I have successfully created and access point to my local rapsberry pi 3 and I was able to connect the pi AP without internet with my iphone and when I open the browser and hit the raspberrypi.local it shows the webbrowser with the static html I created.

but when I try to connect using the android phone, it never connects to the network and it fails, so I tried using static ip to the android phone where I found out that my pi ip is 169.254.10.244 and I setup the android wireless connect to use static ip where the ip is 169.254.10.245

and the android now can connect to the pi access point, but when I try to browse using chrome in my android hitting the raspberrypi.local gave me no internet error page?

I am confused on how to solve this as my iphone connect without having to assign any ip address and when the browser was launch and the raspberrypi.local was entered it load just fine.

any issues on my my android phone are unable to connect to the pi access point? and have to serve on a static ip, and still it wont work?

would be great to work like how the iphone connects and just run

update : its setup under raspberry latest stretch - apache2

and access point setup via : https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/access-point.md

thank you

I have worked on this few months ago, and today, i figured out why this happens! The reason android phones fail to connect with Raspberry Pi's AP is that in android phones have a range of IPs in their "Developer Options". While connecting to RPi's AP on android phone, use static Ip in "Advanced Options" such as in my case the ip of AP is "169.254.208.226" so i will try to use any IP like i used "169.254.208.22", and voila, my android phone got connected...

Try this and thank me later...

169.254.10.244 is NOT a static IP address it is a Link-local address and is not routable.

While macOS (and presumably iOS) allow some protocols to work over Link-local addresses this is NOT their intended purpose.

This probably indicates that however you "created an access point:" this is misconfigured.
