Connect on Android Q

[eliaslecomte]

Description

On Android Q/10 (sdk 29) it is no longer possible to connect to a wifi network via WifiManager.enableNetwork(WifiConfiguration). I've implemented the required changes.

Related issues:

• Unable to connect to Wifi on Android 10 #45
• Android 10 Connection Status #43
• Is it possible to add and connect a Wifi network when targeting Android Q?  #31
• not working in android P #36

Solution

As you can see in the PR, I create a WifiNetworkSpecifier. With that, I do ConnectivityManager.requestNetwork(NetworkRequest).
Once the network is available, i bind it so the complete app can execute api calls over the wifi network.

Currently only tested with a wpa2 network. Other apps or the OS can't use this network. When your app is stopped, the network connection is stopped. This is completely my case (connect to an IoT AP, perform setup). I am not sure how others use this library?

Thanks for the response! I understand, we all work 💰.
This isn't finished, but I hope to get good feedback from you :-).

Thanks again for your work. This looks quite alright for now. I can't really test it thoroughly as I do not possess an android 10 device yet but I will proceed on a merge anyway as some people are in a hurry to use this therefore they can be our testers for now.
