termux-wifi-connectioninfo

[Mike6742]

Problem description When doing termux-wifi-connectioninfo in an established wifi-connection i get wrong information. Wrong infos: bssid, mac_address, ssid, ssid_hidden bssid and mac_adress are both set to 02:00:00:00:00:00; that's wrong. ssid: "<unknown ssid>" ssid_hidden:true; that's wrong

Steps to reproduce Do termux-wifi-enable true and wait some seconds or enable it using a android app Do termux-wifi-connectioninfo

Expected behavior I would expect to get correct info about ssid, ssid_hidden, bssid and mac_address

@Mike6742 - in my case, getting this to work required the following to be true on my phone:

• Termux:API application installed
• Termux:API application granted access to Location permission
• Location enabled

@MrFishFinger i have Termux:API installed, location enabled and access to location granted, but still getting exactly the same incomplete/incorrect results for termux-wifi-connectioninfo as reported by @Mike6742

it would be helpful to include the current state of wifi also, eg toggled on / off as this info is inaccessible without root inside termux. can currently only see if wifi is connected or not. not the android state - if wifi is toggled on or off.

Hi,

I got the same issue. After some time, I saw the location was granted "only in foreground processes", switch it to "always" fixed the problem for me.
