How to create access point programmatically

Question

I've written the code to create an access point for android devices. I've tested on both emulator and real device.But it doesn't work. Where did i get wrong?

public class MainWAP extends Activity {

    WifiManager wifiManager;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_wap);
    }

    public void openWifi(View v) {
        createWifiAccessPoint();
    }

    private void createWifiAccessPoint() {
        if (wifiManager.isWifiEnabled()) {
            wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(false);
        }
        Method[] wmMethods = wifiManager.getClass().getDeclaredMethods();
        boolean methodFound = false;
        for (Method method: wmMethods) {
            if (method.getName().equals("setWifiApEnabled")) {
                methodFound = true;
                WifiConfiguration netConfig = new WifiConfiguration();
                netConfig.SSID = "AccessPoint";
                netConfig.allowedAuthAlgorithms.set(
                    WifiConfiguration.AuthAlgorithm.OPEN);
                try {
                    boolean apstatus = (Boolean) method.invoke(
                        wifiManager, netConfig, true);
                    for (Method isWifiApEnabledmethod: wmMethods) {
                        if (isWifiApEnabledmethod.getName().equals(
                                "isWifiApEnabled")) {
                            while (!(Boolean) isWifiApEnabledmethod.invoke(
                                    wifiManager)) {};
                            for (Method method1: wmMethods) {
                                if (method1.getName().equals(
                                        "getWifiApState")) {
                                    int apstate;
                                    apstate = (Integer) method1.invoke(
                                        wifiManager);
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    if (apstatus) {
                        Log.d("Splash Activity",
                            "Access Point created");
                    } else {
                        Log.d("Splash Activity",
                            "Access Point creation failed");
                    }

                } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        }
        if (!methodFound) {
            Log.d("Splash Activity",
                "cannot configure an access point");
        }
    }
}

Your WiFiManager is definately not initialized.

In your onCreate method add this:

wifiManager = (WiFiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
