Programatically add a wifi network on the BlackBerry

Question

Hi, As opposed to manually setting up a Wifi network(scanning>adding>set encryption settings, etc) I'm trying to create an app that once the user enters his login credentials will automatically add the wifi network complete with the necessary network settings.

Maybe i've been searching using the wrong keywords but I havent stumbled upon anything about this.

I'm wondering which class(es) I should be looking at. Is this even allowed by the API?

Answer 1

Take a look at HotspotClient and HotspotClientRegistry.

Hi Ridz,

I am also looking for scanning of wifi networks from an application but not succeeded and came across related post on blackberry forum. which tell about available net.rim.device.api.wlan.hotspot package of OS v5.0 to use but non of the post had given any more details on it. i stuck and not getting how to proceed by using above package.

I posted my query at blackberry forum and here but not yet answered: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2992052/how-to-scan-for-available-networks-for-blackberry-device-from-application

I hope u might have implemented with this type of feature or have some idea related this. So please help with this issue and if possible share some snippet.

Thanks,

This is not possible as RIM have confirmed that it is a protected function call.
