connect to specific access point android

Question

Hi i'm trying to connect my app to a specific access point using the wifimanager api. as it stands I have a list of all access point in my area,from this list i am storing them in a array and picking which one to connect to . but at this stage is dose not connect . can someone help me .

( this is a open network i'm trying to connect to . ) here is my code:

public void WifiConfiguration(){
    try {
        ScanResult networkData = getIntent().getParcelableExtra("networkData");

        WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager)getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
        String networkPassWord = "";

        WifiConfiguration conf = new WifiConfiguration();
        conf.SSID = "\"" + networkData.SSID + "\"";
        conf.BSSID = "\"" + networkData.BSSID + "\"";
        conf.hiddenSSID = true;
        conf.wepKeys[0] = "\"" + networkPassWord + "\""; 
        conf.wepTxKeyIndex = 0; 
        conf.status = WifiConfiguration.Status.ENABLED;        
        conf.allowedGroupCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.GroupCipher.TKIP);
        conf.allowedGroupCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.GroupCipher.CCMP);
        conf.allowedKeyManagement.set(WifiConfiguration.KeyMgmt.WPA_PSK);
        conf.allowedPairwiseCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.PairwiseCipher.TKIP);
        conf.allowedPairwiseCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.PairwiseCipher.CCMP);
        conf.allowedProtocols.set(WifiConfiguration.Protocol.RSN);

        conf.preSharedKey = "\""+ networkPassWord +"\"";

        //conf.allowedKeyManagement.set(WifiConfiguration.KeyMgmt.NONE);

        Log.d(TAG, "Initialising WIFI Manager");

        int id = wifiManager.addNetwork(conf);
        Log.d(TAG, "conf.SSID: "+conf.SSID);
        Log.d(TAG, "id: "+id);
        wifiManager.disconnect();
        wifiManager.enableNetwork(id, true);
        wifiManager.reconnect();       

        Log.d(TAG, "Should be connected....");

    } catch (Exception e) {

        Log.d(TAG, e.toString());
    }

}

I am looking at the number of users on the network and there is none, so the app is not making a connection — user3292394, Apr 02 '14 at 11:16

    conf.SSID = "\"" + networkData.SSID + "\"";
    conf.BSSID = "\"" + networkData.BSSID + "\"";

The BSSID doesn't need to be enclosed in double quotes, only the SSID.
