Is it possible to control WiFi/Hotspot/Bluetooth features via application on iOS/Android


Is it possible to gain control, over any one of the following features, via an app on iOS/Android:

  • turn on/off WiFi/Hotspot/BT

  • read/write the device Hotspot/BT name, as it is seen by peer devices

  • refresh available Hotspot/BT networks and read their names - while app runs in background / foreground

You can imagine where I am going with this - an all-in-one WiFi/Hotspot/BT manager app that would be similar in look-and-feel on both iOS and Android.

In case some of this has constraints in specific iOS/Android versions - please mention that.


Solution

  • Yes it can be done on Android. It can't be done in iOS.
