I realise that there is no API on 3.x or 4.x for those setting per SSID. Therefore, I checked out the source code and found out that the configuration of each SSID is stored in android.net.wifi.WifiConfiguration
which is gotten from android.net.wifi.WifiManager
.
In the below code, IpAssignment
is an Enum, either STAIC
, DHCP
or NONE
.
And linkProperties
is the object store IP address, gateway, DNS, etc...
linkAddress
is IP address and its netmask as prefixLength (how many bit 1 in netmask).
mRoutes
is ArrayList
of RouteInfo
that can indicate gateway.
mDnses
is ArrayList
of InetAddress
for DNS.
Firstly, get the current configuration using WifiConfiguration
SSID
WifiConfiguration wifiConf = null;
WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager)getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
WifiInfo connectionInfo = wifiManager.getConnectionInfo();
List<WifiConfiguration> configuredNetworks = wifiManager.getConfiguredNetworks();
for (WifiConfiguration conf : configuredNetworks){
if (conf.networkId == connectionInfo.getNetworkId()){
wifiConf = conf;
break;
}
}
As the IpAssignment
and linkProperties
are hidden, the object can be gotten from reflection.
The following method can set the declared IP address setting on SSID WifiConfiguration:
public static void setIpAssignment(String assign , WifiConfiguration wifiConf)
throws SecurityException, IllegalArgumentException, NoSuchFieldException, IllegalAccessException{
setEnumField(wifiConf, assign, "ipAssignment");
}
public static void setIpAddress(InetAddress addr, int prefixLength, WifiConfiguration wifiConf)
throws SecurityException, IllegalArgumentException, NoSuchFieldException, IllegalAccessException,
NoSuchMethodException, ClassNotFoundException, InstantiationException, InvocationTargetException{
Object linkProperties = getField(wifiConf, "linkProperties");
if(linkProperties == null)return;
Class laClass = Class.forName("android.net.LinkAddress");
Constructor laConstructor = laClass.getConstructor(new Class[]{InetAddress.class, int.class});
Object linkAddress = laConstructor.newInstance(addr, prefixLength);
ArrayList mLinkAddresses = (ArrayList)getDeclaredField(linkProperties, "mLinkAddresses");
mLinkAddresses.clear();
mLinkAddresses.add(linkAddress);
}
public static void setGateway(InetAddress gateway, WifiConfiguration wifiConf)
throws SecurityException, IllegalArgumentException, NoSuchFieldException, IllegalAccessException,
ClassNotFoundException, NoSuchMethodException, InstantiationException, InvocationTargetException{
Object linkProperties = getField(wifiConf, "linkProperties");
if(linkProperties == null)return;
Class routeInfoClass = Class.forName("android.net.RouteInfo");
Constructor routeInfoConstructor = routeInfoClass.getConstructor(new Class[]{InetAddress.class});
Object routeInfo = routeInfoConstructor.newInstance(gateway);
ArrayList mRoutes = (ArrayList)getDeclaredField(linkProperties, "mRoutes");
mRoutes.clear();
mRoutes.add(routeInfo);
}
public static void setDNS(InetAddress dns, WifiConfiguration wifiConf)
throws SecurityException, IllegalArgumentException, NoSuchFieldException, IllegalAccessException{
Object linkProperties = getField(wifiConf, "linkProperties");
if(linkProperties == null)return;
ArrayList<InetAddress> mDnses = (ArrayList<InetAddress>)getDeclaredField(linkProperties, "mDnses");
mDnses.clear(); //or add a new dns address , here I just want to replace DNS1
mDnses.add(dns);
}
public static Object getField(Object obj, String name)
throws SecurityException, NoSuchFieldException, IllegalArgumentException, IllegalAccessException{
Field f = obj.getClass().getField(name);
Object out = f.get(obj);
return out;
}
public static Object getDeclaredField(Object obj, String name)
throws SecurityException, NoSuchFieldException,
IllegalArgumentException, IllegalAccessException {
Field f = obj.getClass().getDeclaredField(name);
f.setAccessible(true);
Object out = f.get(obj);
return out;
}
private static void setEnumField(Object obj, String value, String name)
throws SecurityException, NoSuchFieldException, IllegalArgumentException, IllegalAccessException{
Field f = obj.getClass().getField(name);
f.set(obj, Enum.valueOf((Class<Enum>) f.getType(), value));
}
After that, I can set setting and update WifiConfiguration
for this SSID.
try{
setIpAssignment("STATIC", wifiConf); //or "DHCP" for dynamic setting
setIpAddress(InetAddress.getByName("192.168.0.100"), 24, wifiConf);
setGateway(InetAddress.getByName("4.4.4.4"), wifiConf);
setDNS(InetAddress.getByName("4.4.4.4"), wifiConf);
wifiManager.updateNetwork(wifiConf); //apply the setting
wifiManager.saveConfiguration(); //Save it
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
Edit:
Sorry for I don't check for Android 3.x device that have silmilar UI with Android 4.x.
In Android 3.x, the gateway is storted in mGateways
of linkProperties
.
mGateways
is Arraylist
of type InetAddress
. Therefore, following should work in Android 3.x.
public static void setGateway(InetAddress gateway, WifiConfiguration wifiConf)
throws SecurityException, IllegalArgumentException, NoSuchFieldException, IllegalAccessException,
ClassNotFoundException, NoSuchMethodException, InstantiationException, InvocationTargetException{
Object linkProperties = getField(wifiConf, "linkProperties");
if(linkProperties == null)return;
ArrayList mGateways = (ArrayList)getDeclaredField(linkProperties, "mGateways");
mGateways.clear();
mGateways.add(gateway);
}
Edit2: The methods setIpAddress
, setGateway
, setDNS
should be inputted as InetAddress
type.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: android.net.RouteInfo
