Android get Wifi Router Name


If you ever wonder how to get the WiFi Router name your Android device is connected to, this is what you are required:

WifiManager wifiMgr = (WifiManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
WifiInfo wifiInfo = wifiMgr.getConnectionInfo
();
String name = wifiInfo.getSSID
();

Also add the following permissions to your manifest:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />

Have fun.
