Android Question Wifi finder and connector

Check the warning about the scan feature: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/WifiManager#startScan()

This code will help you to get started with WifiManager: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/access-wifi-information.117901/#content

You will also need to add a broadcast receiver. You can do it with AddRecevier in the manifest editor.

It means that no application will be able to scan wifi networks in future release?? There are many apps using this feature. What will happen to them??

Is your code a replacement of StartScan? I mean would it not be deprecated?

did you fully read the article?

To initiate a Wi-Fi scan, declare the Manifest.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE permission in the manifest, and perform these steps:

1. Invoke the following method: ((WifiManager) getSystemService(WIFI_SERVICE)).startScan()
2. Register a BroadcastReceiver to listen to SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE_ACTION.
3. When a broadcast is received, call: ((WifiManager) getSystemService(WIFI_SERVICE)).getScanResults()

I didn’t read all of the page but StartScan part and I got that “ability of scanning wifi networks in applications will be removed in future and only if you configured that network before, you’ll be able to connect to it in application“. Did I get right? Or I misunderstood?
please help me to understand clearly because I don’t speak English and maybe this made me misunderstand.
I appreciate you.

I think I know how to get wifi networks which are configured before so yeah I’m kind of familiar with that code ( actually if I encountered a problem, I would ask in new thread)
