Enable and Disable WiFi using Program in Android


In this application, we will learn how to enable and disable WiFi using simple code. So create new project and drop only one button on relative layout which will use to enable and disable WiFi and give id button1 to button. The code of android XML file is given below:

Enable and Disable WiFi using Program in AndroidEnable and Disable WiFi using Program in Android
 
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   android:background="#b21"
>
<Button
   android:id="@+id/button1"
   android:layout_width="wrap_content"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
   android:layout_centerVertical="true"
   android:onClick="wwf"
   android:text="Wifi On"
   android:textSize="30sp" />
</RelativeLayout>


Now open your Java file and WiFi manager is used to get WiFi service and enable and disable WiFi. This is very simple because only isWiFienabled() method is used to check WiFi is on or off and change the state of WiFi. The code of android Java file is given below with explanation:


package innosen.wwf; //your package name

import android.net.wifi.WifiManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
  WifiManager wm;
  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
   super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
   setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
  }
  //this method will call on button click
  public void wwf(View v)
  {
   Button b1=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
   //get Wifi service
   wm=(WifiManager)getSystemService(WIFI_SERVICE);
   //Check Wifi is on or off
   if(wm.isWifiEnabled())
   {
     b1.setText("Wifi ON");
     //enable or disable Wifi
     //for enable pass true value
     //for disable pass false value
     wm.setWifiEnabled(false);
   }
   else
   {
     b1.setText("Wifi OFF");
     wm.setWifiEnabled(true);
    }
  }
}

Now open your AndroidManifest.xml file and take permission to check WiFi state and to change WiFi state. The code of AndroidManifest.xml file is given below:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   package="selecm.wwf"
   android:versionCode="1"
   android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
   android:minSdkVersion="8"
   android:targetSdkVersion="10" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE"/>
<application
   android:allowBackup="true"
   android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
   android:label="@string/app_name"
   android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
<activity
   android:name="innosen.wwf.MainActivity"
   android:label="@string/app_name" >
   <intent-filter>
     <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
     <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
   </intent-filter>
   </activity>
  </application>
</manifest>

Now run your application and install .APK file in your mobile and test. You can’t test this application on emulator.
If you have any doubts please comment. Thanks… :)

    1. Create new project in android eclipse and go to src folder -> package -> Main_Activity.java file and paste all Java code there and than go to res folder -> layout -> main_activity.xml file and paste XML code there...than change your AndroidManifast.xml file according to given above example.

    1. just add one more button and use the second turn off service on that button click, so that's so easy.
      In Java:
      wifiOn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.wifiOn);
      wifiOff = (Button) findViewById(R.id.wifiOff);

      final WifiManager wifiManager;

      wifiManager = (WifiManager) getSystemService(WIFI_SERVICE);

      wifiOn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
      @Override
      public void onClick(View view) {
      wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(true);
      Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Wifi is Turned On",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
      }
      });
      wifiOff.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
      @Override
      public void onClick(View view) {
      wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(false);
      Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Wifi is Turned Off",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
      }
      });

    1. Actually it's possible. You'll have to take permission to read sms. Then make some special syntax to read with proper sync
