How to turn off Wifi via ADB?

Question

Im automating a testing procedure for wifi calling and I was wondering is there a way to turn off/on wifi via adb?

I would either like to disable/enable wifi or kill

Answer 1

Simple way to switch wifi on non-rooted devices is to use simple app:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        WifiManager wfm = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
        try {
            wfm.setWifiEnabled(Boolean.parseBoolean(getIntent().getStringExtra("wifi")));
        } catch (Exception e) {
        }
        System.exit(0);
    }
}

AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" />

ADB commands:

$ adb shell am start -n org.mytools.config/.MainActivity -e wifi true
$ adb shell am start -n org.mytools.config/.MainActivity -e wifi false

All these input keyevent combinations are SO android/hardware dependent, it's a pain.

However, I finally found the combination for my old android 4.1 device :

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.wifi.WifiSettings
adb shell "input keyevent KEYCODE_DPAD_LEFT;input keyevent KEYCODE_DPAD_RIGHT;input keyevent KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER"

ADB Connect to wifi with credentials :

You can use the following ADB command to connect to wifi and enter password as well :

adb wait-for-device shell am start -n com.android.settingstest/.wifi.WifiSettings -e WIFI 1 -e AccessPointName "enter_user_name" -e Password "enter_password"

I was searching for the same to turn bluetooth on/off, and I found this:

adb shell svc wifi enable|disable

Answer 5

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.

In Android tests I'm doing so: InstrumentationRegistry.getInstrumentation().getUiAutomation().executeShellCommand("svc wifi enable") InstrumentationRegistry.getInstrumentation().getUiAutomation().executeShellCommand("svc wifi disable")
