Can we make an android app which works only when we connect to a specific Wi-fi Network?

Question

I want to know whether we can make an android app which works only when we connect to a specific wi-fi Network? All help is much appreciated! I'm all out of ideas here. Thank you.

Answer 1

boolean onRightNetwork() {
    WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) App.getContext()
                        .getSystemService(App.getContext().WIFI_SERVICE);
                WifiInfo wifiInfo = wifiManager.getConnectionInfo();

    return wifiInfo.getSSID().equals(NETWORK_NAME);
}

Run that in onResume, and just pop up a screen that says to connect to the right network if it returns false. You may also want to register a broadcast receiver to listen for wifi connect/disconnect events and perform this check as needed there as well.
