I'm new to Android Studio and I'm using the functionality of Local Only Hotspot to turn on and off programmatically the hotspot (found this two post for reference: How to turn on/off wifi hotspot programmatically in Android 8.0 (Oreo),How to turn on Wifi-Hotspot programmatically on Android >= 7.1 (including sharing the internet access)? .
private void turnOnHotspot() {
wifiManager.startLocalOnlyHotspot(new
WifiManager.LocalOnlyHotspotCallback()
{
@Override
public void onStarted(WifiManager.LocalOnlyHotspotReservation reservation) {
super.onStarted(reservation);
hotspotReservation = reservation;
String key = hotspotReservation.getWifiConfiguration().preSharedKey;
String ussid = hotspotReservation.getWifiConfiguration().SSID;
System.out.println("KEY: "+ key);
System.out.println("USSID: "+ ussid);
currentConfig = hotspotReservation.getWifiConfiguration();
System.out.println("STARTED THE HOTSPOT");
}
@Override
public void onStopped() {
super.onStopped();
System.out.println("STOPPED THE HOTSPOT");
}
@Override
public void onFailed(int reason) {
super.onFailed(reason);
System.out.println("FAILED THE HOTSPOT");
}
}, new Handler());
}
private void turnOffHotspot() {
active = false;
if (hotspotReservation != null) {
hotspotReservation.close();
System.out.println("CLOSE HOTSPOT");
}
}
But from what I gather from other older posts and documentation, this method gives a local network without internet access and a random SSID and Password that cannot be personalised. I need to connect only one device to this hotspot to share the mobile data (to have internet access), but I didn't find anything that could have help me. Is there another alternative?
