I want to connect on Wifi programmatically. I did some test on my old device (bought 4 years ago)and it worked perfectly. However when I did some test on my emulator (android 8.1.0, API 27), it did not not work. Do you have an explanation? (Actually I can see my wifi saved on the saved network of the settings but the device is not connected to the wifi) Here is my code (that I basically copied from an answer in a stack overflow question: How do I connect to a specific Wi-Fi network in Android programmatically?):
findViewById(R.id.connect_to_wifi).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Thread connectionThread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(true);
String ssid = ((TextView)findViewById(R.id.wifi_name)).getText().toString();
String key = ((TextView)findViewById(R.id.wifi_password)).getText().toString();
WifiConfiguration conf = new WifiConfiguration();
conf.SSID = String.format("\"%s\"", ssid);
conf.status = WifiConfiguration.Status.ENABLED;
conf.priority = 40;
//wifiConfig.preSharedKey = String.format("\"%s\"", key);
if (((EditText)findViewById(R.id.encryption)).getText().toString().equals("WEP")) {
Log.v("rht", "Configuring WEP");
conf.allowedKeyManagement.set(WifiConfiguration.KeyMgmt.NONE);
conf.allowedProtocols.set(WifiConfiguration.Protocol.RSN);
conf.allowedProtocols.set(WifiConfiguration.Protocol.WPA);
conf.allowedAuthAlgorithms.set(WifiConfiguration.AuthAlgorithm.OPEN);
conf.allowedAuthAlgorithms.set(WifiConfiguration.AuthAlgorithm.SHARED);
conf.allowedPairwiseCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.PairwiseCipher.CCMP);
conf.allowedPairwiseCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.PairwiseCipher.TKIP);
conf.allowedGroupCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.GroupCipher.WEP40);
conf.allowedGroupCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.GroupCipher.WEP104);
if (key.matches("^[0-9a-fA-F]+$")) {
conf.wepKeys[0] = key;
} else {
conf.wepKeys[0] = "\"".concat(key).concat("\"");
}
conf.wepTxKeyIndex = 0;
} else if (((EditText)findViewById(R.id.encryption)).getText().toString().contains("WPA")) {
Log.v("rht", "Configuring WPA");
conf.allowedProtocols.set(WifiConfiguration.Protocol.RSN);
conf.allowedProtocols.set(WifiConfiguration.Protocol.WPA);

} else {

conf.allowedGroupCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.GroupCipher.CCMP);
conf.allowedGroupCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.GroupCipher.TKIP);
}
int netId = wifiManager.addNetwork(conf);
wifiManager.disconnect();
wifiManager.enableNetwork(netId, true);
wifiManager.reconnect();
}
});
connectionThread.start();
}
});
