androidnetwork-programmingpermissionsandroid-wifibssid

getBSSID() returns "02:00:00:00:00:00" and getNetworkId() returns "-1" even with the "ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" permission set

I just noticed that WifiManager.WifiInfo.getBSSID() now returns 02:00:00:00:00:00 and that WifiManager.WifiInfo.getNetworkId() returns -1 even with the ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION permission set.

It's interesting because it used to work great before. It seems that the problem appeared after an Android update.

Solution

  • The solution was to replace ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION with ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION.
