I've seen a couple of BroadcastReciever examples to detect wifi disconnects but none of them seem to work correctly (triggering twice for each disconnect for example) and none mention checking against an ssid, is this even possible?
So just to clarify, I want to detect disconnection from a particular ssid. An actual disconnect and not wifi being disabled on the device.
Thanks
EDIT: Re-opening as nothing works on both the devices we have to test.
NETWORK_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION was the answer in the end. The device having the problem registering this event started working when another app (which would also be listening for similar events) was uninstalled! No idea how or why an app could block events registering with another app. The final solution ended up being;
String action = intent.getAction();
if (action.equals(WifiManager.NETWORK_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION))
{
WifiManager manager = (WifiManager)context.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo networkInfo = intent.getParcelableExtra(WifiManager.EXTRA_NETWORK_INFO);
NetworkInfo.State state = networkInfo.getState();
if(state == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED)
{
String connectingToSsid = manager.getConnectionInfo().getSSID().replace("\"", "");
WifiStateHistory.recordConnectedSsid(connectingToSsid);
//connected
}
if(state == NetworkInfo.State.DISCONNECTED)
{
if(manager.isWifiEnabled())
{
String disconnectedFromSsid = WifiStateHistory.getLastConnectedSsid();
//disconnected
}
}
}
