ACTION_PICK_WIFI_NETWORK on a dialog with avaliable networks

Question

I\'m trying to create a Dialog which shows something like ACTION_PICK_WIFI_NETWORK but instead of open Android Settings / WiFi open it

Answer 1

I found the library WifiUtils to be extremely useful. To connect to a selected wifi network, create connectToWifi(ssid, pass)

private fun connectToWifi(ssid: String, password: String) {
    WifiUtils.withContext(applicationContext)
      .connectWith(ssid, password)
      .onConnectionResult(::connectWifiResultListener)
      .start()
}

Then, replace Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Selected " + strName, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); in showWifiListDialog setAdapter onClick with connectToWifi(strName, password)

The password can be empty "" if the wifi network doesn't require authentication

The result will return to connectWifiResultListener

 private fun connectWifiResultListener(isSuccess: Boolean) {
    if (isSuccess)
      // do something
    else}
      // show error
}

In addition, I adapted scanWifi from the WifiUtils library with @Skizo-ozᴉʞS wifi scanning solution and it worked like a charm. So, instead of the startWifiScans method and the wifiReceiver which calls showWifiListDialog(results) I used

WifiUtils.withContext(applicationContext).scanWifi(::getScanResults).start()

And call showWifiListDialog in getScanResults

private fun getScanResults(results: List) {
    if (results.isEmpty()) { return }
    showWifiListDialog(results)
  }
