I am trying to turn add a wifi network programmatically and to connect to that network.
My code works fine if the wi-fi is already turned on.
If wi-fi is off, what i see wifimanager.addtonetwork() fails and when i see the wifi settings for the phone, i can see the status as scanning
If i try to connect again it works fine.
Please see code below. Please help

You need to create wifiLock with WIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PERF mode, based on the docs it will only work with the following constraints:
- The lock is only active when the device is connected to an access point.
- The lock is only active when the screen is on.
- The lock is only active when the acquiring app is running in the foreground.
