I've written the code to create an access point for android devices. I've tested on both emulator and real device.But it doesn't work. Where did i get wrong?
public class MainWAP extends Activity {
WifiManager wifiManager;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_wap);
}
public void openWifi(View v) {
createWifiAccessPoint();
}
private void createWifiAccessPoint() {
if (wifiManager.isWifiEnabled()) {
wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(false);
}
Method[] wmMethods = wifiManager.getClass().getDeclaredMethods();
boolean methodFound = false;
for (Method method: wmMethods) {
if (method.getName().equals("setWifiApEnabled")) {
methodFound = true;
WifiConfiguration netConfig = new WifiConfiguration();
netConfig.SSID = "AccessPoint";
netConfig.allowedAuthAlgorithms.set(
WifiConfiguration.AuthAlgorithm.OPEN);
try {
boolean apstatus = (Boolean) method.invoke(
wifiManager, netConfig, true);
for (Method isWifiApEnabledmethod: wmMethods) {
if (isWifiApEnabledmethod.getName().equals(
"isWifiApEnabled")) {
while (!(Boolean) isWifiApEnabledmethod.invoke(
wifiManager)) {};
for (Method method1: wmMethods) {
if (method1.getName().equals(
"getWifiApState")) {
int apstate;
apstate = (Integer) method1.invoke(
wifiManager);
}
}
}
}
if (apstatus) {
Log.d("Splash Activity",
"Access Point created");
} else {
Log.d("Splash Activity",
"Access Point creation failed");
}
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
if (!methodFound) {
Log.d("Splash Activity",
"cannot configure an access point");
}
}
}
Your WiFiManager is definately not initialized.
In your onCreate method add this:
wifiManager = (WiFiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
You need few things to make this code to work.
1) Init wifiManager onCreate() :
WifiManager wifiManager = (WiFiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
2) You need to ask for this permissions in you AndroidManifest.xml :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_APN_SETTINGS" />
3) Your application need to be signed with system certificates.
With your method of exploiting undocumented APIs using reflection, things might not work well in all scenarios.
Well, you can try adding these in your manifest file and give a try.
android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE
android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE
android.permission.WRITE_APN_SETTINGS

I am trying that opening Wifi hotspot in android,When I run below code it runs successfully for Api 28 I can open Wifi hotspot without getting errror but When I run it in Api 25 for Android 7.1 device it gets below errors, it says get WRITE_SETTINGS permission,but When I tested for Api 28 it doesn't necessary for running application,Why can I get this errros and How can I run it for android Api 25

this code works for Android Api 26 (Oreo) and above , its not gonna work with nougat (api 25)
there is another way to do that , you have to get method called "setWifiApEnabled" Check this peace of code
PS: you have to convert the code from c# to java and dont forget to grant the write settings permission ...
private bool ActivateTethering(string ssid, string password)
{
var myConfiguration = new WifiConfiguration();
WifiManager wifimanager = (WifiManager)Context.GetSystemService(Context.WifiService);
myConfiguration.Ssid = ssid;
myConfiguration.PreSharedKey = password;
myConfiguration.AllowedAuthAlgorithms.Set((int)AuthAlgorithmType.Shared);
myConfiguration.AllowedProtocols.Set((int)ProtocolType.Rsn);
myConfiguration.AllowedProtocols.Set((int)ProtocolType.Wpa);
myConfiguration.AllowedKeyManagement.Set((int)KeyManagementType.WpaPsk);
var enableWifi = wifimanager.Class.GetDeclaredMethods();
try
{
bool setWifiConfig = false;
foreach (var method in enableWifi)
{
if (method.Name.Equals("setWifiApEnabled"))
{
setWifiConfig = (bool)method.Invoke(wifimanager, myConfiguration, true);
break;

I want to control wifi hotspot dynamically in my Android app project. I have tired Reflection (which will not work in Android Oreo and later versions), startLocalOnyNetwork (but I want specific SSID and PASSWORD, which is not possible to configure it).
Then I rooted my phone, Is it possible if the device is rooted ?
Expecting an api to turn on/off wifi hotspot with specific SSID and PASSWORD or use the previous one.
Any possibilities or workarounds ?
Thanks in advance.
