Android Question MLScan listSavedNetworks problem <SOLVED>

[SimonInCanada]

Hi

I am trying to run this code snippet to get a list of saved wifis:

Sub Activity_Resume
Log("Activity_Resume called")
Dim myAPlist As List
myAPlist.Initialize
myAPlist = myScan.listSavedNetworks
Log(myAPlist)
End Sub

but I am getting the error

Process_Globals called
*** Service (starter) Create ***
** Service (starter) Start **
Globals called
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
Activity_Create completed
** Activity (main) Resume **

I ran a very similar code snippet yesterday and it worked, but I modified it and started getting this error so I extracted these lines to make things simpler.

Thanks

Please, use CODE tag when you post a code.
Have you Wifi enabled? You're getting a null object from this line

myAPlist = myScan.listSavedNetworks

As i remember this happens when you have not wifi enabled

Thanks

Sorry about the code tag.

So add a try catch and toastmessage the user they need to turn on wifi in the catch

Thanks.

It does seem a little odd to have to have to have the actual Wifi radio enabled to manage a memory resource. I want to give my users tha ability to see and eliminate entries which the phone might otherwise log on to (i.e. the phone is used on ships which often have open wifis and I want the users to be able to see and cleanse any instances where the user has logged in to these as apposed to our wifis located at the berths).
