Android Wifi

To manage the wifi connectivity, such as to add network, disable the network, scan for access points, disconnect the network, etc., the android.net.wifi.WifiManager class can be used in Android.

Example: To enable and disable wifi:

In the below example, we are using the Android WifiManager to enable and disable the wifi service.

activity_main.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >
 
    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_marginLeft="76dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="67dp"
        android:text="Enable Wifi" />
 
    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/button1"
        android:layout_below="@+id/button1"
        android:layout_marginTop="44dp"
        android:text="Disable Wifi" />
 
</RelativeLayout>

Activity class:(File: MainActivity.java)

package com.example.radioapp;
 
import android.net.wifi.WifiManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
 
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    Button enableButton,disableButton;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
 
        enableButton=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
        disableButton=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button2);
 
        enableButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
            public void onClick(View v){
                WifiManager wifi = (WifiManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
                wifi.setWifiEnabled(true);
            }
        });
        disableButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
            public void onClick(View v){
                WifiManager wifi = (WifiManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
                wifi.setWifiEnabled(false);
            }
        });
    }
 
 
}

AndroidManifest.xml:

In the AndroidManifest.xml file, we will write the code to add the below permissions.

Syntax:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />  
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />  
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE"/>

File: AndroidManifest.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.radioapp">
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" />
 
    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
 
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
 
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
 
        </activity>
 
    </application>
</manifest>
