Hi Megha Joshi,
In the 1.0 SDK, WifiManager.getScanResults() returns a list of
ScanResult objects, each of which contains a capabilities String.
Please could you provide an example of what form this string might be?
I'm trying to get an understanding of how I might have to parse this
information in order to construct my own class to represent the
authentication, key management, and encryption schemes of wifi
networks.
Many thanks in advance
