WifiManager

Activity Action: Pick a Wi-Fi network to connect to.

Input: Nothing.

Output: Nothing.

Activity Action: Show a system activity that allows the user to enable scans to be available even with Wi-Fi turned off.

Notification of the result of this activity is posted using the onActivityResult(int, int, Intent) callback. The resultCode will be RESULT_OK if scan always mode has been turned on or RESULT_CANCELED if the user has rejected the request or an error has occurred.

The error code if there was a problem authenticating.

The lookup key for a String giving the BSSID of the access point to which we are connected. Only present when the new state is CONNECTED. Retrieve with getStringExtra(String).

The lookup key for a NetworkInfo object associated with the Wi-Fi network. Retrieve with getParcelableExtra(String).

The lookup key for an int giving the new RSSI in dBm.

The lookup key for a SupplicantState describing the new state Retrieve with getParcelableExtra(String).

The previous Wi-Fi state.

The lookup key for a boolean that indicates whether a connection to the supplicant daemon has been gained or lost. true means a connection now exists. Retrieve it with getBooleanExtra(String, boolean).

The lookup key for a SupplicantState describing the supplicant error code if any Retrieve with getIntExtra(String, int).

The lookup key for a WifiInfo object giving the information about the access point to which we are connected. Only present when the new state is CONNECTED. Retrieve with getParcelableExtra(String).

The lookup key for an int that indicates whether Wi-Fi is enabled, disabled, enabling, disabling, or unknown. Retrieve it with getIntExtra(String, int).

The network IDs of the configured networks could have changed.

Broadcast intent action indicating that the state of Wi-Fi connectivity has changed. One extra provides the new state in the form of a NetworkInfo object. If the new state is CONNECTED, additional extras may provide the BSSID and WifiInfo of the access point. as a String.

The RSSI (signal strength) has changed.

An access point scan has completed, and results are available from the supplicant. Call getScanResults() to obtain the results.

Broadcast intent action indicating that a connection to the supplicant has been established (and it is now possible to perform Wi-Fi operations) or the connection to the supplicant has been lost. One extra provides the connection state as a boolean, where true means CONNECTED.

Broadcast intent action indicating that the state of establishing a connection to an access point has changed.One extra provides the new SupplicantState. Note that the supplicant state is Wi-Fi specific, and is not generally the most useful thing to look at if you are just interested in the overall state of connectivity.

In this Wi-Fi lock mode, Wi-Fi will be kept active, and will behave normally, i.e., it will attempt to automatically establish a connection to a remembered access point that is within range, and will do periodic scans if there are remembered access points but none are in range.

In this Wi-Fi lock mode, Wi-Fi will be kept active as in mode WIFI_MODE_FULL but it operates at high performance with minimum packet loss and low packet latency even when the device screen is off. This mode will consume more power and hence should be used only when there is a need for such an active connection.

An example use case is when a voice connection needs to be kept active even after the device screen goes off. Holding the regular WIFI_MODE_FULL lock will keep the wifi connection active, but the connection can be lossy. Holding a WIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PERF lock for the duration of the voice call will improve the call quality.

When there is no support from the hardware, this lock mode will have the same behavior as WIFI_MODE_FULL

In this Wi-Fi lock mode, Wi-Fi will be kept active, but the only operation that will be supported is initiation of scans, and the subsequent reporting of scan results. No attempts will be made to automatically connect to remembered access points, nor will periodic scans be automatically performed looking for remembered access points. Scans must be explicitly requested by an application in this mode.

Broadcast intent action indicating that Wi-Fi has been enabled, disabled, enabling, disabling, or unknown. One extra provides this state as an int. Another extra provides the previous state, if available.

Wi-Fi is disabled.

Wi-Fi is currently being disabled. The state will change to WIFI_STATE_DISABLED if it finishes successfully.

Wi-Fi is enabled.

Wi-Fi is currently being enabled. The state will change to WIFI_STATE_ENABLED if it finishes successfully.

Wi-Fi is in an unknown state. This state will occur when an error happens while enabling or disabling.

