[Android ICS] Change wifi network proxy programmatically

[Francesco Pace]

Hi, I'm working on Android 4.0.3 and I would to set proxy address and proxy port for a wireless network using Android SDK.

In the previous versions (2.3.3 for example) I'm able to set using Settings.System string.

With ICS I've seen that now Proxy Address and Proxy Port is specific for any Wireless network.

How can I do it?

Thanks.

It is not supported through the SDK.

Thanks

Ok, thanks.
But there are some workaround for example private api to perform this operation?

If you have root access, you can set environment variable using command line.

A little modification that makes it corrent.

        WifiManager manager = (WifiManager)getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
        manager.asyncConnect(this, new Handler());
        if (!manager.isWifiEnabled()) return;
        List<WifiConfiguration> configurationList = manager.getConfiguredNetworks();
        WifiConfiguration configuration = null;
        int cur = manager.getConnectionInfo().getNetworkId();
        for (int i = 0; i < configurationList.size(); ++i)
        {
            WifiConfiguration wifiConfiguration = configurationList.get(i);
            if (wifiConfiguration.networkId == cur)
            configuration = wifiConfiguration;
        }
        if (configuration == null) return;
        WifiConfiguration config = new WifiConfiguration(configuration);
        config.ipAssignment = WifiConfiguration.IpAssignment.UNASSIGNED;
        config.proxySettings = WifiConfiguration.ProxySettings.STATIC;
        config.linkProperties.clear();
        config.linkProperties.setHttpProxy(new ProxyProperties("127.0.0.1", 3128, ""));
        manager.saveNetwork(config);

To change Wi-Fi proxy settings on ICS, you need access to private APIs.
The following code works on my CM9 device.

        WifiManager manager = (WifiManager)getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
        if (!manager.isWifiEnabled()) return;
        List<WifiConfiguration> configurationList = manager.getConfiguredNetworks();
        WifiConfiguration configuration = null;
        int cur = manager.getConnectionInfo().getNetworkId();
        for (int i = 0; i < configurationList.size(); ++i)
        {
            WifiConfiguration wifiConfiguration = configurationList.get(i);
            if (wifiConfiguration.networkId == cur)
                configuration = wifiConfiguration;
        }
        if (configuration == null) return;
        WifiConfiguration config = new WifiConfiguration(configuration);
        config.ipAssignment = WifiConfiguration.IpAssignment.UNASSIGNED;
        config.proxySettings = WifiConfiguration.ProxySettings.STATIC;
        config.linkProperties.setHttpProxy(new ProxyProperties("127.0.0.1", 3128, ""));
        manager.updateNetwork(config);
        manager.saveConfiguration();

You need access to private APIs.

Check the following link if you don't know how to use Android private APIs.

Hi I am trying to add the above code to programatically set the proxy setting for a particular wifi config, but I am running into problem where in Eclipse shows errors for the code >> WifiConfiguration.IpAssignment.UNASSIGNED <<

any ideas on how to get this working?

please check attached screenshot.
