Usage

Build the app, either by importing the project into Android Studio or by using the following command (make sure you have set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable if you choose the latter):

./gradlew assembleDebug

install the app:

adb install app/build/outputs/apk/app-debug.apk

Use the Activity Manager (am) to start the application with the appropriate parameters:

adb shell am start -n com.steinwurf.adbjoinwifi/com.steinwurf.adbjoinwifi.MainActivity -e ssid [SSID] -e password_type [PASSWORD_TYPE] -e password [WIFI PASSWORD]

If you want to join an access point without a password you shouldn't specify the password or password type. If you need to join an access point with a password you need to specify both. The password type should be either:

• WPA, or
• WEP
