Android: How to share files on a local network?

Question

I want to create application which can share files through wifi similar to Xender/Superbeam. I don't want to rely on router or some other hotspot. I want to create new connection from one device and other devices should able to find and connect. How can I achieve any sample code or link will help.

It will be great if you share some existing code that you have already tried. — Rahul Nanwani, Jul 11 '15 at 09:47
