I tried to change mobile hotsport broadcast channel in android by programmatically by using following code but it not changing any value/channel.
Note: I able to change the SSID and Password by programmatically.
I tried to set channel 11,
Still it not working...
Thanks in advance
My code is
public void HotspotChannelWrite() {
WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager)getSystemService(WIFI_SERVICE);
if(wifiManager.isWifiEnabled())
{
wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(false);
}
netConfig = new WifiConfiguration();
netConfig.SSID = "TipturInfo";
netConfig.preSharedKey = "Sharath";
netConfig.allowedAuthAlgorithms.set(WifiConfiguration.AuthAlgorithm.OPEN);
netConfig.allowedProtocols.set(WifiConfiguration.Protocol.RSN);
netConfig.allowedProtocols.set(WifiConfiguration.Protocol.WPA);
netConfig.allowedKeyManagement.set(WifiConfiguration.KeyMgmt.WPA_PSK);
netConfig.allowedGroupCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.GroupCipher.TKIP);
netConfig.allowedGroupCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.GroupCipher.CCMP);
netConfig.allowedPairwiseCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.PairwiseCipher.TKIP);
netConfig.allowedPairwiseCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.PairwiseCipher.CCMP);
try {
Method setWifiApMethod = wifiManager.getClass().getMethod("setWifiApEnabled", WifiConfiguration.class, boolean.class);
boolean apstatus=(Boolean) setWifiApMethod.invoke(wifiManager, netConfig,true);
Method isWifiApEnabledmethod = wifiManager.getClass().getMethod("isWifiApEnabled");
while(!(Boolean)isWifiApEnabledmethod.invoke(wifiManager)){};
Method getWifiApStateMethod = wifiManager.getClass().getMethod("getWifiApState");
int apstate=(Integer)getWifiApStateMethod.invoke(wifiManager);
Method getWifiApConfigurationMethod = wifiManager.getClass().getMethod("getWifiApConfiguration");
netConfig=(WifiConfiguration)getWifiApConfigurationMethod.invoke(wifiManager);
Log.i("Writing HotspotData", "\nSSID:"+netConfig.SSID+"\nPassword:"+netConfig.preSharedKey+"\n");
// For Channel change
Field wcAdhocFreq = WifiConfiguration.class.getField("frequency");
int freq = 2462; // default to channel 11
wcAdhocFreq.setInt(netConfig, freq);
Log.i("HotspotData Channel", "\n Frequence:"+freq );
Log.i("HotspotData Channel", "\n Frequence:"+wcAdhocFreq );
// For Saving Data
wifiManager.saveConfiguration();
} catch (IllegalFormatException ife) {
ife.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
wifiManager.saveConfiguration();
}
I tried alternative way as well:
Field wcFreq = WifiConfiguration.class.getField("channel");
wcFreq.setInt(netConfig,11);
Try this, works for Android 7.0
Method getWifiApConfigurationMethod = wifiManager.getClass().getMethod("getWifiApConfiguration");
netConfig=(WifiConfiguration)getWifiApConfigurationMethod.invoke(wifiManager);
//Log.i("Writing HotspotData", "\nSSID:" + netConfig.SSID + "\nPassword:" + netConfig.preSharedKey + "\n");
Field wcBand = WifiConfiguration.class.getField("apBand");
int vb = wcBand.getInt(netConfig);
Log.i("Band was", "val=" + vb);
wcBand.setInt(netConfig, 2); // 2Ghz
// For Channel change
Field wcFreq = WifiConfiguration.class.getField("apChannel");
int val = wcFreq.getInt(netConfig);
Log.i("Config was", "val=" + val);
wcFreq.setInt(netConfig,11); // channel 11
Method setWifiApConfigurationMethod = wifiManager.getClass().getMethod("setWifiApConfiguration", WifiConfiguration.class);
setWifiApConfigurationMethod.invoke(wifiManager, netConfig);
// For Saving Data
wifiManager.saveConfiguration();
