How to enable or disable Wifi in android programmatically

In this post, we will see how to enable or disable Wifi in android programmatically.
It is very simple to enable or disable wifi from android code.
For enabling WiFi:

WifiManager wifi = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);

wifi.setWifiEnabled(true);

For disabling Wifi:

WifiManager wifi = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);

wifi.setWifiEnabled(false);

So you can enable or disable WiFi using WifiManger class.

Step 1 :

Create an android application project named “EnableDisableWiFiApp”.

Step 2:

Add following permissions in AndoridManifest.xml.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE"/>

Go to app -> src -> main -> AndroidManifest.xml and add above permissions. AndroidManifest.xml will look like below xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

package="com.java2blog.enabledisablewifiapp">

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE"/>

<application

android:allowBackup="true"

android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"

android:label="@string/app_name"

android:supportsRtl="true"

android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

<intent-filter>

</intent-filter>

</activity>

</application>

</manifest>

Step 3 :

Change res ->layout -> activity_main.xml as below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="match_parent"

android:layout_margin="16dp"

android:gravity="center"

android:orientation="vertical">

<ToggleButton

android:id="@+id/toggleButton"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:checked="false"

<TextView

android:id="@+id/textView"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_marginTop="16dp"

</LinearLayout>

Step 4:

Change src/main/packageName/MainActivity.java as below:

package com.java2blog.enabledisablewifiapp;

import android.content.Context;

import android.net.wifi.WifiManager;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;

import android.widget.CompoundButton;

import android.widget.TextView;

import android.widget.ToggleButton;

import com.java2blog.enabledisablewifiapp.R;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

ToggleButton toggleButton;

TextView textView;

@Override

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

// Getting toggle button and textView from activity_main

toggleButton = (ToggleButton) findViewById(R.id.toggleButton);

textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);

// Put listener on toggle button

toggleButton.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {

@Override

public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton compoundButton, boolean checked) {

if (checked) {

textView.setText("WiFi is ON");

WifiManager wifi = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);

wifi.setWifiEnabled(true);

} else {

textView.setText("WiFi is OFF");

WifiManager wifi = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);

wifi.setWifiEnabled(false);

}

});

// For initial setting

if (toggleButton.isChecked()) {

textView.setText("WiFi is ON");

WifiManager wifi = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);

wifi.setWifiEnabled(true);

} else {

textView.setText("WiFi is OFF");

WifiManager wifi = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);

wifi.setWifiEnabled(false);

}

Step 5:

Run the app
When you run the app, you will get below screen:

When you click on toggle button, you will get below screen:
