Is it possible to support WifiManager.NETWORK_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION? about accesspoint HOT 6 CLOSED

You mean when someone connects or disconnects from our AP?

from accesspoint.

Nah, this is for when the device with the AP running either enables or disables the AP. I misspoke in the original description by referring to it as "connects/disconnects". Sorry for the confusion.

I am guessing you also want to be notified whenever the AP is enabled or disabled by the user, not only the library.

I can't find any callback system in Android to do such a thing. So we have two options:

• Expect the app to call isEnabled() on an async thread repeatedly (e.g. every second)
• We call isEnabled() on an async thread repeatedly (e.g. every second) and add a watcher/callback API to the library

I'm guessing the second is the best option. After all, this library is already hacky enough, with the reflection and all. Adding a callback system that internally polls should be fine, if we let the app define how often to poll (with a default to e.g. 1s) and as long as we don't do the polling work if no watchers are registered.

Isn't this what you are looking for?

android.net.conn.TETHER_STATE_CHANGED

from accesspoint.

@luispereira maybe - the docs say:

     * Broadcast Action: A tetherable connection has come or gone.
     * Uses {@code ConnectivityManager.EXTRA_AVAILABLE_TETHER},
     * {@code ConnectivityManager.EXTRA_ACTIVE_TETHER} and
     * {@code ConnectivityManager.EXTRA_ERRORED_TETHER} to indicate
     * the current state of tethering.  Each include a list of
     * interface names in that state (may be empty).

I don't have time to work on this at the moment, but will review a patch.

Since there seems to be little interest to write this, I'm going to close this issue for now as I don't intend to work on it myself. Feel free to reopen or comment if you'd like to work on it.
