android 2.3 wifi （二）

 

7.       Ad hoc的支持

添加ad hoc的支持有两种方式，改wpa_supplicant和改Android Framework。 改wpa_supplicant的原理和方法请参考http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-ad-hoc-wireless-network-support/， 这种方法不推荐， 不是解决问题的根本。下面是改Android Framework的方法。

在Android Framework中添加adhoc支持很简单， 可能只需要改一行代码(当然还没经过测试)， 如下：

List<ScanResult> results = mWifiManager.getScanResults();         if (results != null) {             for (ScanResult result : results) {                 // Ignore hidden and ad-hoc networks.                 if (result.SSID == null || result.SSID.length() == 0 ||                         result.capabilities.contains("[IBSS]")) {                     continue;                 }                   boolean found = false;                 for (AccessPoint accessPoint : accessPoints) {                     if (accessPoint.update(result)) {                         found = true;                     }                 }                 if (!found) {                     accessPoints.add(new AccessPoint(this, result));                 }             }         }

上面一段代码在Settings应用的WifiSettings类里，发生在wpa_supplicant扫描ap结束时，将||result.capabilities.contains("[IBSS]")去掉即可支持adhoc。

可见google是故意禁了ad hoc的功能。 那么总有原因， 下面摘自某论坛：

What you say is true - it is relatively easy to support ad-hoc networks. I also appreciate that it sucks if you have to rely on ad-hoc wifi and you own an Android device.
However, there are good reasons as to why Android, or any OS for that matter, doesn't support it.

Ad-hoc networks are i
