About this app
The widget is designed to enable/disable Wi-Fi adapter and display the state of the current connection.
Data updated as changes in the state of the Wi-Fi adapter.
When you click on the indicator "Network availability" (launching widget configuration activity) displays the current connection state and obtained parameters (scan results, DHCP-assigned addresses from the last successful DHCP request). The receiver of the widget can be pushed out of memory for some time, the last received data is displayed.
Implemented:
• displays the state of "network availability";
• indicator of the cellular data network connection;
• option turn off the Wi-Fi adapter when device reboot;
• option enter a password to connect to a secured Wi-Fi network;
• ability to quickly switch between the previously configured Wi-Fi networks;
• ability to remove a network from the list of saved networks;
• start scan for access points;
• ability to change the border color of the widget (for Android 2.2 and above);
• ability to change the horizontal and vertical size (for Android 3.1 and above);
• ability to change the widget text size (for Android 4.1 and above, button "More...");
• choise of the type of sorting the list of networks (button "More...").
Permission "Location" (network-based) is used to obtain the results of scanning available networks (for Android 6.0 and above). You must enable location on the device.
Cyclic Update Mode (sync with timer) is intended for the adapter's testing and operates prior to version Android 4.4.2. This mode is not recommended for prolonged use the widget.

Excellent widget, could use a better look. It's exactly what i was looking for minus the color scheme. I was using an essentially identical widget that wasn't updated any more so it doesn't display the Wi-Fi ssid. This does exactly what I want but the color scheme is too flashy for my taste. Please give us the option to select different colors or just make a toned down (e.g.black and white) version.

on one phone using andriod 9, it wont show the connected ssid and it shows as "hidden". why? on another phone it shows ssid ok and it is on Android 8. when i click network available, it shows me a long list of saved ssid instead of the active ones that i can connect to. the sorted network list by signal strength does not work. make it hard to switch to any other active ssid. everything else are good. thanks.

still needs work: yes it works, but it doesn't refresh the ip in the widget by itself. only connection-speed is refreshed. so, when you are connected with wifi it shows an ip. when you then disconnect or get in range of another wifi access point and connect with that, the widget still shows your old ip. you have to bring up the wifi list to refresh the widget. EDIT: thx for the reply, but i already excluded the widget from all power saving policies. hope you can fix this. the widget is beautiful.

For Android 9 this is normal behavior, since the permanent services may be blocked (depending on the current system state). The widget will not be updated in the power saving mode.

Important: This version is only for devices running Android 9 and below!
Added indicator of the cellular data network connection, the ability to resize the widget's text, the choice of sorting the list of networks. Widget ready for Android 9, full functionality is not guaranteed for later versions!.
