abstract member EnableNetwork : int * bool -> bool
override this.EnableNetwork : int * bool -> bool
Parameters
- netId
- Int32
the ID of the network as returned by #addNetwork

.
- attemptConnect
- Boolean
The way to select a particular network to connect to is specify
true
for this parameter.
Returns

Remarks
Allow a previously configured network to be associated with. If attemptConnect
is true, an attempt to connect to the selected network is initiated. This may result in the asynchronous delivery of state change events.
<b>Note:</b> Network communication may not use Wi-Fi even if Wi-Fi is connected; traffic may instead be sent through another network, such as cellular data, Bluetooth tethering, or Ethernet. For example, traffic will never use a Wi-Fi network that does not provide Internet access (e.g. a wireless printer), if another network that does offer Internet access (e.g. cellular data) is available. Applications that need to ensure that their network traffic uses Wi-Fi should use APIs such as Network#bindSocket(java.net.Socket)
, Network#openConnection(java.net.URL)
, or ConnectivityManager#bindProcessToNetwork
to do so.
Applications are not allowed to enable networks created by other applications.
This member is deprecated. a) See WifiNetworkSpecifier.Builder#build()
for new mechanism to trigger connection to a Wi-Fi network. b) See #addNetworkSuggestions(List)
, #removeNetworkSuggestions(List)
for new API to add Wi-Fi networks for consideration when auto-connecting to wifi. <b>Compatibility Note:</b> For applications targeting android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#Q
or above, this API will always fail and return false
. Deprecation Exemptions: <ul> <li>Device Owner (DO), Profile Owner (PO) and system apps. </ul>
