Android Device WiFi Turn ON and OFF Programatically

If you want access device wifi programatically we need

1. Permissions
2. WifiManager

1. In Project Manifest file add thease permissons

<!-- we try to Enable or Disable WIFI, so we need permission -->

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

   

<!-- we try to fetching current WIFI state, so we need permission -->

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

2. In Project Activity file add this code to get WifiManager

getting WIFI MANAGER from System Service

WifiManager  wifiManager = (WifiManager)          

                             getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);

methods to access wifi status and change wifi status

          WifiManager wifiManager;

          Button buttonON, buttonOFF;

          TextView textView;

          @Override

          protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

                   super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

                   setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

                   // calling references or linking xml to java

                   textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);

                   buttonON = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonON);

                   buttonOFF = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonOFF);

                   // getting WIFI MANAGER from System Service

                   wifiManager = (WifiManager)            

                             getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);

                   // fetching current WIFI status and update to TextView.

                   if (wifiManager.isWifiEnabled())

                             textView.setText("WIFI : ENABLED");

                   else

                             textView.setText("WIFI : DISABLED");

                   // listener for ON button

                   buttonON.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

                             @Override
