Local Only Hotspot

You can use a Local Only Hotspot to enable applications on devices connected to the Wi-Fi hotspot to communicate with each other. The network created by this method will not have Internet access. Each application can make a single request for the hotspot, but multiple applications can request the hotspot at the same time. When multiple applications have successfully registered concurrently, they share the underlying hotspot. LocalOnlyHotspotCallback.onStarted(LocalOnlyHotspotReservation) is called when the hotspot is ready for use.
