I wish to create an application, that detects the available wifi connections in the vicinity, and then connects to them. What I have done till now, is that I created a ListView that lists the available wifi connections, and then I created a LongItemClick dialog box, that shows the SSID and the BSSID of the network, and asks for the password. Now, I wish to connect to one of the networks, independent of what kind of network it is, it might be WEP, WPA or Open too. I am unable to get an overview of how should I connect to them. Can anyone help me with this ? I searched all available answers, and I didn't find any answer, that could help me do this!
I try the above thing by the below method. I create a list view of all the available wi-fi networks in the vicinity, and then I try to show the connection info on long press, and give an option to connect to the clicked wi-fi network via click.
