Documentation

Combine with other plugins to access features cross-platform

This plugin is intentionally supporting only Android. However, this doesn't mean you cannot use this plugin to create your own cross-platform utility module for fetching the details you need for your app.

For example, if you want to fetch the current WiFi's BSSID, you can combine it with ios_network_info package:

import 'dart:io';

import 'package:android_wifi_info/android_wifi_info.dart';
import 'package:ios_network_info/ios_network_info.dart';

get bssid {
  if (Platform.isAndroid) {
    return AndroidWifiInfo.bssid;
  } else if (Platform.isIOS) {
    return IosNetworkInfo.bssid;
  }
  throw Exception('WiFi BSSID is not supported on this platform');
}

To do

This plugin is very much in progress.

There are some important tasks I'm still planning to do for the 1.x version release.

• handle enums properly
• related code, eg converting RSSI to something useful (scale)
• don't forget to point users to how to convert int values to more traditional representations (ip)
• Android Q? tx, rx link speed
• could add links to the right sections in android docs
• consider adding code snippets to the documentation
• example app docs contains links and on tap could open the links in browser... but it's a bit of an overkill for an example app
• make mac address work with proper permissions or at least document it
