Android Question How to use WifiConnect Library

[Jakes72]

Hi Code Masters,

I see there is a built in Wifi library in B4A (WifiConnect).
Could someone please give me a simple code snippet of how to use this?

I have added this to the Manifest (Not sure if I need them all):

AddPermission(android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE)
AddPermission(android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE)
AddPermission(android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE)
AddPermission(android.permission.INTERNET)
AddPermission(android.permission.WAKE_LOCK)

And my code so far is:

Dim wifi As WiFiConnect
wifi.connectToSSID(wifi.WIFI_WPA,"MySSID","MyPassword")     '<--- I replace SSID and Password with my real credentials

This does not give any errors, but how do I know I am connected, ie. what are the events I must respond to? How do I send/receive data?

Thank you for your time,

Regards,
Jacques.

But must I use Java methods?
What is the purpose of the built in WifiConnect library then?

Jacques.

Thanks for all the answers guys.
I am just still puzzled though, must I not use the built in library ' WifiConnect ' then?
Erel can you maybe shed some light?

There is no internal library named WifiConnect. Maybe you are asking about WifiDirect.
