Question

I want to get signal strength of this wifi which is connected with my device. This is probably easy. But I am beginner. And It\'s homework. How to get it?

I tried th

Answer 1

Get Signal Strength of Scanned Wifi Networks. I'm working with fragments here, so you can change if you want for Activity accordingly.

WifiManager mWifiManager;
WifiReceiver mWifiReceiver;
List<ScanResult> wifiList;

@Override
public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
    super.onAttach(activity);
    mWifiManager = (WifiManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
    if (!mWifiManager.isWifiEnabled()) {
        // If wifi disabled then enable it
        Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "wifi is disabled..making it enabled",
                Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        mWifiManager.setWifiEnabled(true);
    }
    mWifiReceiver = new WifiReceiver();
    IntentFilter mIntentFilter = new IntentFilter(WifiManager.SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE_ACTION);
    mIntentFilter.addAction(WifiManager.RSSI_CHANGED_ACTION);
    getActivity().registerReceiver(mWifiReceiver, mIntentFilter);
    mWifiManager.startScan();
}


  public void onPause() {
    getActivity().unregisterReceiver(mWifiReceiver);
    super.onPause();
}

public void onResume() {
    getActivity().registerReceiver(mWifiReceiver, new IntentFilter(WifiManager.SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE_ACTION));
    super.onResume();
}



class WifiReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
        // This method call when number of wifi connections changed
      public void onReceive(Context c, Intent intent) {
            int state = mWifiManager.getWifiState();
            int maxLevel = 5;
            if (state == WifiManager.WIFI_STATE_ENABLED) {
                // Get Scanned results in an array List
                wifiList = mWifiManager.getScanResults();
                // Iterate on the list 
                for (ScanResult result : wifiList) {
                    //The level of each wifiNetwork from 0-5
                    int level = WifiManager.calculateSignalLevel(
                            result.level,maxLevel);
                    String SSID = result.SSID;
                    String capabilities = result.capabilities;
                    // TODO add your own code.
                }
            }
        }
    }

You need to add permissions

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

Hope it works..

public void onReceive(WifiManager wifiManager) {
                      int numberOfLevels=5;
                      WifiInfo wifiInfo = wifiManager.getConnectionInfo();
                      int level=WifiManager.calculateSignalLevel(wifiInfo.getRssi(), numberOfLevels);
                      System.out.println("Bars =" +level);
                }
