No, just inconvinient.

No - there is not. You have to live with that.

Most of this thread was explaining basic networking to people who refuse to
google anything that they're unaware of - which is a waste of our time.

To explain basic networking to people who refuse to google it, my fee is
$200 per hour, but this thread wasn't intended to explain basic networking.

There were two parts to the original question, one of which we found
doesn't exist, but the other MUST exist - which is to figure out the
commands that connect to a given known WAP, and bundle that up.

I'm sure an app can be written to do that, since everything is hard coded,
but I don't have the skills to write that app.

Which is why I was hoping there would be an app to do it but there's not.

That question left of how to bundle the commands into an app or shortcut
needs someone with better networking skills than any of us possess.

I'll ask over in some wifi networking forums if experts know the sequence
of events that are required for Android to connect to a known WAP.

Thank you all very much for all your time and help in answering this!
You guys are great!

I probably won't respond further unless it's about those commands as most
of this thread was defending basic networking that I thought everyone knew.

But thank you all for your assistance as you helped me hone the direction I
must go to solve the problem - which is to find the sequence of commands.