To turn on Wifi Hotspot, need some permissions
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS"
tools:ignore="ProtectedPermissions" />
and the permission should be dynamically granted by user
In apps advanced settings -> Modify system settings

Use above methods to turn on/off Wifi Hotspot with SSID and password defined in the settings.
private int AP_STATE_DISABLED = 11;
private int AP_STATE_ENABLING = 12;
private int AP_STATE_ENABLED = 13;
private int AP_STATE_ERROR = 14;
/**
* #return status hot spot enabled or not
*/
public boolean isHotSpotEnabled(Context context) {
Method method = null;
int actualState = 0;
try {
WifiManager mWifiManager = (WifiManager) context.getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
method = mWifiManager.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("getWifiApState");
method.setAccessible(true);
actualState = (Integer) method.invoke(mWifiManager, (Object[]) null);
if (actualState == AP_STATE_ENABLING ||actualState == AP_STATE_ENABLED) {
return true;
}
} catch (IllegalArgumentException | NoSuchMethodException | IllegalAccessException | InvocationTargetException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return false;
}
Above method can be used to get the current state of hotspot
I want turn on or off Mobile Hotspot by pressing a button On or button Off .I have written this code for setOnClickListner and Given Permission in Manifest File.But i am not able to turn on Mobile Hotspot.I just want to turn mobile hotspot On without any configuration of hotspot or mobile data.My android Os version is Marshmellow.
btnHotspotOn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
#SuppressLint("WifiManagerLeak")
public void onClick(View v) {
try {
WifiManager manager = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
Method method = manager.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("setWifiApEnabled", WifiConfiguration.class,
Boolean.TYPE);
method.setAccessible(true);
boolean enable =true;
WifiConfiguration configuration = null;
method.invoke(manager, configuration, enable);
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
Following is the Manifest File:-
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE"/>
I know how to turn on/off wifi hot spot using reflection in android using below method.
private static boolean changeWifiHotspotState(Context context,boolean enable) {
try {
WifiManager manager = (WifiManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
Method method = manager.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("setWifiApEnabled", WifiConfiguration.class,
Boolean.TYPE);
method.setAccessible(true);
WifiConfiguration configuration = enable ? getWifiApConfiguration(manager) : null;
boolean isSuccess = (Boolean) method.invoke(manager, configuration, enable);
return isSuccess;
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return false;
}
But the above method is not working Android 8.0(Oreo).
When I execute above method in Android 8.0, I am getting below statement in logcat.
com.gck.dummy W/WifiManager: com.gck.dummy attempted call to setWifiApEnabled: enabled = true
Is there any other way to on/off hotspot on android 8.0
I thought the LocalOnlyHotspot route was the way to, but as #edsappfactory.com said in the comments - it only gives closed network, no internet access.
In Oreo hot-spotting/tethering moved to ConnectionManager, and its annotated #SystemApi, so (nominally) inaccessible.
As part of something else I was doing, I made an app and put it on github here. It uses reflection to get at the function and DexMaker to generate a subclass of ConnectionManager.OnStartTetheringCallback (which is also inaccessible).
Think it all works okay - bit rough around the edges, so please feel free to make better!
Relevant bits of code are in:
MyOreoWifiManager and;
CallbackMaker
I lost patience trying to get my DexMaker-generated callback to fire the MyOnStartTetheringCallback so all that code is in disarray and commented out.
Finally I got the solution.
Android 8.0, they provided public api to turn on/off hotspot. WifiManager
Below is the code to turn on hotspot
private WifiManager.LocalOnlyHotspotReservation mReservation;
#RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.O)
private void turnOnHotspot() {
WifiManager manager = (WifiManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
manager.startLocalOnlyHotspot(new WifiManager.LocalOnlyHotspotCallback() {
#Override
public void onStarted(WifiManager.LocalOnlyHotspotReservation reservation) {
super.onStarted(reservation);
Log.d(TAG, "Wifi Hotspot is on now");
mReservation = reservation;
}
#Override
public void onStopped() {
super.onStopped();
Log.d(TAG, "onStopped: ");
}
#Override
public void onFailed(int reason) {
super.onFailed(reason);
Log.d(TAG, "onFailed: ");
}
}, new Handler());
}
private void turnOffHotspot() {
if (mReservation != null) {
mReservation.close();
}
}
onStarted(WifiManager.LocalOnlyHotspotReservation reservation) method will be called if hotspot is turned on.. Using WifiManager.LocalOnlyHotspotReservation reference you call close() method to turn off hotspot.
Note:
To turn on hotspot, the Location(GPS) should be enabled in the device. Otherwise, it will throw SecurityException
As per Jon suggestion, I got another way to enable WifiHotSpot in Android Oreo and above.
public boolean enableTetheringNew(MyTetheringCallback callback) {
File outputDir = mContext.getCodeCacheDir();
try {
proxy = ProxyBuilder.forClass(classOnStartTetheringCallback())
.dexCache(outputDir).handler(new InvocationHandler() {
#Override
public Object invoke(Object proxy, Method method, Object[] args) throws Throwable {
switch (method.getName()) {
case "onTetheringStarted":
callback.onTetheringStarted();
break;
case "onTetheringFailed":
callback.onTetheringFailed();
break;
default:
ProxyBuilder.callSuper(proxy, method, args);
}
return null;
}
}).build();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
ConnectivityManager manager = (ConnectivityManager) mContext.getApplicationContext().getSystemService(ConnectivityManager.class);
Method method = null;
try {
method = manager.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("startTethering", int.class, boolean.class, classOnStartTetheringCallback(), Handler.class);
if (method == null) {
Log.e(TAG, "startTetheringMethod is null");
} else {
method.invoke(manager, TETHERING_WIFI, false, proxy, null);
}
return true;
} catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return false;
}
private Class classOnStartTetheringCallback() {
try {
return Class.forName("android.net.ConnectivityManager$OnStartTetheringCallback");
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
I am trying to make an application like "Bluetooth auto tethering" on play store. I read on the forum that Android is very security-aware and will not enable this setting without user interaction.
