   ↳ android.net.wifi.WifiConfiguration

Class Overview

A class representing a configured Wi-Fi network, including the security configuration. Android will not necessarily support all of these security schemes initially.

Summary

Nested Classes
class WifiConfiguration.AuthAlgorithm Recognized IEEE 802.11 authentication algorithms. 
class WifiConfiguration.GroupCipher Recognized group ciphers. 
class WifiConfiguration.KeyMgmt Recognized key management schemes. 
class WifiConfiguration.PairwiseCipher Recognized pairwise ciphers for WPA. 
class WifiConfiguration.Protocol Recognized security protocols. 
class WifiConfiguration.Status Possible status of a network configuration.

Fields
public String BSSID When set, this network configuration entry should only be used when associating with the AP having the specified BSSID.
public String SSID The network's SSID.
public BitSet allowedAuthAlgorithms The set of authentication protocols supported by this configuration.
public BitSet allowedGroupCiphers The set of group ciphers supported by this configuration.
public BitSet allowedKeyManagement The set of key management protocols supported by this configuration.
public BitSet allowedPairwiseCiphers The set of pairwise ciphers for WPA supported by this configuration.
public BitSet allowedProtocols The set of security protocols supported by this configuration.
public boolean hiddenSSID This is a network that does not broadcast its SSID, so an SSID-specific probe request must be used for scans.
public int networkId The ID number that the supplicant uses to identify this network configuration entry.
public String preSharedKey Pre-shared key for use with WPA-PSK.
public int priority Priority determines the preference given to a network by wpa_supplicant when choosing an access point with which to associate.
public int status The current status of this network configuration entry.
public String[] wepKeys Up to four WEP keys.
public int wepTxKeyIndex Default WEP key index, ranging from 0 to 3.

Fields

public String BSSID

Added in API level 1

When set, this network configuration entry should only be used when associating with the AP having the specified BSSID. The value is a string in the format of an Ethernet MAC address, e.g., XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX where each X is a hex digit.

public String SSID

Added in API level 1

The network's SSID. Can either be an ASCII string, which must be enclosed in double quotation marks (e.g., "MyNetwork", or a string of hex digits,which are not enclosed in quotes (e.g., 01a243f405).

public BitSet allowedAuthAlgorithms

Added in API level 1

The set of authentication protocols supported by this configuration. See WifiConfiguration.AuthAlgorithm for descriptions of the values. Defaults to automatic selection.

public BitSet allowedGroupCiphers

Added in API level 1

The set of group ciphers supported by this configuration. See WifiConfiguration.GroupCipher for descriptions of the values. Defaults to CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40.

public BitSet allowedKeyManagement

Added in API level 1

The set of key management protocols supported by this configuration. See WifiConfiguration.KeyMgmt for descriptions of the values. Defaults to WPA-PSK WPA-EAP.

public BitSet allowedPairwiseCiphers

Added in API level 1

The set of pairwise ciphers for WPA supported by this configuration. See WifiConfiguration.PairwiseCipher for descriptions of the values. Defaults to CCMP TKIP.

public BitSet allowedProtocols

Added in API level 1

The set of security protocols supported by this configuration. See WifiConfiguration.Protocol for descriptions of the values. Defaults to WPA RSN.

public boolean hiddenSSID

Added in API level 1

This is a network that does not broadcast its SSID, so an SSID-specific probe request must be used for scans.

public int networkId

Added in API level 1

The ID number that the supplicant uses to identify this network configuration entry. This must be passed as an argument to most calls into the supplicant.

public String preSharedKey

Added in API level 1

Pre-shared key for use with WPA-PSK.

When the value of this key is read, the actual key is not returned, just a "*" if the key has a value, or the null string otherwise.

public int priority

Added in API level 1

Priority determines the preference given to a network by wpa_supplicant when choosing an access point with which to associate.

public int status

Added in API level 1

The current status of this network configuration entry.

public String[] wepKeys

Added in API level 1

Up to four WEP keys. Either an ASCII string enclosed in double quotation marks (e.g., "abcdef" or a string of hex digits (e.g., 0102030405).

When the value of one of these keys is read, the actual key is not returned, just a "*" if the key has a value, or the null string otherwise.

public int wepTxKeyIndex

Added in API level 1

Default WEP key index, ranging from 0 to 3.

Public Methods

public String toString ()

Added in API level 1

Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object. Subclasses are encouraged to override this method and provide an implementation that takes into account the object's type and data. The default implementation is equivalent to the following expression: 

   getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())

See Writing a useful toString method if you intend implementing your own toString method.

Returns
  • a printable representation of this object.
