Sync Wi-Fi settings

Open PureTryOut opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Today I found out my watch supports connecting to Wi-Fi. I can do this via the command-line, but I was thinking it would be great if it could sync the settings from the phone that's already connected to a local network. This probably shouldn't happen automatically but have the user choose if the watch should connect or not.

That's a good idea. We can get the SSID list and let the user enter the password on the phone.

Yup! I don't know if it's possible but it would be nice if it could take a stored password as well so you don't get prompted when you have already connected to the network with your phone.

There is a system API for that and wpa supplicant conf files, but using/reading them is only possible as a privledged application. That said we could offer that on rooted devices as an alternative.

Ah ok too bad. Well in that case asking to enter the password on the phone is fine too. And yes if rooted would be nice.
