    WIFI  = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.WIFI);
 // Create an ArrayAdapter using the string array and a default spinner layout
 ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this,
         R.array.WIFI, android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line);
 // Specify the layout to use when the list of choices appears
 adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
 // Apply the adapter to the spinner
 WIFI.setAdapter(adapter);
 WIFI.setOnItemSelectedListener(new MyOnItemSelectedListener());

Add this piece of code to your listener

WifiManager wifi = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
wifi.setWifiEnabled(true);

or for toggle behaviour

wifi.setWifiEnabled(!wifi.isWifiEnabled());

You will probably need to add some permissions to your manifest

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

See WifiManager for more options...

And as far as I know, there is no API for hotspot features. You would have to use reflection to call those methods...

To do this you will need to get the text (or selection) of your spinner, then you will need to toggle the WiFi settings.

Getting the selected item on a spinner

  • Get spinner selected items text?

    String Text = mySpinner.getSelectedItem().toString();
if (Text.equals("on"){
    //put below code here
} else {
    //put more code here
}
