Android: Get SSID and password of a phone which is a portable wifi hotspot

I need to find a way to get the SSID of the network that my Android device is shared (My device is being a portable wifi hotspot).

Not the SSID of the network I connected to.

thanks

Solution

  • I finally found that there are some hidden method about getting/setting wifiAP mode in android WifiManager class. In WifiManager class, getWifiApConfiguration could be invoke to get the configuration in which the SSID of wifiAp could be found.
