is there a possibility to get on an IPhone the connected WIFI SSID with Monotouch?
I have found a possibility to check the Wi-Fi States but there is no way to check the SSID.
https://github.com/xamarin/monotouch-samples/blob/master/ReachabilitySample/reachability.cs
So did anyone know a way?
Thanks for all Comments
You can do this like the sample code that @Jason linked to. But right now there are no bindings for CaptiveNetwork in the current versions of MonoTouch (but it will be included in a future beta release).
In the meantime you can copy-paste the following code inside your application to get the SSID.
using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using MonoTouch;
using MonoTouch.CoreFoundation;
using MonoTouch.Foundation;
using MonoTouch.ObjCRuntime;
[DllImport (Constants.SystemConfigurationLibrary)]
extern static IntPtr CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo (IntPtr interfaceName);
static string GetSSID ()
{
IntPtr scl = Dlfcn.dlopen (Constants.SystemConfigurationLibrary, 0);
try {
using (NSString en0 = new NSString ("en0")) {
using (NSDictionary dict = new NSDictionary (CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo (en0.Handle))) {
using (NSString key = Dlfcn.GetStringConstant (scl, "kCNNetworkInfoKeySSID")) {
return dict [key].ToString ();
}
}
}
}
catch (EntryPointNotFoundException) {
// this is not available when running on the simulator
return String.Empty;
}
finally {
Dlfcn.dlclose (scl);
}
}
UPDATE: The latest MonoTouch 5.2+ releases includes support for CaptiveNetwork
. The above code is simplified to:
using MonoTouch.SystemConfiguration;
static string GetSSID ()
{
var dict = CaptiveNetwork.CopyCurrentNetworkInfo ("en0");
return dict [CaptiveNetwork.NetworkInfoKeySSID].ToString ();
}
