I found that some of the plugin methods not working under android ver 6.x with the latest cordova version like 5.1.1 At the moment I use cordova 4.1.1 because that reason.

please check if you have the right permissions: https://github.com/hypery2k/cordova-hotspot-plugin/wiki/Android-Configuration

Thanks for your answer. This is my code ,and I try it again after adding the permission , but it still not working (android 5.0). I try it on another phone(android 4.3), and it work;

public class WifiAp { private Context context; private WifiManager wifiManager; private String wifiSSID = "windy"; private Method method; private WifiConfiguration config; public WifiAp(Context context) { this.context = context; wifiManager = (WifiManager)context.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE); } public void openWifiAp() { if(wifiManager.isWifiEnabled()) wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(false); config = new WifiConfiguration(); config.SSID = wifiSSID; try { method = wifiManager.getClass().getMethod("setWifiApEnabled", WifiConfiguration.class,Boolean.TYPE); } catch (NoSuchMethodException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block Log.d("TAG", e.toString()); e.printStackTrace(); } Log.d("TAG", "Now"); try { method.invoke(wifiManager, config,true); } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block Log.d("TAG", e.toString()); e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IllegalAccessException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block Log.d("TAG", e.toString()); e.printStackTrace(); } catch (InvocationTargetException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block Log.d("TAG", e.toString()); e.printStackTrace(); } }

public void closeWifiAp() { try { method = wifiManager.getClass().getMethod("isWifiApEnabled"); Boolean enable = (Boolean) method.invoke(wifiManager); if(enable) { method =wifiManager.getClass().getMethod("setWifiApEnabled",WifiConfiguration.class,Boolean.TYPE); method.invoke(wifiManager, config,false); }

} catch(NoSuchMethodException e) {

} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block Log.d("TAG", e.toString()); e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IllegalAccessException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block Log.d("TAG", e.toString()); e.printStackTrace(); } catch (InvocationTargetException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block Log.d("TAG", e.toString()); e.printStackTrace(); }

}

why did you use Java? this plugin is for cordova hybrid apps? You're above error indicate permission errors and then you have to allow this in your cordova app. The permission model has changed on Android 5. I tested the plugin with Android 4 and Android 5 and it's working, so it's a configuration issue.

[Joefi]

sorry, I dont't understand your mean, I am just doing an Android application about turning on wifi hotspot, not cordova hybrid app.

Hey I checked the manifest file permissions are ok.It works on kitkat and Lolipop but not on marshmallow.So is there any specific code change that we need to do at plugin level?

[hypery2k]

If you don't use it as a Cordova plugin I'm not sure how you invoke my plugin and that's why I cannot help you with that

It's a Cordova plugin. If you don't use it as one...
