It doesn't look like a public API. Where did you find it?

from here https://android.googlesource.com/pl...va/com/android/server/wifi/WifiVendorHal.java

my problem is the following, in previous versions of Android 8.0
I could use via root command the following "ndc softap" commands
including "ndc softap fwreload AP"

with Android 8.0 it has been removed
and I need to do this as I believe API

do you have any idea ?

Thanks very mutch!

This is not a public API so it is difficult to say whether it is possible to call it or not. You need to get a reference to the correct WifiVendorHal instance.

I asked for help for this because I need to update my app

if this is not possible
is there a way to reload the WiFi firmware? I previously did this with the root command "ndc softap fwreload AP"

unfortunately in Android 8 softap seems to have disappeared

Thanks again

is there a way to reload the WiFi firmware?

Probably no. If you find Java code that does it then we can help you port it.

I found this

https://android.googlesource.com/pl...va/com/android/server/wifi/SoftApManager.java
and
https://android.googlesource.com/pl...roid/server/wifi/SoftApModeConfiguration.java

placed here https://android.googlesource.com/pl....0.0_r4/service/java/com/android/server/wifi/

I do not know if these can be useful

I'm afraid no. These classes are not part of Android public API.
