I have not tested this code, but looking at the Managed Wifi API sample code, this should list the available SSIDs. WlanClient client = new WlanClient(); foreach ( WlanClient.WlanInterface … Read more

Then I am able to use WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE); WifiInfo info = wifiManager.getConnectionInfo(); String ssid = info.getSSID(); UPDATE From android 8.0 onwards we wont … Read more
