Android library listening available WiFi Access Points and related information with RxJava Observables.
Its functionality was extracted from ReactiveNetwork project to make it more specialized and reduce number of required permissions.
If you are searching library for observing network or Internet connectivity check ReactiveNetwork project.
Library is compatible with RxJava 1.+ and RxAndroid 1.+ and uses them under the hood.
JavaDoc is available at: http://pwittchen.github.io/ReactiveWiFi/
Library has the following RxJava Observables available in the public API:
Observable<List<ScanResult>> observeWifiAccessPoints(final Context context)
Observable<Integer> observeWifiSignalLevel(final Context context, final int numLevels)
Observable<WifiSignalLevel> observeWifiSignalLevel(final Context context)
Observable<SupplicantState> observeSupplicantState(final Context context)
Observable<WifiInfo> observeWifiAccessPointChanges(final Context context)
Please note: If you want to observe WiFi access points on Android M (6.0) or higher, you need to request runtime permission for ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
. After that, location services have to be enabled. See sample app in app
directory to check how it's done.
We can observe WiFi Access Points with observeWifiAccessPoints(context)
method. Subscriber will be called everytime, when strength of the WiFi Access Points signal changes (it usually happens when user is moving around with a mobile device). We can do it in the following way:
new ReactiveWifi().observeWifiAccessPoints(context)
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
... // anything else what you can do with RxJava
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe(new Action1<List<ScanResult>>() {
@Override public void call(List<ScanResult> scanResults) {
// do something with scanResults
}
});
Hint: If you want to operate on a single ScanResult
instead of List<ScanResult>
in a subscribe(...)
method, consider using flatMap(...)
and Observable.from(...)
operators from RxJava for transforming the stream.
We can observe WiFi signal level with observeWifiSignalLevel(context, numLevels)
method. Subscriber will be called everytime, when signal level of the connected WiFi changes (it usually happens when user is moving around with a mobile device). We can do it in the following way:
new ReactiveWifi().observeWifiSignalLevel(context, numLevels)
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
... // anything else what you can do with RxJava
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe(new Action1<Integer>() {
@Override public void call(Integer level) {
// do something with level
}
});
We can also observe WiFi signal level with observeWifiSignalLevel(final Context context)
method, which has predefined num levels value, which is equal to 4 and returns Observable<WifiSignalLevel>
. WifiSignalLevel
is an enum, which contains information about current signal level. We can do it as follows:
new ReactiveWifi().observeWifiSignalLevel(context)
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
... // anything else what you can do with RxJava
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe(new Action1<WifiSignalLevel>() {
@Override public void call(WifiSignalLevel signalLevel) {
// do something with signalLevel
}
});
WifiSignalLevel
has the following values:
public enum WifiSignalLevel {
NO_SIGNAL(0, "no signal"),
POOR(1, "poor"),
FAIR(2, "fair"),
GOOD(3, "good"),
EXCELLENT(4, "excellent");
...
}
We can observe WiFi network information changes with observeWifiAccessPointChanges(context)
method. Subscriber will be called every time the WiFi network the device is connected to has changed. We can do it in the following way:
new ReactiveWifi().observeWifiAccessPointChanges(context)
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
... // anything else what you can do with RxJava
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe(new Action1<WifiInfo>() {
@Override public void call(WifiInfo wifiInfo) {
// do something with wifiInfo
}
});
We can observe changes in the WPA Supplicant state with observeSupplicantState(context)
method. Subscriber will be called every time the WPA Supplicant will change its state, getting information at a lower level than usually available. We can do it in the following way:
new ReactiveWifi().observeSupplicantState(context)
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
... // anything else what you can do with RxJava
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe(new Action1<SupplicantState>() {
@Override public void call(SuppicantState state) {
// do something with state
}
});
