanid);
	
	//wlanNewItem->ReadUint(EApIapServiceId, newalanid);//
	
	TBuf<50> logBuf;
	logBuf.AppendFormat(_L("ServiceID = %d"),newalanid);
	CUtils::WriteLog(KLogName,logBuf);
	
	//TBuf<50> ibuff;//
	//wlanNewItem->ReadTextL(EApWlanNetworkName, ibuff);//
	//TUint32 newAPId = wlanNewItem->WapUid();//

	CCommsDbTableView* wLanServiceTable = db->OpenViewMatchingUintLC(TPtrC(
			WLAN_SERVICE), TPtrC(WLAN_SERVICE_ID), newalanid);

	errorCode = wLanServiceTable->GotoFirstRecord();

	if (errorCode == KErrNone)
		{
		wLanServiceTable->UpdateRecord();
		}
	else
		{
		TUint32 dummyUid(10); //KUidNone
		User::LeaveIfError(wLanServiceTable->InsertRecord(dummyUid));
		wLanServiceTable->WriteUintL(TPtrC(WLAN_SERVICE_ID), apid);
		}

	wLanServiceTable->PutRecordChanges();
	err = db->CommitTransaction();

	CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(5);
	}
