Could not turn on hotspot in android 10

[Abhilasha Dewangan]

Hi all,

I am trying to bring up android 10 on hikey960.

Registered hostapd service in init.rc as below :

service hostapd /system/vendor/bin/hw/hostapd \

     -e /data/misc/wifi/entropy.bin -c /data/misc/wifi/hostapd.conf -dddddddt

     interface android.hardware.wifi.hostapd@1.0::IHostapd default

     interface android.hardware.wifi.hostapd@1.1::IHostapd default

     socket wpa_wlan0 dgram 660 wifi wifi

     class main

     disabled

     oneshot

But when I turn ON hotspot from UI, get below error :

04-24 22:58:36.953  2975  2975 I ConnectivityManager: startTethering caller:com.android.settings

04-24 22:58:36.954  2685  3099 I WifiService: startSoftAp uid=1000

ServiceManger is not able to fetch IHostapd.getService(), even though it is registered in init.rc

Could anyone please help me in this issue.

Thanks,
