[anaylor01]

Is there anyway of doing this with B4A?

What do you mean with Hotspot? The JVM Hotspot? There is no such thing in Android.

I mean the WIFI Hotspot.

I don't think it is possible, however you can cast an intent to the settings screen with the following:

Dim i As Intent
    i.Initialize("android.settings.ACTION_WIFI_SETTINGS", "") 'i'm not sure if this is the correct one
    StartActivity(i)

You can change ACTION_WIFI_SETTINGS with any code here:

What I am trying to do is create an app that when you click on it it turns on your mobile hopspot.
