API Summary
Manages Wi-Fi connections on a webOS device. It provides an interface to find available Wi-Fi networks and handle connecting and disconnecting the device from those networks.
Overview of the API
This service provides the ability to manage various aspects of Wi-Fi connectivity like scanning the Wi-Fi networks, connecting to a network (open/secured/hidden) and managing Wi-Fi profiles.
About webos-connman-adapter daemon:
The webos-connman-adapter is a daemon which acts as the interface between connman (a daemon for managing internet connections) and rest of the webOS world. The webos-connman-adapter communicates to connman via dbus but provides the LS2 interface to all the webOS apps and services to enable them to get all the network related information and manage the connections.
Additional remarks:
Most of the methods under this API require that the connman be running and be able to communicate with the webos-connman-adapter else these methods will return an error.
Methods
cancel
ACG: wifi.management
- Added: API level 27
Description
Cancels an ongoing connection attempt. Once the connection is canceled, the state is switched back to idle and the credentials are not saved. If no connection attempt is in progress then calling this method will do nothing.
Parameters
None
Call Returns
Name | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| returnValue | Required | Boolean |
The method may fail because of one the error conditions described in the Error Codes Reference table of this method. See the Error Code Reference table for more information. |
| errorCode | Optional | Number | errorCode contains the error code if the method fails. The method will return errorCode only if it fails. See the Error Codes Reference of this method for more details. |
| errorText | Optional | String | errorText contains the error text if the method fails. The method will return errorText only if it fails. See the Error Codes Reference of this method for more details. |
Error Codes Reference
Error Code | Error Text | Error Description |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | Connman service unavailable | Error when webos-connman-adapter is not able to commmunicate with the connman daemon. |
| 5 | WiFi technology unavailable | Error when the Wi-Fi technology is not available. This could occur either because the wpa-supplicant daemon is not running, or connman is not able to communicate with wpa-supplicant or the device does not have Wi-Fi support. |
| 106 | No service is connecting currently | There is no connection in progress, so this error indicates there is no connection to cancel. |

connect
ACG: wifi.management
- Added: API level 11
Description
Connects to a given SSID, which can be an open network requiring no passphrase (i.e no security field in its argument), hidden network(requiring wasCreatedWithJoinOther field set to true in its argument), secure networks (authenticating with the specified passphrase), or enterprise networks(currently supported EAP methods are: PEAP, TLS and TTLS).
Upon successful connection, the Wi-Fi profile is saved on the system along with its SSID and security details. On the other hand, if the connection is unsuccessful but the parameter storeProfile is set to true then the Wi-Fi profile is still saved on the system along with the connman .config file, which enables connman to connect to this network once it is available. To connect to an already known network i.e a saved profile, the profileId parameter should be set.
Parameters
Name | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| ssid | Optional | string | SSID of the desired network. Required for all connections except when using a known profile (profileId parameter is set). |
| wasCreatedWithJoinOther | Optional | boolean | Indicates whether to connect to a hidden network. Possible values are:
Default value: false |
| storeProfile | Optional | Boolean | Indicates whether to store a profile for the network when it is not available (i.e out of range). Possible values are:
Default value: true |
| security | Optional | Object: security | Set to connect to a secured network. |
| profileId | Optional | number | ID of the desired profile, which can be obtained from the getprofilelist call. Required to connect with a known profile. |
Call Returns
Name | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| returnValue | Required | boolean | Indicates the status of operation. Possible values are:
|
| errorCode | Optional | Number | The error code for the failed operation. |
| errorText | Optional | String | Indicates the reason for the failure of the operation. See the "Error Codes Reference" section of this method for details. |

tethering/setState
ACG: wifi.management
- Added: API level 11
Description
Sets the Wi-Fi tethering state. Wi-Fi tethering can either be enabled or disabled.
At least the ssid field needs to be set before enabling tethering. This can be done either with a separate setState call or within the enable call.
The "ssid", "securityType" and "passPhrase" configuration values are persisted across device reboots.
Note: Although all parameters are optional, at least one parameter needs to be specified.

| securityType | Optional | String | The security type to use for authenticating clients. Possible values are
When open is used then the passphrase is cleared. When psk is used a then the passphrase needs to be set before enabling the Wi-Fi tethering. |
| passPhrase | Optional | String | The passphrase used to authenticate the new clients when Wi-Fi tethering is enabled. This field cannot be set when Wi-Fi tethering is enabled. A valid passphrase should have 8 to 63 characters. |
| timeout | Optional | Number | A timeout in minutes after which the Wi-Fi tethering is disabled, when no client is connected. Default value is 5 minutes. |
