Specify the channel (or frequency) for Wi-Fi scan in Android

Question

I understand that do a Wi-Fi scan in Android is pretty simple. You get a WiFiManager, register a BroadcastReceiver and invoke WiFiManager.startScan(). Then you just need to wait.

The problem is I don't want to wait that long. To do this, instead of scanning all the channel, I would like to scan only a few ones (says channel 1, 6, 11). Yet I can't find any API to set the channel to scan. So can any one provide me some tips or hints on how to do this?

Thank you in advanced.

Did you find a solution for this? – Varun Jain Jul 01 '15 at 19:38 — Varun Jain, Jul 01 '15 at 19:38
@VarunJain. No, it seems impossible to do this – huangcd Jul 02 '15 at 01:43 — huangcd, Jul 02 '15 at 01:43

Hm, I just checked class WiFiManager but it seems as if there is no such possibility.
