Networking and servers • Access point and http eg. mjpeg_server video stream

I want to know if I'm understanding this right or not.

My end goal is to connect an android phone to a raspberry pi. I initially was going the bluetooth route but was considering AP as well.

Assuming I go on my phone, look up wifi connections, I see the Pi hotspot/AP, connect to it.

Will I then have an IP address eg. 192.168.1.### to connect to and see a port like 192.168.1.###:#### or am I missing some other steps?

I'm also curious about communication, I would hope/assume HTTP just works as if the RPi is a web server.

I would use python or node as my server language.

Thanks for any info

edit:

Yeah it looks like it is possible, sucks so many steps (for a user)
