Missing method in android.net.wifi.WifiManager

Question

On the site androidjavadoc.com, a method startScanActive is listed in the class WifiManager that makes it possible to perform an active wi-fi scan.

Answer 1

When everything else fails, go to the roots:

http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/2.3.4_r1/android/net/wifi/WifiManager.java#WifiManager.startScanActive%28%29

It is a public method in WifiManager since 1.6, although you're correct in saying that Eclipse does not find that method, for some weird reason.
