I made an app in android that lists wifi's and can connect to them. I also want to prioritize my phone so that it always connects to the network I have selected as priority. How can I do it.

Hello,

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

If your android target framework version is Android 10 (API level 29), you can use WifiNetworkSuggestion.Builder.setPriority method to set the Wi-Fi Priority for Android.

If you use WifiConfiguration to connect Wi-Fi in API level 26, you can set the priority directly.

Please refer to this google document about the Wi-Fi suggestion API https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/wifi-suggest, if you want to use it in the xamarin.android, they are similar.

I donot have Wi-Fi environment to make a test. Here is demo code to use WifiNetworkSuggestion.

WifiNetworkSuggestion suggestion1 = new WifiNetworkSuggestion.Builder()
                .SetSsid("SSID here")
                .SetWpa2Passphrase("Password")
                .SetPriority(int.MaxValue)
                .Build();

            List<WifiNetworkSuggestion> suggestionsList = new List<WifiNetworkSuggestion>();
            suggestionsList.Add(suggestion1);

            WifiManager wifiManager =(WifiManager)ApplicationContext.GetSystemService(Android.Content.Context.ConnectivityService);

             var status = wifiManager.AddNetworkSuggestions(suggestionsList);
            if (status != NetworkStatus.SuggestionsSuccess)
            {
                // do error handling here…
            }
