Is it possible to reliably detect which wifi network I'm on?


I am writing an android app and trying to figure out if there is a reliable way to determine when the phone is on a specific wifi network.

For example, I want to perform certain actions only when connected to the home wifi.

Does anyone know if it's possible?


Solution

  • Yes, there is a way for this on both, android and iOS/iPhone.

    On Android, you need to use this method in the end: android.net.wifi.WifiInfo.getSSID

    On iPhone it's a completely different world. You can find a good description of how to do it here: iPhone get SSID without private library
