    copied!<p>I'm attempting to connect to wifi using Android programatically however when I input my WEP key in Hex - Logcat states it's too long. When I attempt to use plaintext - it states it is too short (and never connects). When I type it in manually outside the app I've built (by simply typing the password: superman) it connects! </p> <p>P.S.</p> <p>I'm attempting to use the following StackOverflow example:</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8818290/how-to-connect-to-a-specific-wifi-network-in-android-programmatically">How do I connect to a specific Wi-Fi network in Android programmatically?</a></p> <p>With Hex:</p> <pre><code> String networkSSID = "ANDRE-PC_NETWORK"; String networkPass = "73:75:70:65:72:6d:61:6e"; </code></pre> <p>LOGCAT:</p> <pre><code>04-04 12:12:13.643: E/wpa_supplicant(594): Line 0: Too long WEP key 0 '"73:75:70:65:72:6d:61:6e"'. 04-04 12:12:13.643: E/WifiConfigStore(479): failed to set wep_key0: "73:75:70:65:72:6d:61:6e" 04-04 12:12:13.793: I/ActivityManager(479): Displayed com.nfc.linked/.Connect: +855ms 04-04 12:12:16.283: W/GAV2(3422): Thread[Service Reconnect,5,main]: Connection to service failed 1 </code></pre> <p>Without Hex: </p> <pre><code> String networkSSID = "ANDRE-PC_NETWORK"; String networkPass = "superman"; </code></pre> <p>LOGCAT:</p> <pre><code>04-04 12:23:10.913: E/wpa_supplicant(594): Line 0: Invalid WEP key length 8 - this network block will be ignored </code></pre> <p>SOURCE: </p> <pre><code>import java.util.List; import android.app.Activity; import android.net.wifi.WifiConfiguration; import android.net.wifi.WifiManager; import android.os.Bundle; import android.util.Log; import android.content.Context; public class Connect extends Activity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.connect); String networkSSID = "ANDRE-PC_NETWORK"; String networkPass = "superman"; WifiConfiguration conf = new WifiConfiguration(); conf.SSID = "\"" + networkSSID + "\""; //ssid must be in quotes conf.wepKeys[0] = "\"" + networkPass + "\""; conf.wepTxKeyIndex = 0; conf.allowedKeyManagement.set(WifiConfiguration.KeyMgmt.NONE); conf.allowedGroupCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.GroupCipher.WEP40); conf.preSharedKey = "\""+ networkPass +"\""; conf.allowedKeyManagement.set(WifiConfiguration.KeyMgmt.NONE); WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager)getSystemService(WIFI_SERVICE); wifiManager.addNetwork(conf); List&lt;WifiConfiguration&gt; list = wifiManager.getConfiguredNetworks(); for( WifiConfiguration i : list ) { if(i.SSID != null &amp;&amp; i.SSID.equals("\"" + networkSSID + "\"")) { wifiManager.disconnect(); wifiManager.enableNetwork(i.networkId, true); wifiManager.reconnect(); break; } } }} </code></pre>
