How to turn off Wifi via ADB?

by

Using “svc” through ADB (rooted required):

Enable:

adb shell su -c 'svc wifi enable'

Disable:

adb shell su -c 'svc wifi disable'

Using Key Events through ADB:

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.wifi.WifiSettings
adb shell input keyevent 20 & adb shell input keyevent 23

The first line launch “wifi.WifiSettings” activity which open the WiFi Settings page. The second line simulate key presses.

I tested those two lines on a Droid X. But Key Events above probably need to edit in other devices because of different Settings layout.

More info about “keyevents” here.
