For a android system, do anyone know or has anyone tried to use getScanResult() to get multiple BSSIDs for 1 network name(SSID)?

Question

If I use getScanResult() I will be able to get the information about different networks but for example if I am in a school where all access points are under network(SSID) "The school". Will getScanResult() filter out other access points than the one it's closest to and only return 1 BSSID for that network?

Answer 1

You should get all BSSID entries that are in radio range, even if they are the same ESSID. The WiFi driver could hide this from you; but I haven't seen that happen with default settings.
