Ti.WifiManager

Titanium module for exposing Androids's WifiManager. The module can list the configured networks, can browse all access points. The module can connect to new AP. It supports WEP, WPA (PSK and Enterprise). The button method of WPS will supported.

Thanks to Jean-René Auger and Appwapp for sponsoring.

Permissions

You need ACCESS_WIFI_STATE permission. Some functions need CHANGE_WIFI_STATE and CHANGE_WIFI_MULTICAST_STATE.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_MULTICAST_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.pemissions.OVERRIDE_WIFI_CONFIG" />

The location permission is critical, you need a runtime permission!

Usage

var WM = require("ti.wifimanager");

Receipts

Scanning all access points

var Wifi = require("ti.wifimanager");
Wifi.startWifiScan({
    complete : function(scanned) {
    console.log("runtime="+ scanned.runtime);
    if (scanned.scanResults) {
        scanned.scanResults.forEach(function(scanResult) {
        if (scanResult) {
            console.log("bssid=" + scanResult.getBSSID() + "   rssi=" + scanResult.getRSSI() + "   ssid=" + scanResult.getSSID());
        }
    }
});

Typical result:

Getting all configured APIs

var Wifi = require("ti.wifimanager");
Wifi.getConfiguredNetworks().forEach(function(saved) {
    console.log(saved);
});

Typical result:

[
 {"priority":1,"SSID":"Ringelnetz","status":2,"id":11,"hidden":false,"BSSID":null}
 {"priority":1,"SSID":"IKEA WiFi","status":2,"id":72,"hidden":false,"BSSID":null}
 {"priority":1,"SSID":"Airport_Free_WiFi","status":2,"id":53,"hidden":false,"BSSID":null}

Configure a new AP (after scanning current networks)

var Wifi = require("ti.wifimanager");
var networkId = Wifi.addNetwork({
    bssid : "f8:4f:57:37:f4:2f",
    security : "PSK", // optional, in most case automatic
    password : "sagichdirnicht",
    persist : true // is default
});

Alternativly you can use a scanResult to add a network:

var networkId = Wifi.addNetwork(scanResult.setPasswort("seehrGehe1m,kommtkeinerdrauf"));

In case of enterprise WPA you need additional a name:

var Wifi = require("ti.wifimanager");
var AP = Wifi.addNetwork({
    BSSID : "f8:4f:57:37:f4:2f",
    name : "DigitalTransformationOfficer"
    password : "sagichdirnicht"
});

Connnect with new AP (or older)

var Wifi = require("ti.wifimanager");
Wifi.enableNetwork({
    netId : netId,
    change : function() {
        // Hurra!
    });
});  
Wifi.addEventListener("change",function(event){
    if (event.online == true) {
    // Hurra!
    }
});

You can use for callback the property in method or the event listener.

Connnect with new AP by WPS (PBC)

var Wifi = require("ti.wifimanager");
Wifi.startWPS({
    setup : Wifi.WPS_PBC, 
    onconnected : function() {
    },
    onerror : function() {
},

})

Connnect with new AP by WPS (Pin)

var Wifi = require("ti.wifimanager");
Wifi.startWPS({
    setup : Wifi.WPS_PIN,
    onstarted : function(pin) {
       alert(pin);
    },
    onconnected : function() {
    },
    onerror : function() {
    },
})

Constants

Activity Action: Pick a Wi-Fi network to connect to.

• WM.ACTION_REQUEST_SCAN_ALWAYS_AVAILABLE

_Activity Action: Show a system activity that allows the user to enable scans to be available even with Wi- turned off. _

Config states

• WM.CONFIG_STATUS_CURRENT

• WM.CONFIG_STATUS_DISABLED

_supplicant will not attempt to use this network

• WM.CONFIG_STATUS_ENABLED

_supplicant will consider this network available for association

Status Wifi

• WM.WIFI_STATE_ENABLED
• WM.WIFI_STATE_DISABLED
• WM.WIFI_STATE_ENABLING
• WM.WIFI_STATE_DISABLING

Removing networks

• removeNetwork(networkId)
• removeAllNetworks()

Requesting details from Wifi

WM.getCurrentConnection()

Result:

• SSID
• BSSID
• IP-Address
• LinkSpeed
• MacAddress
• RSSI
• securityMode (OPEN, WEP, PSK, EAP)

WM.getScanResults()

Return the results of the latest access point scan

Result:

• BSSID
• SSID
• securityMode
• level
• frequency
• channelWidth
• timestamp
• status (WM.WifiConfiguration.STATUS_CURRENT,WM.WifiConfiguration.STATUS_ENABLED,WM.WifiConfiguration.STATUS_DISABLED)
• isPasspointNetwork
• is80211mcResponder
• capabilities
• venueName
• operatorFriendlyName

Other methods for inspecting the net

• MW.saveConfiguration() // to persist new configuration
• MW.is5GHzBandSupported()
• MW.isDeviceToApRttSupported()
• MW.isLocationServiceEnabled();
• MW.isEnhancedPowerReportingSupported()
• MW.isP2pSupported()
• MW.isPreferredNetworkOffloadSupported()
• MW.isTdlsSupported()
• MW.isScanAlwaysAvailable()

Setting/updating

enableWifi()

disableWifi()

reconnect()

disableNetwork(BSSID);

enableNetwork(BSSID);

updateNetwork(wifiConfiguration)

var wifiConfiguration = MW.createWifiConfiguration({
    BSSID : BSSID,
    secret : "WEPKEY_or_WPAsharedSecfret"
});

WifiConfiguration

var configuration = MW.createWifiConfiguration({
    BSSID : BSSID,
    secret : "WEPKEY_or_WPAsharedSecfret"
});

Testing of keys

MW.isValidWEPKey();
MW.isValidBSSID();

Handling

The WifiManager holds internally a list of network configurations (with "passwords").

With this method WM.getConfiguredNetworks() can you read all:

var networks = WM.getConfiguredNetworks(); 
for (var i =0; i< networks.length;i++) {
console.log(networks[i].toJSON());
}

Result:

• networkId
• SSID
• BSSID
• priority
• allowedProtocols
• allowedKeyManagement
• allowedAuthAlgorithms
• allowedPairwiseCiphers
• allowedGroupCiphers

You can extend this by adding a new WifiConfiguration creating a new one

var myConf = WM.createWifiConfiguration({
    ssid : ssid
    sharedKey : "geheim", // for wpa
    wepKey : "2423A2E4" // for wep
});

and adding:

WM.addConfiguration(myConf);

Browsing access point

Before you can add a new access point, you need SSID. For this you can get it by:

// Return the results of the latest access point scan
var networks = WM.getScanResults(); 
for (var i =0; i< networks.length;i++) {
    console.log(networks[i]);
}

Result:

• BSSID
• SSID
• securityMode
• level
• frequency
• channelWidth
• timestamp
• isPasspointNetwork
• is80211mcResponder
• capabilities
• venueName
• operatorFriendlyName

Connect with WPS (Wifi Protection Setup)

WPS with Button (PBC)

WM.startWPS({
    setup : WM.WPS_PBC, 
    onconnect : function() {
        console.log("Hurra!");
    },
    onerror : function(){}
});

WPS with Pin

WM.startWPS({
    setup : WM.WPS_PIN,
    onadded : function(pin) {
        alert("Please add this pin " + pin +   " to your AccessPoint");
    }
    onconnect : function() {
        console.log("Hurra!");
    },
    onerror : function(){}
});

During connecting you can cancel the process with:

WM.cancelWPS();
