I want to stream data from my Laptop PC to my Android phone using TCP or UDP by creating sockets in both the phone and the laptop, but it has to be done wirelessly. How do I connect them to stream the data ?
I thought creating an ad-hoc wireless network from my laptop and connecting to it using my Android would work. But my Android is not detecting the ad-hoc network.
Is there any other way how I can connect the two ? I downloaded this software called 'connectify' and created a wifi hotspot on my laptop, and successfully connected the two. But will I be able to stream data to my device using this connection ?
Can simple direct Bluetooth connection help me in creating sockets in both phone and laptop and stream the data ?

You could try to use an ftp program and run your android phone as a ftp file server that will work also. for what your tyring to do. I am assuming your trying to transfer files.
