Hi all, I've come to the assumption that I wont be able to get wifi working within the emulator, so I'm trying to come up with some dummy data to "pretend" that its come from the wpa_supplicant. With this in mind, I'm trying to spoof some ScanResult structures, as returned by the WifiManager.getScanResult(). However, it would seem like this API is still in a state of flux - for example ScanResult.capabilities is documented as returning a String, but with a TODO note saying that it should be parsed into a WifiConfiguration object. Does this mean that the API will change so that it returns the WifiConfiguration object, or is it expected of the user to parse the string? Would any body be able to clarify the situation with regards to how I should be able to detect the parameters of a wifi network? If somebody has access to a real device, could they please send me some example strings as returned by ScanResult.capabilities? In particular, what would a free/open-access wifi network capabilities string look like? I'd really appreciate the help/guidance that any one has to offer.