Add a new network description to the set of configured networks. The networkId field of the supplied configuration object is ignored.

The new network will be marked DISABLED by default. To enable it, called enableNetwork(int, boolean).

Calculates the level of the signal. This should be used any time a signal is being shown.

Compares two signal strengths.

Create a new MulticastLock

Creates a new WifiLock.

Creates a new WifiLock.

Disable a configured network. The specified network will not be a candidate for associating. This may result in the asynchronous delivery of state change events.

Disassociate from the currently active access point. This may result in the asynchronous delivery of state change events.

Allow a previously configured network to be associated with. If disableOthers is true, then all other configured networks are disabled, and an attempt to connect to the selected network is initiated. This may result in the asynchronous delivery of state change events.

Return a list of all the networks configured in the supplicant. Not all fields of WifiConfiguration are returned. Only the following fields are filled in:

• networkId
• SSID
• BSSID
• priority
• allowedProtocols
• allowedKeyManagement
• allowedAuthAlgorithms
• allowedPairwiseCiphers
• allowedGroupCiphers

Return dynamic information about the current Wi-Fi connection, if any is active.

Return the DHCP-assigned addresses from the last successful DHCP request, if any.

Return the results of the latest access point scan.

Gets the Wi-Fi enabled state.

Check if scanning is always available. If this return true, apps can issue startScan() and fetch scan results even when Wi-Fi is turned off. To change this setting, see ACTION_REQUEST_SCAN_ALWAYS_AVAILABLE.

Return whether Wi-Fi is enabled or disabled.

Check that the supplicant daemon is responding to requests.

Reconnect to the currently active access point, even if we are already connected. This may result in the asynchronous delivery of state change events.

Reconnect to the currently active access point, if we are currently disconnected. This may result in the asynchronous delivery of state change events.

Remove the specified network from the list of configured networks. This may result in the asynchronous delivery of state change events.

Tell the supplicant to persist the current list of configured networks.

Note: It is possible for this method to change the network IDs of existing networks. You should assume the network IDs can be different after calling this method.

Enable/Disable TDLS on a specific local route.

TDLS enables two wireless endpoints to talk to each other directly without going through the access point that is managing the local network. It saves bandwidth and improves quality of the link.

This API enables/disables the option of using TDLS. If enabled, the underlying hardware is free to use TDLS or a hop through the access point. If disabled, existing TDLS session is torn down and hardware is restricted to use access point for transferring wireless packets. Default value for all routes is 'disabled', meaning restricted to use access point for transferring packets.

Similar to setTdlsEnabled(InetAddress, boolean), except this version allows you to specify remote endpoint with a MAC address.

Enable or disable Wi-Fi.

Request a scan for access points. Returns immediately. The availability of the results is made known later by means of an asynchronous event sent on completion of the scan.

Update the network description of an existing configured network.

Invoked when the garbage collector has detected that this instance is no longer reachable. The default implementation does nothing, but this method can be overridden to free resources.

Note that objects that override finalize are significantly more expensive than objects that don't. Finalizers may be run a long time after the object is no longer reachable, depending on memory pressure, so it's a bad idea to rely on them for cleanup. Note also that finalizers are run on a single VM-wide finalizer thread, so doing blocking work in a finalizer is a bad idea. A finalizer is usually only necessary for a class that has a native peer and needs to call a native method to destroy that peer. Even then, it's better to provide an explicit close method (and implement Closeable), and insist that callers manually dispose of instances. This works well for something like files, but less well for something like a BigInteger where typical calling code would have to deal with lots of temporaries. Unfortunately, code that creates lots of temporaries is the worst kind of code from the point of view of the single finalizer thread.

If you must use finalizers, consider at least providing your own ReferenceQueue and having your own thread process that queue.

Unlike constructors, finalizers are not automatically chained. You are responsible for calling super.finalize() yourself.

Uncaught exceptions thrown by finalizers are ignored and do not terminate the finalizer thread. See Effective Java Item 7, "Avoid finalizers" for more.
