Warning This method will not work beyond 5.0, it was a quite dated entry.
Use the class below to change/check the Wifi hotspot
setting:
import android.content.*;
import android.net.wifi.*;
import java.lang.reflect.*;
public class ApManager {
//check whether wifi hotspot on or off
public static boolean isApOn(Context context) {
WifiManager wifimanager = (WifiManager) context.getSystemService(context.WIFI_SERVICE);
try {
Method method = wifimanager.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("isWifiApEnabled");
method.setAccessible(true);
return (Boolean) method.invoke(wifimanager);
}
catch (Throwable ignored) {}
return false;
}
// toggle wifi hotspot on or off
public static boolean configApState(Context context) {
WifiManager wifimanager = (WifiManager) context.getSystemService(context.WIFI_SERVICE);
WifiConfiguration wificonfiguration = null;
try {
// if WiFi is on, turn it off
if(isApOn(context)) {
wifimanager.setWifiEnabled(false);
}
Method method = wifimanager.getClass().getMethod("setWifiApEnabled", WifiConfiguration.class, boolean.class);
method.invoke(wifimanager, wificonfiguration, !isApOn(context));
return true;
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return false;
}
} // end of class
You need to add the permissions below to your AndroidMainfest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
Use this standalone ApManager class from anywhere as follows:
ApManager.isApOn(YourActivity.this); // check Ap state :boolean
ApManager.configApState(YourActivity.this); // change Ap state :boolean
Hope this will help someone
