How to enable/disable WiFi from an application?
Solution 1
WifiManager wifi = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
wifi.setWifiEnabled(false); // true or false to activate/deactivate wifi
You also need to request the permission in your AndroidManifest.xml :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" />
Solution 2
To enable/disable WiFi in your application you need to use WiFiManager class. Create an Object of WiFiManager class to get the services of WiFi.
WifiManager wifi;
wifi=(WifiManager)getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
wifi.setWifiEnabled(false);//Turn off Wifi
wifi.setWifiEnabled(true);//Turn on Wifi
And you have to put the following permissions in AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.UPDATE_DEVICE_STATS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />

Solution 3
try this code
Intent gpsOptionsIntent = new Intent( android.provider.Settings.ACTION_WIFI_SETTINGS);
startActivityForResult(gpsOptionsIntent,0);
Solution 4
try this
public void disableWifi(Context context, Boolean bool) {
WifiManager wifi = (WifiManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
if(bool)
wifi.setWifiEnabled(false);
else
wifi.setWifiEnabled(true);
}
Solution 5
To enable/disable wifi from an app in Android Q (Android 10) use Settings Panel:
val panelIntent = Intent(Settings.Panel.ACTION_INTERNET_CONNECTIVITY)
startActivityForResult(panelIntent, 0)
On previous versions of Android this should work (appropriate permissions should be added to AndroidManifest file, see answers above):
(context?.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE) as? WifiManager)?.apply { isWifiEnabled = true /*or false*/ }
Resulting code might look something like this:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) {
val panelIntent = Intent(Settings.Panel.ACTION_INTERNET_CONNECTIVITY)
startActivityForResult(panelIntent, 0)
} else {
(context?.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE) as? WifiManager)?.apply { isWifiEnabled = true /*or false*/ }
}
Where context
is a reference to android.content.Context
object.
