Uselt XMPP and the pubsub extension. In that way you can have multiple instances of your program all communicate with all others.
Examples of real uses are inform all about what you play, your position, play chess and chat (jabber). Please note that this is extensions of XMPP and not the chat function in Jabber.
It has massive use cases like Google Talk and Facebook chat.

Please look up more info at http://xmpp.org/ and http://jabber.org/

Depends on size of what you want to send, and how long the connection should last....

If its a list you want:
SMS
Nfc - he needed
Bump
QR code on screen -> QR code scanner
Audio
Bluetooth
Wifi direct
Wifi via 'relay' server

If its a solution you want, then maybe give us some more information about what you want to do.....

Hi, I just want 2 android phone instances to communicate via HTTP protocol.
Phone 1 does HTTP Post of a file to phone2, which does some processing and
updates file. This has to be again sent to phone1. This process should go
on.

I think I've said this before, but you probably do _not_ want to use
an HTTP stream socket connection, that will be an excellent way to
kill the device's battery and most data providers block ports anyway.

But the requirements are to use HTTP. Please let me know if I have to use
AIDL/ Binder for this scenario? Any suggestion will be really helpful to me.
Thanks in advance!

AIDL has nothing to do with this, other than the fact that it is also
sending information across a kernel barrier, but otherwise completely
unrelated.

Why are your requirements to use HTTP?  Is this for a class?  If so,
then read any of the hundreds of "network programming in Java"
tutorials on the internet, it is literally no different in Android,
except that you will probably do it in a service.

Hi, I want the same application installed in 2 devices(emulators) to
exchange file/update it between them, given they are in the same network.
