Android turn On/Off WiFi HotSpot programmatically

Warning This method will not work beyond 5.0, it was a quite dated entry.

Use the class below to change/check the Wifi hotspot setting:

import android.content.*;
import android.net.wifi.*;
import java.lang.reflect.*;

public class ApManager {

//check whether wifi hotspot on or off
public static boolean isApOn(Context context) {
    WifiManager wifimanager = (WifiManager) context.getSystemService(context.WIFI_SERVICE);     
    try {
        Method method = wifimanager.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("isWifiApEnabled");
        method.setAccessible(true);
        return (Boolean) method.invoke(wifimanager);
    }
    catch (Throwable ignored) {}
    return false;
}

// toggle wifi hotspot on or off
public static boolean configApState(Context context) {
    WifiManager wifimanager = (WifiManager) context.getSystemService(context.WIFI_SERVICE);
    WifiConfiguration wificonfiguration = null;
    try {  
        // if WiFi is on, turn it off
        if(isApOn(context)) {               
            wifimanager.setWifiEnabled(false);
        }               
        Method method = wifimanager.getClass().getMethod("setWifiApEnabled", WifiConfiguration.class, boolean.class);                   
        method.invoke(wifimanager, wificonfiguration, !isApOn(context));
        return true;
    } 
    catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }       
    return false;
}
} // end of class

You need to add the permissions below to your AndroidMainfest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />

Use this standalone ApManager class from anywhere as follows:

ApManager.isApOn(YourActivity.this); // check Ap state :boolean
ApManager.configApState(YourActivity.this); // change Ap state :boolean

Hope this will help someone
