How can I get WiFi Network information (SSID) in a Phonegap app?
While WifiWizard
is great, it seems that it's no longer being maintained on GitHub.
As a replacement, you can use WifiWizard2
which is under active development, as it supports the same methods:
cordova plugin add https://github.com/tripflex/WifiWizard2.git
WifiWizard2.getConnectedSSID(success, fail)
WifiWizard2.getConnectedBSSID(success, fail)
WifiWizard2.scan([options], success, fail)
WifiWizard2 seems to also support both Android and iOS.
However, if like me you also need to use the device's Hotspot or Wifi Tethering with Cordova, I recommend the cordova-hotspot-plugin
package instead. The project is unfortunately discontinued; but for older Android API levels, it still seems to work.
This plugin supports a myriad of methods, full list available here.
There is this plugin for Android and iOS :
cordova plugin add wifiwizard
If you want to get the current SSID of the network you are connected to:
function ssidHandler(s) {
alert("Current SSID"+s);
}
function fail(e) {
alert("Failed"+e);
}
function getCurrentSSID() {
WifiWizard.getCurrentSSID(ssidHandler, fail);
}
If you want to get the list of SSID you have configured before :
function listHandler(a) {
alert(a);
}
function getWifiList() {
WifiWizard.listNetworks(listHandler, fail);
}
If you want to return a complete scan result :
function listHandler2(a) {
alert(JSON.stringify(a));
}
function getScanResult() {
WifiWizard.getScanResults(listHandler2, fail);
}
To test:
<button onclick="getCurrentSSID()">Get Current SSID</button>
<button onclick="getWifiList()">Get configured SSID list</button>
<button onclick="getScanResult()">Get Scan result</button>
Please see what you exactly need to get work from the list of the functions that the link I provided is offering and if you are encountering issues, reply.
