Display Vendor Specific Information Elements as possible since API Level 30 #367

Open codingcatgirl opened 2 years ago

codingcatgirl commented 2 years ago

It would be nice if the App displayed the vendor specific IEEE 802.11 information elements that were found in the WiFi Beacons. Android's API Level 30 introduced [ScanResult.getInformationElements()](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/ScanResult#getInformationElements()), which can be used to query this information.

Please use provided feature report template, do not forget to fill all required information in the template. The information provided in the template helps to resolve issues faster.

All current contributors are busy with other work. When we don't have an opportunity or time to implement a feature, we encourage developers to fork the project and become a contributor. It would be great to add new contributors to this project.

I have looked at the issue template. There is no required information in the template that makes sense to answer for this kind of feature request: It asks whether the feature request is related to a problem (it's not), what solution i'd like (i have described it), alternatives i've considered (there are none), how i can help (i probably can't), additional context (there is none), and Device/Android information (irrelevant for a feature request). That's why i didn't use the template.

Thanks for the encouragement to submit a pull request. Maybe i will, though probably not soon.

I think it is related to https://github.com/VREMSoftwareDevelopment/WiFiAnalyzer/issues/365

@olekstomek nah, vendor specific information is something completely different :)
