Want to test the Java code in Tasker and was trying to execute the sample code in the Tasker website itself

1 Variable Set, %service, wifi

2 Java Function, wiman = CONTEXT.getSystemService( %service )

3 Java Function, %enabled = wiman.isWifiEnabled()

Step 1 & 2 is not a problem ,but on step 3 I don’t get the function isWifiEnabled for wiman ,but the default classes like clone, equals, finalize...

Any pointers?

Thankx in advance

2 Java Function, wiman = CONTEXT.getSystemService( %service )

Try: (WifiManager) wiman = CONTEXT.getSystemService( %service )

Thank you sir for the valuable comments.As per your suggestion the required flass functions are listing out.
Anycase ,at the end of the day ,the program is not working.
Just wondering any specific things to be loaded in Tasker before this programming or any fundamental things I am missing?
Regards,

Do you mean the java function doesn't return the wifi state or that something else in your task/profile is not working?

It would be helpful for you to provide more info.
You can do this by long pressing on the profile/task then go to Menu/Export/Description to clipboard - and then paste the info here.
You may need to disable Beginner Mode before you can do that. Go to Menu/Preferences/UI

Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa !!....
Sir,I was my mistake where I was giving a wrong parameter in the first statement- Thank again for patiently guiding me on this.
Anycase your typecasting statement was instrumental(WifiManager) and not sure how it got missed in the example or was it working for other with out this typecasting .?

I don't know the answer to this I'm afraid. Someone with more Java knowledge might be able to provide more info!

The return type of "Context.GetSystemService(string)" is "object", so you cannot use "wiman.isWifiEnabled()" without typecasting...
