Security exception by accessing the wifi in android

Question

Please see the following code

    wifi = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
    if (wifi.isWifiEnabled() == false)
    {
        Toast.mak         


        

Answer 1

To be able to access the wifi you need android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" as you already know.

If you are enabling or disabling the wifi connection you are also going to need both permissions: ACCESS_WIFI_STATE and CHANGE_WIFI_STATE

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

That should do it for you.

Answer 2

It should be "uses-permission" rather than "user-permission". spelling is wrong

Answer 3

add following lines

    <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_NETWORK_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

hope they help!
