Android Question [B4XPages] Connect to WiFi from a Kiosk mode app

[Mike1970]

Hi everyone I’ve to build an app for tablets that must run in Kiosk mode.
Technical user must be able to change the WiFi network of the tablet.

what do you suggest to do?

• Do exists some intent-based approach to show ONLY the system wifi page and be able to only go back to my app once connected?
• Is it possibile a list of available networks and connect directly from the app?

I do not know what is tue best practice in this situations.


Thanks in advance

No.

Is it possibile a list of available networks and connect directly from the app?

There are several wifi libraries available. Whether it is possible or not depends on the Android version.

It will be much simpler to provide a "backdoor" that allows admins to unlock the app and go to the settings.

Actually I just found out from the client that it can be possibile that also a user must have the possibility to change the network, so I cannot provide a way to “unlock” the app.

the only way is to do it from the app i think
