Hi All,

I am trying to get the name of the Wifi network I am currently connected to in a widget on screen.
I use this widget to swich wifi on and off and to show what I am connected to atm.
I found a bit of code on here and adapted it as follows:

Code: Select all

wifiManager=callJavaMethod(getContext(), "android.content.Context", "getSystemService(java.lang.String)", "wifi");
scanResults=callJavaMethod(wifiManager, "android.net.wifi.WifiManager", "getScanResults()");

for(sr in scanResults)
{
  global_network_ssid=getJavaField(sr, "android.net.wifi.ScanResult", "SSID");

}

but that just shows a randon name of one of the networks available as it just picks one at random of all the networks it scans.
I also know I can get the name of the current connected SSID from WifiInfo#getSSID which I found on here:
https://developer.android.com/reference ... i/WifiInfo
but I can't seem to figure out (as I have no coding background) how to adapt above script to write the global_network_ssid as the value of getSSID

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks very much...

There is an condition WiFi Connected available to get currently connected ssid. It will give you ssid variable.

Thanks, now only thing is which script do I use to let global_wifi_ssid be the variable ssid?

for some reason my brain is having a meltdown.

Use script action after above condition. Put

Code: Select all

global_wifi_ssid = ssid

tried that, that just gives the global variable out as ssid for some reason

sorry, gives the value as null, not ssid

sorted it, I used it as a trigger, not as a condition.
using at a condition, now the script works.

Thanks for your help.
