Set Channel of Android HotSpot

Question

Is there a way to set the used Channel for the Android Hotspot?

I know there is no official API for this but are there some way using reflection?

Edit: I found some hints at stackoverflow that i meay be possible:

Field wcAdhocFreq = WifiConfiguration.class.getField("frequency");

Taken from here, but i couldn't find that field in the sources..

It's clearly written in the post you provided, that "frequency" can be set only in CM (CyanogenMod) Android ROM — Mixaz, Feb 21 '14 at 15:09

Probably not

Everything that application can configure is contained in a parcelable WifiConfiguration and it doesn't include the channel.

See my edited question, there seems to be (at least in some android version) a field named "frequency" in WifiConfiguration. – Nick Russler Jun 03 '13 at 14:34
looks like it is a CyanogenMod extension – msh Jun 03 '13 at 14:48

You can use the channel field:

Field wcFreq = WifiConfiguration.class.getField("channel");
wcFreq.setInt(wifiConf, 1);

This will change the hotspot to channel 1.
