Hi all,

I tried the solution described in the documentation to set the default WiFi AP.

I used the following code:

apid = socket.select_access_point()
apo = socket.access_point(apid)
socket.set_default_access_point(apo)
apo.start()
self.phoneIp = apo.ip()


This triggers a window "Default access point" with a list of the available APs. Then a confirmation window about the fact that I am creating a default AP in offline mode (I am not using a SIM at the moment) is displayed.

But then when I called the socket constructor, a new window for the selection of the AP is again displayed, this time the standard one with the title "Search access point" (no confirmation is needed about the "offline status").

The code for retrieving the access point is in the constructor of the object. The object starts a thread where the socket is created. If I put the code in the thread, the phone simply freezes.

What is the best way of setting the standard WiFi AP?

Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks,
Mirco

I decided to use my own access point dialog, even loosing the "WiFi Search" feature. Then, I set the default access point and no questions are done anymore.

from socket import select_access_point, access_point, access_points, set_default_access_point
from appuifw import *

def sel_access_point():
    """ Select the default access point. Return True if the selection was
        done or False if not
    """
    aps = access_points()
    if not aps:
        note(u"Could't find any access point.","error")
        return False
    
    ap_labels = map( lambda x: x['name'], aps )
    item = popup_menu( ap_labels, u"Access points:" )
    if item is None:
        note(u"At least one access point is required.","error")
        return False
    
    apo = access_point( aps[item]['iapid'] )
    set_default_access_point( apo )
    
    return True
