Project specification

These are questions about the project specification/solution which I've asked the professor.

1.

• Can we use the BSSID of an AP instead of its SSID (which might not be unique among various APs)?

yes

2.

• Do we need to be able to list all available messages?

We should list the user's messages so he is able to delete/unpost them. However, we don't need to list other user's messages, so the only way to read them is by opening the "new message" notification.

3.

• What Android version should we target and what version should we compile against?

doesn't matter, as long as both are >=4.0 (for WiFi-Direct support)

4.

• Should a location have both wifi ids AND GPS or just one of them?

One single location can have both OR just one of them, but the project needs to support both wifi and GPS.
