I was wondering is it possible to get a notification of when a new configured network is added to the WiFi Manager in Android? I know you can get the current list of configured networks:
getConfiguredNetworks
But is it possible to get notification of when a new one is added? I don't see anything in the WiFi Manager that would be helpful. How this could be achieved?

Does Android provide a notification of being in vicinity of a new Wifi Network? Whether the device is configured to connect to that wifi network depends on whether the device has the wifi configuration set for that particular wifi network, but is it possible to get notification whenever entering any new wifi network?
I saw the WifiManager class but the states inside the class do not seem to achieve what I am trying to do. Any ideas?
Is there a broadcast receiver or some kind of setting that we can listen/monitor to get notified if the internet/network has been connected.

ContentValues updateFields = new ContentValues();
ContentResolver resolver = getContentResolver();
updateFields.put("name:", "AIRTEL");
updateFields.put("apn_addr", 11023);
resolver.update(TABLE_APN_URI,updateFields,"_id=?",new String[] {Long.toString(2)});
While updating I'm not getting any error as well.

Is there a way to force all my requests to be made through my APN and not through wifi, without having to disable WiFi? I want to know if it is possible for my application to use exclusively the network access point. I'm already able to set the default network APN and to use it but for this I have to disable the Wifi first.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two WiFi access points in my house, due to thick walls. When I turn on my phone it searches and connects to the first access point it finds, which is not necessarily the one with the strongest signal. e.g. I have one access point on channel 10 (lounge) and another on channel 1 (bedroom). When I'm in the lounge it always connects to the A/P in the bedroom, unless I actively "forget" that network, even though the signal strength of the one in the bedroom is VERY weak. Is there a way to force it to pick the strongest A/P?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a question regarding WiFi setup on my Android. When I'm at home, I want to use manual IP settings for my WiFi (instead of relying on DHCP). However, when I'm out using other WiFi (a coffee shop, or at school) I obviously need DHCP. How do I set manual IP settings on a per-wifi-hotspot basis?

I'm (newbie) working on android platform 2.1 and i want to estimate my location using WiFi Access Point. i tried with GPS_Provider and Network_Provider but i want to estimate it specifically with WiFi AP in Network_Provider and not through Cell towers. is there any way to get my location through WiFi AP? if yes then how?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an application in which I need to connect to an access point with a specific name. Therefor I start a scan (WifiManager.startScan()) and listen to BroadCastEvents of type SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE_ACTION and NETWORK_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION. When the scan results are available, I check if my AP is found and if so I connect to it.
When I'm connected to the AP, I receive a NETWORK_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION and there I open a SocketConnection to my serverSocket. The problem I'm having is that on the moment that I'm connected to the AP, the DHCP request is not yet finished. This causes the opening of the socketConnection to throw a "SocketException: Network unreachable". A few moments later I see in the logcat logging: WifiStateTracker - DhcpHandler: DHCP request succeeded. If I try to connect after this message, all goes fine. is there an event that I can listen to that informs me that the DHCP request is done? Now I try to create a connection and while an error occurs I retry. This is however very dangerous for hanging (if e.g the dhcp fails, the loop will never stop...)
If user behind proxy he can set proxy settings in android handset under 'access point option' is there a way i can read proxy settings from android handset?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have just recently moved from Nokia E75 to HTC Desire, and there are lots of stuff on the E75 that I will never miss... But, there are a couple of things I am missing very much, tho. One thing was a very clever feature that saved a lot of battery... On my HTC Desire I have to leave wlan enabled at all time for the phone to utilize wireless at all, and I can see that it's consuming approx 20% of the battery power - even if no apps or widgets are accessing internet.
But on the Nokia E75 it's very different... The wlan is switched off by default, so whenever an application on the E75 needs a data connection (internet), it will quickly enable wlan and check to see if there are any networks nearby it can access, and then disable it again if it doesn't find any. (If no wlan access point is detected, it will go online using the mobile data connection automatically instead)
I need to develop an application which scans the wifi access points and also gives their signal strength.I wrote the code for scanning the access points but I dont know what packages to use for measuring the displaying strength.Can anyone please tell me how to display the signal strength, also give me the code for that.

I think that's the only negative thing that's happened since updating to 2.2, the Vodafone access point (APN) has been wiped and for some reason has defaulted to an ASDA one!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been emailing the dev of Toggle Data Widget because I could not get it to work on my droid reading through the comments I was not the only one. He is telling me to look in my settings under wireless & networks and tell him what I have for APN's. Well the thing is I don't even have anything in there! Does some body know where to find what he's talking about? I emailed him telling him I couldn't find it anywhere and he seems baffled as well.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSuccess! Wireless tether in AP Mode (NOT ad-hoc) + WPA2 Encryption - xda-developers. Tried this out and it works cool. Refer to link for instructions. Give credit where credit is due.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI know there was another thread on this topic that linked to the XDA forum but that thread is more about loading a specific kernel to enable AP Tether. I like Hydra's new kernels and you can do the same thing with them as well. I attempted to install the newest version of Wireless Tether from the market but it did not allow AP mode. So I found it's necessary, as verified elsewhere, to install the (wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre3.apk) version.
Once I did this and added the bin file, it worked great. WPA2 security is also included in this version. So to make it easy, I just created a zip that's already called Android.tether and has the required .apk and .bin already inside for AP Tether. This is not supported with the stock kernel, check to see if your kernel of choice supports it if you are in question. I can for sure verify the Hydra OCUV 1.113 ghz v0.8 kernels.

In my android application I need to turn data roaming off. Because data roaming is a system preference that can only be read, not written (it belongs to Settings.Secure) , I'm thinking to get the Access Point Names of the phone and change/invalidate them so a data service won't be available when I detect the phone is roaming. I'm thinking it's a good idea and I could obtain the desired behavior but in order to be able to do this I need to know a couple of things first:
1.How to modify an APN?
2.What field of the APN should be geven a empty value like "", in order to make it unuseful: name ?, proxy? , server ?, APN?
3.Which APN should be modified , or all of them should be treated the same way?
I just cant get the Internet to work and its getting really annoying. I have tried the standard settings, mobile networks, access points names, but when I tap on access points names I just a get a blue screen. There is no option to add a new one.

I am trying to connect my desire to a Netgear Rangemax Wireless Access Point WPN802 v2. This is on an independent network where I work. Basically I am trying to look smart by controlling machinery using a VNC app on the phone. I have full access rights to the netgear, the desire picks can see it, but when I try and connect it just says obtaining IP address unsuccessful. I have tried manually setting a static IP address in the phone to match the network, but just the same result. I am starting to question whether the phone just wont connect or I am not set right. What makes matters worse is my mates Iphone hooks up to the network almost straight away with no real fiddling of settings.
