Local Hotspot - Personalized and Fixed SSID

[jesusgcabal]

Hello everyone. I am quite new in the Apps development. I have been reading so many Q&A, forums, and post from so many people around. I have a question, and I hope someone of you could kindly give me support to clarify my doubts. I would like to enable a local hotspot on a tablet (Huawei Mediapad T5 with Android 8 - Oreo). I am developing an App with different functionalities, but I realized I need to switch between my Wireless connection and to enable my Local Hotspot (One it is already saved and configured on my tablet). And I have managed to do the switch in between the networks. The big problem comes with the SSID. If I enable manually my Local Hotspot, it connects automatically with my other device (Arduino MKR 1010), but if I do it programmatically, the Hotspot that I enable, changes every single time the SSID. Is there any way set a fixed SSID with this methodology? I read in some posts that this is already hardcoded and it is not possible to do as I wish. I hope you can help me to understand it better, clarify or to find a solution. Thank you so much in advance. I post my activity code, and the Logcat with two attempts.