I need some explanations about how enable bluetooth tethering.
Thank you
I don't know if this is still an issue or not, but I found that using the connect method in the reflection call works. Working off of the code that pmont used from the link in Lorelorelore's answer:
BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
Class<?> classBluetoothPan = null;
Constructor<?> BTPanCtor = null;
Object BTSrvInstance = null;
Method mBTPanConnect;
try {
classBluetoothPan = Class.forName("android.bluetooth.BluetoothPan");
mBTPanConnect = classBluetoothPan.getDeclaredMethod("connect", BluetoothDevice.class);
BTPanCtor = classBluetoothPan.getDeclaredConstructor(Context.class, BluetoothProfile.ServiceListener.class);
BTPanCtor.setAccessible(true);
BTSrvInstance = BTPanCtor.newInstance(myContext, new BTPanServiceListener(myContext));
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Set<BluetoothDevice> pairedDevices = mBluetoothAdapter.getBondedDevices();
// If there are paired devices
if (pairedDevices.size() > 0) {
// Loop through paired devices
for (BluetoothDevice device : pairedDevices) {
try{
mBTPanConnect.invoke(BTSrvInstance, device);
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Of course, this assumes that the bluetooth is enabled, and you only have one paired device. But enabling bluetooth is pretty straightforward using standard (not reflection) calls, and you can just check for the paired device that you want to connect to in the for loop. Also, don't forget the BTPanServiceListener class from the other answer as well.
Hope this helps.
The solution above required some modification in order to work for me. Specifically, the code to enable tethering needs to be in the OnServiceConnected() method. Also I have the following permissions set in the manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS" />
Here is my solution:
public class BluetoothTethering extends ActionBarActivity {
Object instance = null;
Method setTetheringOn = null;
Method isTetheringOn = null;
Object mutex = new Object();
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_bluetooth_tethering);
String sClassName = "android.bluetooth.BluetoothPan";
try {
Class<?> classBluetoothPan = Class.forName(sClassName);
Constructor<?> ctor = classBluetoothPan.getDeclaredConstructor(Context.class, BluetoothProfile.ServiceListener.class);
ctor.setAccessible(true);
// Set Tethering ON
Class[] paramSet = new Class[1];
paramSet[0] = boolean.class;
synchronized (mutex) {
setTetheringOn = classBluetoothPan.getDeclaredMethod("setBluetoothTethering", paramSet);
isTetheringOn = classBluetoothPan.getDeclaredMethod("isTetheringOn", null);
instance = ctor.newInstance(getApplicationContext(), new BTPanServiceListener(getApplicationContext()));
}
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public class BTPanServiceListener implements BluetoothProfile.ServiceListener {
private final Context context;
public BTPanServiceListener(final Context context) {
this.context = context;
}
#Override
public void onServiceConnected(final int profile,
final BluetoothProfile proxy) {
//Some code must be here or the compiler will optimize away this callback.
try {
synchronized (mutex) {
setTetheringOn.invoke(instance, true);
if ((Boolean)isTetheringOn.invoke(instance, null)) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "BT Tethering is on", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "BT Tethering is off", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
public void onServiceDisconnected(final int profile) {
}
}
}
The below code works perfectly for me
String sClassName = "android.bluetooth.BluetoothPan";
try {
Class<?> classBluetoothPan = Class.forName(sClassName);
Constructor<?> ctor = classBluetoothPan.getDeclaredConstructor(Context.class, BluetoothProfile.ServiceListener.class);
ctor.setAccessible(true);
Object instance = ctor.newInstance(getApplicationContext(), new BTPanServiceListener(getApplicationContext()));
// Set Tethering ON
Class[] paramSet = new Class[1];
paramSet[0] = boolean.class;
Method setTetheringOn = classBluetoothPan.getDeclaredMethod("setBluetoothTethering", paramSet);
setTetheringOn.invoke(instance,true);
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
public class BTPanServiceListener implements BluetoothProfile.ServiceListener {
private final Context context;
public BTPanServiceListener(final Context context) {
this.context = context;
}
#Override
public void onServiceConnected(final int profile,
final BluetoothProfile proxy) {
//Some code must be here or the compiler will optimize away this callback.
Log.e("MyApp", "BTPan proxy connected");
}
#Override
public void onServiceDisconnected(final int profile) {
}
}
Here you find a similar question: Bluetooth question
Just replace "isTetheringOn" with "setBluetoothTethering" in the reflection call and pass in a boolean parameter. It should work.
