Quick WiFi Switcher
Quick WiFi Switcher is an app to quickly switch between your (configured) APs. This is useful, when you're in an area where more than one configured AP is available. Sometimes Android decides to switch between them for different (unknown to me) reasons. Reconnection to the AP of your choice is now fewer clicks away than through the settings. You start it by long-pressing your search button, or via shortcut. Info shown on top:Current SSID
Current IP
Current Signal (bar and RSSI)
In the selection list you have the following info:
SSID
Signal strength (Icon and RSSI)
Encryption settings
Configuration state (Green -> configured, Red -> unconfigured)
Connection state (connected AP is selected in the list)
The list contains all discoverable APs in range.
The following functions are implemented to date:
Enable/Disable WiFI
Scan for surrounding APs (automatically on startup / manually via button)
Connect to previously configured AP
Reconnect current AP
Open WiFi Settings for unconfigured APs (for now)
User Setting for closing on selection
Widgets
There are two widgets implemented for now:
Info Widget (1x2)
Switcher Widget (1x1)
The Info Widget shows information about the currently connected network:
SSID
IP-Address
signal level (RSSI and Icon)
For the Switcher Widget you have to choose a configured network. This will be monitored. Whenever the system scans for APs, the widget will update itself with the current info about the chosen network.
A network in range has a signal level icon
If the network is the current one, the text will be gray, else red
Touching the widget will automatically connect to the chosen AP
