[android-developers] Re: Developing Wi-Fi applications in the emulator
Hi,
anyone know if it is possible to feed the emulator with some real
data for the WiFi interface? To be more specific, get some the rssi
measures, ap scan list from a real device and put it for the
WifiManager API read and use?
For example, for the GPS is possible to use some real data, from kml
or even with any log file used as a trace from a real device.

Hi all,
I've come to the assumption that I wont be able to get wifi working
within the emulator, so I'm trying to come up with some dummy data to
pretend that its come from the wpa_supplicant.
With this in mind, I'm trying to spoof some ScanResult structures, as
returned by the WifiManager.getScanResult().
However, it would seem like this API is still in a state of flux - for
example ScanResult.capabilities is documented as returning a String,
but with a TODO note saying that it should be parsed into a
WifiConfiguration object. Does this mean that the API will change so
that it returns the WifiConfiguration object, or is it expected of the
user to parse the string?
Would any body be able to clarify the situation with regards to how I
should be able to detect the parameters of a wifi network?
If somebody has access to a real device, could they please send me
some example strings as returned by ScanResult.capabilities? In
particular, what would a free/open-access wifi network capabilities
string look like?
I'd really appreciate the help/guidance that any one has to offer.
Kind Regards

Guys, I'm really having trouble with the wifi API - even to the point
where I am unable to create any dummy data to work with.
My code is as follows:
WifiManager wm = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
Log.d(TAG, Scanning for WIFI Networks);
ListScanResult scan = wm.getScanResults();
WifiConfiguration apConfigs[] = new WifiConfiguration[3];
if (scan == null)
{
Log.d(TAG, No Networks Found. Falling back to debug mode);
// Set up the dummy AP Configurations (WifiConfiguration classes)
Log.d(TAG, About to set BSSID);
apConfigs[0].BSSID = 00:40:05:a5:88:0d;
Log.d(TAG, BSSID is now set);
[...snip...]
return;
}
The only output I get from this, however, is as shown below:
D/HotSpotWatcher( 596): Scanning for WIFI Networks
D/HotSpotWatcher( 596): No Networks Found. Falling back to debug mode
D/HotSpotWatcher( 596): About to set BSSID
D/dalvikvm( 116): GC freed 3 objects / 72 bytes in 66ms
D/dalvikvm( 90): GC freed 1138 objects / 55512 bytes in 82ms
It would seem like attempting to set the BSSID is making the function
return early, because it never actually prints out BSSID is now set.
Can any body help please?
Kind regards

[android-developers] Re: Developing Wi-Fi applications in the emulator
Hello Guys, have you already tried the Wifi capabilities of the new release (android-sdk-windows-1.0_r1)?! Have you managed to enable the Wifi in the emulator by calling setWifiEnabled(true) ? The call of the isWifiEnabled()-method returns false... any ideas?!

[android-developers] Re: Developing Wi-Fi applications in the emulator
Hi Megha Joshi,
In the 1.0 SDK, WifiManager.getScanResults() returns a list of
ScanResult objects, each of which contains a capabilities String.
Please could you provide an example of what form this string might be?
I'm trying to get an understanding of how I might have to parse this
information in order to construct my own class to represent the
authentication, key management, and encryption schemes of wifi
networks.
Many thanks in advance
