Use Case: Improving User Experience by Obtaining Wifi Connection Information

A mobile application may want to access technical information about the Wi-Fi network the user is connected to. For example, by learning the network name (SSID), signal strength, or IP address, it is possible to provide the user with information about connection quality or to record this data for use in technical support scenarios.

The “Get Wifi Network Info” action only works if the user's device is connected to a Wi-Fi network and returns information about that network.

Adding the Get Wi-Fi Connection Information Action

Log in to the Kuika platform.

Open your mobile project from the Apps screen or create a new mobile application.

  1. Drag and drop a Button element from the Elements panel on the left side.
  2. In the Properties panel on the right side, enter a phrase such as “Check Connection” in the Label section of the button.
  3. Select the button and add the OnClick → Device → Get Wifi Network Info action from the + ADD ACTION menu.
  4. Save the action configuration.

Wifi Connection Information Evaluation and User-Oriented Actions

  • Obtaining Connection Information: When the button is clicked, the Get Wifi Network Info action is triggered and information about the device's connection status is obtained.
  • Wifi Connection Status: The action result returns whether the device is connected to Wifi via the On Wifi parameter.
    • If True, the application can start processes that require high bandwidth (e.g., video playback, file download).
    • If False, i.e., mobile data is being used, the application can offer the user a data saving mode or limit heavy processes.
  • SSID Information Usage: The SSID information of the WiFi network to which the user is connected is obtained, and content and permissions specific to corporate or private networks can be enabled. For example, extra permissions can be granted if the user is connected to the company network.

Get WiFi Network Info Action Advanced Customizations

  • Network-Based Customization: Specific content or permissions can be defined for certain WiFi networks using SSID information. For example, users connected to the company WiFi can access extra modules.
  • Multi-Action Integration: The Get Wifi Network Info action can be integrated with other actions (e.g., connection history logging or notification sending) after obtaining the connection information.

Technical Risks

  • Application Limitations: The action is only supported in Android and iOS mobile applications. Access to WiFi information may be restricted on some devices and operating system versions.
  • Connection Changes: WiFi connections may change instantly. Therefore, it is recommended to re-verify the connection information before critical operations.
  • Incorrect or Incomplete Data: SSID or BSSID information may sometimes be unavailable. The application must manage these situations and provide appropriate feedback to the user.

The Get WiFi Network Info action is an ideal solution for enhancing the user experience in your mobile applications by securely and accurately retrieving user connection information.
