wifi.reScanAndLoadWifiList does not update on Android 8.0.0

[JanisCGN]

Hi, I am trying to use reScanAndLoadWifiList on Android 8.0.0 .
React-Native version is 0.57.5 and the phone is Samsung Galaxy S7 edge.

I was hoping reScanAndLoadWifiList was going to refresh the list every time I called, but so far it behaves exactly like wifi.loadWifiList - it loads the wifilist once and then returns exactly the same list every time it is called again.

I am using your sample code with output via ToastAndroid on refresh of the screen.

wifi.reScanAndLoadWifiList((wifiStringList) => {
ToastAndroid.show(wifiStringList,ToastAndroid.SHORT);
var wifiArray = JSON.parse(wifiStringList);
console.log('Detected wifi networks - ',wifiArray);
},(error)=>{
console.log(error);
});

Regards

this method uses the android method startScan which is marked as deprecated.

could do something like this:

wifi.reScanAndLoadWifiList(
  wifis =>
    console.log(JSON.parse(wifis)),
  error =>
    console.error(error) ||
    wifi.loadWifiList(
      wifis =>
        console.log(JSON.parse(wifis)),
      error => console.error(error)
    )
);
