Thanks again Kostya,
One final thing (well final for now, I'll probably run into more problems
after testing)
I was wondering what method you chose to convert the RSSI to a percentage?
I have been reading up on it and found the formula that uses RSSI_MAX value
but I'm unsure of the max RSSI
Thanks Kostya, I think I'm nearly there.
My current problem is adding a new configured access point.
I have it hard coded in my code as follows:
---
WifiConfiguration wc = new WifiConfiguration();
wc.SSID = ''+scanResult.SSID+'';
wc.status =
Donald,
Yes, obviously it's possible - Android's built-it UI for connection
management does it somehow :)
In my program, I do it like this:

Very good tutorial there, thanks.
One thing missing though is how you decide whether a scan result is an open
netowrk or one using WEP or WPA/WPA2?
Do you have to use scanResult.describeContents() or scanResult.capabilities
in some way to determine which type of network to add?

Donal,
It's in scanResult.capabilites, and it's a pretty self-explanatory string.
describeCapabilities is inhertied from Parcelable and has to do with
persistence.

Thanks for that Kostya
I have come across a bit of a problem though.
After a scan there are 11 AP's found and all 11 show up in the list in the
Wifi settings on the device.
But when I use
Donal,
I think you are not matching the SSIDs of known and live networks correctly.
The SSIDs in the known list are enclosed in double quotes:

The SSIDs in the live scan result list are as is, without the
Thanks again Kostya,
I have downloaded your app and had a look, its very nice, the widget will
come in very handy for my testing!
I was aware of the known versus as is quotes.
My problem is for my app to work I need it to scan for AP's when the device
is on the move.
So it should scan, find a
Donald,
Yes, your algorithm is correct. Only add network from the scan list to the
known list if not already there.
As for scanning on the move, take a look at wake locks.

I am currently trying to write a class in Android that will Scan for
access points, calculate which access point has the best signal and
then connect to that access point.
So the application will be able to scan on the move and attach to new
access points on the go.
I have the scanning and
Hi,
1. Regarding duplicates. Android maintains a list of known networks - for
each, it stores the SSID, encryption configuration, along with the password,
if necessary. Each known network also has a unique numeric ID.
You can only connect to networks on this known list, because, as you
correctly
11 matches
