Hi priya,

Welcome to the Kodular community

Always check in the community before opening a new topic

List available WiFi-Hotspots in ListView

Hi, i’m new in using kodular and very impressed about the possibillities! What i wanted to do (and failed): Listing all available WiFi-Hotspots in a listview Therefore i installed the taifun extension and tried this: [grafik] Unfortunately i dont get the “done” message in the textfield and also not the list of WiFi-Hotspots. Can you help me so that i get my first hello world experience ? Best wishes Daniel

[priya_shah]

The latest version of the wifi extension you can find here

App Inventor Extensions: WiFi | Pura Vida Apps

Taifun

[priya_shah]

yeah but it is very expensive because it is in dollars
so i want a extension that is free and has the ability to connect to a required ssid with password
@RaYzZz helped me.

You probably have overseen, that the example is using my extension
There is a free and paid version available

@priya_shah

has the ability to connect to a required ssid with password

From the documentation

Latest free version of the WiFi extension (without Network Request API and Network Suggestion API methods)

I still provide the latest free version 15 of the extension here without support. There might be permission issues for some methods. Also the Connect method will not work anymore for newer devices. It is recommended to use the paid version instead.

As a solution to the post i’ve mentioned there was also the possibility of using the activiy starter.

EDIT: After checking online, the only solution that can guarantee everything you need is Taifun’s extension.
It’s paid, but it’s reliable both in terms of functionality and updates.

[priya_shah]

yeah i know. i only need the ability to connect and do a wifi scan and check which wifi is the phone connected to.. I do not want any complicated features like get DNS server

@priya_shah

to connect

Google changed a lot in the last 3 years in this area, which means it is not that simple anymore as in the past…

Nowadays you have to connect using the network request api or network suggestion api, read more about these options here App Inventor Extensions: WiFi | Pura Vida Apps

@priya_shah

I do not want any complicated features like get DNS server

That’s one of the simple features

i got my solution and it is working however please tell me a way to be able to connect to WIFI without using the activity starter

EDIT: because sometimes the extension does not get imported in the project and then i am unable to do anything related to the extension

@priya_shah

please tell me a way to be able to connect to WIFI without using the activity starter

are you talking about enable/disable wifi?
from the documentation at App Inventor Extensions: WiFi | Pura Vida Apps

starting from Android 10, it is not possible anymore to enable Wifi programmatically, see also this stackoverflow answer, therefore a dialog for the user will be provided, see also this Activity Starter solution.

Hi, @priya_shah if you want to get Wi-Fi Component, it’s in the Component Palette then scroll down and choose Connectivity then you will see Wi-Fi Component, and no need for extensions

You need an SSID eh…
And Extension…
Just use Wi-Fi Component.
