WifiManager myWifi;
WifiReceiver availableWifi;
List<ScanResult> availableWifiList;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
messageText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.messageText);
myWifi = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
availableWifi = new WifiReceiver();
registerReceiver(availableWifi, new IntentFilter(WifiManager.SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE_ACTION));
myWifi.startScan();

}
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

public void onReceive(Context c, Intent intent) {
sb = new StringBuilder();
availableWifiList = myWifi.getScanResults();
for(int i = 0; i < availableWifiList.size(); i++){
sb.append(new Integer(i+1).toString() + ".");
sb.append((availableWifiList.get(i)).toString());
sb.append("\n");
