How to detect WiFi tethering state

Question

I want to know how to detect state of WiFi tethering. I\'ve seen an article: Android 2.3 wifi hotspot API But it doesn\'t work! It returns always WIFI_AP_STATE_DISABLED = 1.

Using reflection:

WifiManager wifi = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
Method[] wmMethods = wifi.getClass().getDeclaredMethods();
for (Method method: wmMethods) {
  if (method.getName().equals("isWifiApEnabled")) {

    try {
      boolean isWifiAPenabled = method.invoke(wifi);
    } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
  }
}
