I am new to android and I am working on a single-mode application for Android TV. my target SDK is 30. I am trying to create a custom page to get a list of all wifi and connect to the wifi. Is there any example to do so? because the ones I saw were either using android wifi intent or when I am trying to scan the list from the following code. it won't run even though I assigned all the permissions.
But if anyone can provide a code for creating a custom page to connect to wifi, that would be so helpful.
public class WifiActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
/* private ListView wifiList;
private WifiManager wifiManager;
private final int MY_PERMISSIONS_ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION = 1;
WifiChangeBroadcastReceiver receiverWifi;
@Override
private ListView wifiList;
private WifiManager wifiManager;
private final int MY_PERMISSIONS_ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION = 1;
WifiChangeBroadcastReceiver receiverWifi;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_wifi);
wifiList = findViewById(R.id.wifiList);
Button buttonScan = (Button) findViewById(R.id.scanBtn);
wifiManager = (WifiManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
if (!wifiManager.isWifiEnabled()) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Turning WiFi ON...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(true);
}
buttonScan.setOnClickListener(v -> {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(WifiActivity.this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(
WifiActivity.this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION}, MY_PERMISSIONS_ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION);
} else {
wifiManager.startScan();
}
});
}
@Override
protected void onPostResume() {
super.onPostResume();
receiverWifi = new WifiChangeBroadcastReceiver(wifiManager, wifiList);
IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter();
intentFilter.addAction(WifiManager.SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE_ACTION);
registerReceiver(receiverWifi, intentFilter);
getWifi();
}
private void getWifi() {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
Toast.makeText(this, "version> = marshmallow", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
Toast.makeText(this, "location turned off", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION}, MY_PERMISSIONS_ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION);
} else {
Toast.makeText(this, "location turned on", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
wifiManager.startScan();
}
} else {
Toast.makeText(this, "scanning", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
wifiManager.startScan();
}
}
@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
unregisterReceiver(receiverWifi);
}
@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
switch (requestCode) {
case MY_PERMISSIONS_ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION:
if (grantResults.length >0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
Toast.makeText(this, "permission granted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
wifiManager.startScan();
} else {
Toast.makeText(this, "permission not granted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return;
}
break;
}
}
}
i did some research and solved this issue. Here is the solution if anyone wants help. in android 10+, (SDK 29+) you can use WifiNetworkSpecifier to connect to the internet.
WifiNetworkSpecifier.Builder builder = null;
WifiNetworkSpecifier wifiNetworkSpecifier = null;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) {
builder = new WifiNetworkSpecifier.Builder();
builder.setSsid(networkSSID);
builder.setWpa2Passphrase(networkPass);
wifiNetworkSpecifier = builder.build();
NetworkRequest.Builder networkRequestBuilder = new NetworkRequest.Builder();
networkRequestBuilder.addTransportType(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI);
networkRequestBuilder.addCapability(NetworkCapabilities.NET_CAPABILITY_NOT_RESTRICTED);
networkRequestBuilder.addCapability(NetworkCapabilities.NET_CAPABILITY_TRUSTED);
networkRequestBuilder.setNetworkSpecifier(wifiNetworkSpecifier);
NetworkRequest networkRequest = networkRequestBuilder.build();
ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
if (cm != null) {
cm.requestNetwork(networkRequest, new ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback() {
@Override
public void onAvailable(@NonNull Network network) {
super.onAvailable(network);
}
});
}
}
