Re: [android-developers] Re: Scan wireless networks periodically
Note that sometimes Android initiates a scan on its own. So if you listen for broadcast SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE, make sure your code is able to handle it anytime, not just initiated from your app. 29.05.2010 5:09, Charly пишет: Thank you for the replies.

Also note that on Froyo you never get SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE (or, after a longer timeout than I wanted to hang around for) if there are no APs nearby whereas previously you did.

Hi, Use alarms On May 26, 8:06 pm, Charly carlos.per...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I'm developing sort of a wireless scanner, so I need to scan every X seconds. I know I should use WifiManager and startScan() to get the networks and then register a receiver to receive the event once the scan has finished. However I'm having problems when trying to figure out how to scan periodically. It's more like a design problem. My solution so far has been to create a Service which takes care of the scanning, besides the main Activity. I think this is correct. So how could I tell this Service to scan every X seconds? I've thought it may have a Thread object, call its Scan method during tart_services() and then take it to sleep. Also I thought I could just get rid of the Service and run the Thread from the main Activity, but then I guess it would die whenever the Activity is not visible. None of then seem like a really good solution to me, and I think there must be an easier way to do this. Could anyone help me please?
