Stuck on "Connecting to WiFi" screen while provisioning Android Lollipop device

Question

I am trying to auto connect with WiFi when provisioning Android Lollipop device using below NFC tags:

p.setProperty(DevicePolicyManager.EXTRA_PROVISIONING_WIFI_SSID, "-----");
p.setProperty(DevicePolicyManager.EXTRA_PROVISIONING_WIFI_PASSWORD, "----");

It seems it is getting connected with WiFi but stuck on Connecting to Wi-fi... Screen and it is not finishing with provisioning process.

Can anybody guide me to resolve this issue?

Answer 1

You need to surround SSID with double quotes : p.setProperty(DevicePolicyManager.EXTRA_PROVISIONING_WIFI_SSID, "\"my SSI\"");

Answer 2

To make it work I had to set the also the flag android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_WIFI_SECURITY_TYPE.

Specify only the two EXTRA for SSID and PASSWORD as stated in the docs isn't enough. Probably the default security type remains NONE.
