Android device setup SDK "Could not find Network for SSID Photon-..."

Developer Tools
1

Ok so I’ve done a lot of searching and haven’t found anyone else having the same issue, so once again I must be doing something stupid. Going through the ParticleDeviceSetupLibrary.startDeviceSetup (SDK version 0.6.0), it sees my photon in listening mode, I select it and it tries to connect but fails with an error pop-up:

Error
Please try running setup again after resetting your Photon and putting it back in blinking blue listen mode if needed.

This is running on Android hardware not the emulator. When I try the same with the official Particle app (on the same hardware) it works though. There must be something wrong in my code, but it’s not obvious from the these logs.

Don’t worry, it’s not your code. There was a change in Android which caused this originally. The fix published in the Particle app but the updated device setup lib wasn’t published until now.

That new version is rolling out now as 0.6.1. Please speak up if you’re still having trouble after trying 0.6.1!

You know, I did read that comment:

Android doesn't have any means of directly asking "I want the Network obj for the Wi-Fi network with SSID ". Instead, you have to infer it based on a field. Let's hope that the behavior of "NetworkInfo.getExtraInfo()" doesn't ever change...

and wondered if something did indeed change :laughing:

Thanks Jens, all working now.

Excellent, glad to hear it!
