Hotspot Module Support for Android >= 8.0 (Local Only Hotspot)

[tranquvis]

Turning Wifi Hotspot on/off isn't possible anymore on android >= 8.0 in the way it was possible before. Some information can be found here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6394599/android-turn-on-off-wifi-hotspot-programmatically.

Android introduced a new api, which again makes it possible to turn Wifi Hotspot on/off, but this hotspot will not allow access to the internet. See https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/localonlyhotspot .
