Broken on 6.0+ about accesspoint HOT 13 CLOSED

Did you try running the example application?

On my Nexus 6 running 6.0, I also get that logcat line, but since my wireless device is indeed wlan0, it does work.

from accesspoint.

There is now a better warning message for 6.0+, but wlan0 should work for you and hence the example application should be able to enable/disable the AP.

If not, adb shell into your device and do ip link. You should see the interface name there.

Huh, it doesn't actually work for me:

01-21 20:37:24.840 10482 10482 E WifiApControl: Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: cc.mvdan.accesspoint.example was not granted  this permission: android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS.

from accesspoint.

Okay, I need to grab this new permission and do the runtime request that 6.0 added. Might take some time to get it fully working.

from accesspoint.

Let me know if you need anything else on my end.

I can confirm that it doesn't work on my Nexus 7 2013 on android 6.0.1 too. It doesn't even enable access point. Do you have any idea how to make it work ?

Seems like he's working on it as of 3 days ago. It's the weekend, cut him some slack.

from accesspoint.

Sure, I know. I meant if there is anything I can do to help ?

from accesspoint.

Well, you can try to get it working and open a PR. I just moved and will be busy for the rest of the coming week, so won't have time for this at least until next weekend.

from accesspoint.

Okay, so I lied. It mostly works for me, but sometimes it takes a few tries for WRITE_SETTINGS to be granted. I'm on a cm13 nightly, so perhaps it's just me.

In any case, that's just the quickly put together example code. The library code is pretty much done and trivial. Test away!

from accesspoint.

Remember to let me know whether current master works for you or not. AFAIK the library code is fine, so unless proven otherwise I'll assume it's ready and tag a release.

from accesspoint.

Confirmed working across multiple 6.0+ devices when we request the WRITE_SETTINGS permission. No change to the function of older devices. Release away sir.

from accesspoint.

Done.
