WifiUtils.withContext(context).connectWith(networkSSID, networkPass) in background service/thread

[arslanyasin]

Hello, I am facing a small issue with WifiUtils in background service. I want to connect with wifi when my app is running in background but enable to connect. My background service is running and trying to connect with wifi but not getting any response in onConnectionResult..

Hi

I haven't tested the library in a background service so I can't think of what could be wrong. Maybe it is the background service limitations of Android itself. I will have a look as soon as I find some time.

Hi, I found the problem, if GPS is on, the result comes. If GPS is off, there is no result. Why was the GPS condition added?

My guess is: the lib always perform a scan before connecting to a network, and scan needs location permission, therefore I imagine that android indeed uses the user location for that purpose, but if the gps is disable, it may not be able to perform the scan
