I've been searching a lot about this topic but I didn't find anything useful up till now, I want to create a simple application that can read

  1. WiFi Signal Strength
  2. SSID of AP

using Java. Is this possible, if yes then how?

Also i have another question, can I make the same application using J2ME?

  • You're dealing with hardware on a pretty low level, which generally requires dealing with the OS of your system. What OS are you running? – Nick ODell Oct 17 '11 at 20:55

  • You'll likely need native code, for starters maybe look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1192376/wlan-api-for-getting-signal-strenth – prunge Oct 17 '11 at 23:53

On Windows you would have to get an adapter from Riverbed, AirPcap. They have an API you can consume with native code. Once you compile a DLL you can use JNI to talk to that.
