I'm designing an app which uses wifi for certain purposes. I want to prevent the user from turning the wifi radio off from the wifi settings of the device while my application is running and the device connected to my wifi network. Is there a chance this can be done? I read in WifiManager.WifiLock and they say this: "Note that WifiLocks cannot override the user-level "Wi-Fi Enabled" setting, nor Airplane Mode. They simply keep the radio from turning off when Wi-Fi is already on but the device is idle." Can it be done somehow??
You cannot prevent the user from turning off the wifi from your code. Even if you find out an evil way to do it , you should not try to do it. If I find out any app in my phone does evil things like these, I will just remove the app. I am sure most people are just like me.
If you really want to do it for some reason , perhaps you could tell us what the scenario is and we might be able to help you with a different solution you havent thought about
