The following method doesn t require root and should work anywhere  according to docs  even on Android Q   if you keep targetSdkVersion   28     Make a blank app  Create a ContentProvider   class ApiProvider   ContentProvider          private val wifiManager  WifiManager  by lazy LazyThreadSafetyMode NONE            requireContext   getSystemService WIFI SERVICE  as WifiManager             private fun requireContext     checkNotNull context       private val matcher   UriMatcher UriMatcher NO MATCH  apply           addURI  wifi    enable   0          addURI  wifi    disable   1             override fun query uri  Uri  projection  Array lt out String gt    selection  String   selectionArgs  Array lt out String gt    sortOrder  String    Cursor            when  matcher match uri                 0 - gt                    enforceAdb                   withClearCallingIdentity                       wifiManager  isWifiEnabled   true                                             1 - gt                    enforceAdb                   withClearCallingIdentity                       wifiManager  isWifiEnabled   false                                                   return null            private fun enforceAdb             val callingUid   Binder getCallingUid           if  callingUid    2000  amp  amp  callingUid    0                throw SecurityException  Only shell or root allowed                         private inline fun  lt T gt  withClearCallingIdentity block     - gt  T   T           val token   Binder clearCallingIdentity           try               return block             finally               Binder restoreCallingIdentity token                       override fun onCreate    Boolean   true      override fun insert uri  Uri  values  ContentValues    Uri    null      override fun update uri  Uri  values  ContentValues   selection  String   selectionArgs  Array lt out String gt     Int   0      override fun delete uri  Uri  selection  String   selectionArgs  Array lt out String gt     Int   0      override fun getType uri  Uri   String    null    Declare it in AndroidManifest xml along with necessary permission    lt uses-permission android name  android permission CHANGE WIFI STATE    gt    lt application gt        lt provider         android name   ApiProvider          android authorities  wifi          android exported  true    gt   lt  application gt   Build the app and install it  Call from ADB   adb shell content query --uri content   wifi enable adb shell content query --uri content   wifi disable  Make a batch script shell function shell alias with a short name that calls these commands    Depending on your device you may need additional permissions

Using  svc  through ADB  rooted required    Enable   adb shell su -c  svc wifi enable    Disable   adb shell su -c  svc wifi disable    Using Key Events through ADB   adb shell am start -a android intent action MAIN -n com android settings  wifi WifiSettings adb shell input keyevent 20  amp  adb shell input keyevent 23   The first line launch  wifi WifiSettings  activity which open the WiFi Settings page  The second line simulate key presses   I tested those two lines on a Droid X  But Key Events above probably need to edit in other devices because of different Settings layout   More info about  keyevents  here

This works as of android 7 1 1  non-rooted  adb shell am start -a android intent action MAIN -n com android settings  wifi WifiSettings  amp  amp  adb shell input keyevent 23  amp  amp  adb shell input keyevent 23   This will launch the activity and then send the DPAD center keyevent   I added another DPAD center as an experiment to see if you can enable it in the same way

Simple way to switch wifi on non-rooted devices is to use simple app   public class MainActivity extends Activity         Override     public void onCreate Bundle savedInstanceState            super onCreate savedInstanceState           setContentView R layout activity main           WifiManager wfm    WifiManager  getSystemService Context WIFI SERVICE           try               wfm setWifiEnabled Boolean parseBoolean getIntent   getStringExtra  wifi                catch  Exception e                      System exit 0             AndroidManifest xml    lt uses-permission android name  android permission CHANGE WIFI STATE    gt    ADB commands     adb shell am start -n org mytools config  MainActivity -e wifi true   adb shell am start -n org mytools config  MainActivity -e wifi false

I can just do   settings put global wifi on 0 settings put global wifi scan always enabled 0   Sometimes  if done during boot  i e  to fix bootloop such as this   it doesn t apply well and you can proceed also enabling airplane mode first   settings put global airplane mode on 1 settings put global wifi on 0 settings put global wifi scan always enabled 0   Other option is to force this with   while true  do settings put global wifi on 0  done   Tested in Android 7 on LG G5  SE  with  unrooted  stock mod
