How can I Control WiFi Connection in App Inventor?

[Tony Contrada]

I want to create an app that can search for a WiFi AP which has a hidden SSID and then connect to it automatically.

Seems simple enough, but I could not find a WiFi widget in the connectivity tools.

Any way to do this?

Thanks,

Tony

App Inventor 2 has no Control to set up a WIFI connection using Blocks.

You might be able to use an intent.  The following haystack shows how an intent might be used using a Java compiler like Android Studio:https://www.google.com/search?q=Android+intent+connect+to+wifi&oq=Android+intent+connect+to+wifi&aqs=chrome..69i57.13263j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8  

Intents in App Inventor 2 sometimes can be implemented using the ActivityStarter.
