Can I find the MAC address of my Access point in Android?

Question

Can my Android app find the MAC address of the Wifi access point it is connected to?

The docs for android.net.wifi.WifiInfo getMacAddress() don't provide any details.

See http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/WifiInfo.html#getMacAddress().

I'm assuming this is the Mac address of my phone. Can I find the Mac address of the access point?

Answer 1

getBSSID() of WifiInfo class will return MAC address of remote access point.

BSSID explained here.

Answer 2

The following method will return the MAC address of the access point, null if there is no network currently connected.

public String getMacId() {      WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);     WifiInfo wifiInfo = wifiManager.getConnectionInfo();     return wifiInfo.getBSSID(); }
