What's the difference between addNetwork()/enableNetwork() and setWifiApConfiguration()?

I have seen this hidden API used in android source called setWifiApConfiguration() to set up a AP. I have see couple of answers on SO using addNetwork() and then enableNetwork() (For ex: this). So what's the difference between the two methods?

Solution

  • setWifiApConfiguration() is a HotSpot or Wi-Fi tethering API, where as addNetwork() and enableNetwork() are regular Wi-Fi operation APIs
