Is it not possible to programmatically enable wifi

Answer 1

No, This is not possible to enable or disable Wi-Fi programmatically from Android-10 API level 29 [Until google provides an alternative solution].

For applications targeting Build.VERSION_CODES.Q or above, this API will always return false and will have no effect.

If apps are targeting an older SDK ( Build.VERSION_CODES.P or below), they can continue to use this API.

There is an issue 128554616 which already has been created in google issuetracker forum. You can see there for any updated info.
