static val EXTRA_EASY_CONNECT_BAND_LIST: String

Activity Extra: The Band List that the Enrollee supports.

This extra contains the bands the Enrollee supports, expressed as the Global Operating Class, see Table E-4 in IEEE Std 802.11-2016 Global operating classes. It is used both as input, to configure the Easy Connect operation and as output of the operation.

As input: an optional extra to be attached to the ACTION_PROCESS_WIFI_EASY_CONNECT_URI. If attached, it indicates the bands which the remote device (enrollee, device-to-be-configured) supports. The Settings operation may take this into account when presenting the user with list of networks configurations to be used. The calling app may obtain this information in any out-of-band method. The information should be attached as an array of raw integers - using the Intent.putExtra(String, int[]).

As output: an extra returned on the result intent received when using the ACTION_PROCESS_WIFI_EASY_CONNECT_URI intent to launch the Easy Connect Operation . This value is populated only by remote R2 devices, and only for the following error codes: android.net.wifi.EasyConnectStatusCallback#EASY_CONNECT_EVENT_FAILURE_CANNOT_FIND_NETWORK, android.net.wifi.EasyConnectStatusCallback#EASY_CONNECT_EVENT_FAILURE_ENROLLEE_AUTHENTICATION, or android.net.wifi.EasyConnectStatusCallback#EASY_CONNECT_EVENT_FAILURE_ENROLLEE_REJECTED_CONFIGURATION. Therefore, always check if this extra is available using Intent.hasExtra(String). If there is no error, i.e. if the operation returns android.app.Activity#RESULT_OK , then this extra is not attached to the result intent.

Use the Intent.getIntArrayExtra(String) to obtain the list.

Value: "android.provider.extra.EASY_CONNECT_BAND_LIST"

EXTRA_EASY_CONNECT_CHANNEL_LIST

Added in API level 30
static val EXTRA_EASY_CONNECT_CHANNEL_LIST: String

Activity Extra: The Channel List that the Enrollee used to scan a network.

An extra returned on the result intent received when using the ACTION_PROCESS_WIFI_EASY_CONNECT_URI intent to launch the Easy Connect Operation. This extra contains the channel list that the Enrollee scanned for a network. This value is populated only by remote R2 devices, and only for the following error code: android.net.wifi.EasyConnectStatusCallback#EASY_CONNECT_EVENT_FAILURE_CANNOT_FIND_NETWORK. Therefore, always check if this extra is available using Intent.hasExtra(String). If there is no error, i.e. if the operation returns android.app.Activity#RESULT_OK, then this extra is not attached to the result intent. The list is JSON formatted, as an array (Wi-Fi global operating classes) of arrays (Wi-Fi channels).

Use the Intent.getStringExtra(String) to obtain the list.

Value: "android.provider.extra.EASY_CONNECT_CHANNEL_LIST"

EXTRA_EASY_CONNECT_ERROR_CODE

Added in API level 30
static val EXTRA_EASY_CONNECT_ERROR_CODE: String

Activity Extra: The Easy Connect operation error code

An extra returned on the result intent received when using the ACTION_PROCESS_WIFI_EASY_CONNECT_URI intent to launch the Easy Connect Operation. This extra contains the integer error code of the operation - one of android.net.wifi.EasyConnectStatusCallback EASY_CONNECT_EVENT_FAILURE_*. If there is no error, i.e. if the operation returns android.app.Activity#RESULT_OK, then this extra is not attached to the result intent.

Use the Intent.hasExtra(String) to determine whether the extra is attached and Intent.getIntExtra(String, int) to obtain the error code data.

Value: "android.provider.extra.EASY_CONNECT_ERROR_CODE"
