title: How to create an access point
body: <p>I would like to create an application which could create an access point. Looking through Android documentation I see the WifiManager class [1]:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/**
       * Start AccessPoint mode with the specified
       * configuration. If the radio is already running in
       * AP mode, update the new configuration
       * Note that starting in access point mode disables station
       * mode operation
       * @param wifiConfig SSID, security and channel details as
       *        part of WifiConfiguration
       * @return {@code true} if the operation succeeds, {@code false} otherwise
       *
       * @hide Dont open up yet
       */
      public boolean setWifiApEnabled(WifiConfiguration wifiConfig, boolean enabled) {
          try {
              return mService.setWifiApEnabled(wifiConfig, enabled);
          } catch (RemoteException e) {
              return false;
          }
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But because of some reason it is hidden. Is there any way to do the same that WifiManager? Could I have access to this method somehow?</p>
