Android Scan for Wifi networks
- by Nils
Hello, I'm trying to scan for wireless networks and found this helpful source on the net.
Unfortunately it's not working and I have no idea why. My problem is that I can't wait 10 minutes for the result - I need them within a few seconds and thought about setting the boolean variable waiting on false as soon as I get a result.... well, it runs forever ... looks like nothing is received. Any idea ? Thanks.

IntentFilter i = new IntentFilter();
i.addAction(WifiManager.SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE_ACTION);
registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver(){
@Override
public void onReceive(Context c, Intent i){
// Code to execute when SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE_ACTION event occurs
mWifiManager = (WifiManager) c.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
wireless = mWifiManager.getScanResults(); // Returns a <list> of scanResults
waiting = false;
}
}
,i);
// -- End Wifi Sample
mWifiManager.startScan();
while (waiting) {
try {
Thread.sleep(200);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
Log.d("PROJECT1","Wifi WAITING");
}
