This example demonstrates programmatically turning off and turning on WiFi in Kotlin.

Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ? New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.

Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"    android:layout_width="match_parent"    android:layout_height="match_parent"    tools:context=".MainActivity">    <TextView       android:layout_width="wrap_content"       android:layout_height="wrap_content"       android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"       android:layout_marginTop="50dp"       android:text="Tutorials Point"       android:textAlignment="center"       android:textColor="@android:color/holo_green_dark"       android:textSize="32sp"       android:textStyle="bold" />    <Button       android:id="@+id/button"       android:layout_width="wrap_content"       android:layout_height="wrap_content"       android:layout_centerInParent="true"       android:onClick="enableWifi"       android:text="Wifi On!" />    <Button       android:layout_width="wrap_content"       android:layout_height="wrap_content"       android:layout_below="@id/button"       android:layout_centerInParent="true"       android:onClick="disableWifi"       android:text="Wifi Off!" /> </RelativeLayout>

Step 3 − Add the following code to MainActivity.kt

import android.net.wifi.WifiManager import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity import android.os.Bundle import android.view.View import android.widget.Toast class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {    lateinit var wifiManager: WifiManager    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)       setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)       title = "KotlinApp"    }    fun enableWifi(view: View) {       wifiManager.isWifiEnabled = true       Toast.makeText(this, "Wifi enabled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()    }    fun disableWifi(view: View) {       wifiManager.isWifiEnabled = false       Toast.makeText(this, "Wifi disabled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()    } }

Step 4 − Add the following code to androidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    package="app.com.q36"> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" />    <application       android:allowBackup="true"       android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"       android:label="@string/app_name"       android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"       android:supportsRtl="true"       android:theme="@style/AppTheme">       <activity android:name=".MainActivity">          <intent-filter>             <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />             <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />          </intent-filter>       </activity>    </application> </manifest>
