Add isHiddenSSID config for connecting Android devices to hidden networks #42

Closed jack828 closed 6 years ago

jack828 commented 6 years ago

Description of the Change

Due to the inner workings of Android's wifi manager, if the network is hidden, an SSID-based probe request will be used - but there was no way to enable this option.

See https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/WifiConfiguration.html#hiddenSSID

Alternate Designs

Could not see any other logical methods to implement this.

Why Should This Be In Core?

It allows Android to connect to hidden SSID's - iOS has no problem doing so, but Android does.

Benefits

:point_up:

Possible Drawbacks

None, if isHiddenSSID is not set then the plugin acts as normal.
