[android-developers] Re: Clarity on Wi-Fi Based application !!??

Well Kostya , thanks again..

"Unless the router is under your control"

Yes, am trying with a Router that is configurable and controlled by
us.

"A MAC address is just that - a MAC address, in this case, the Wifi
router will see the address of the phone's Wifi adapter. It has
nothing
to do with any other IDs, such as the cellular network's IMEI, etc.
But
it's guaranteed to be unique."

Got that, but wat i really need to understand is if
android.provider.Settings.System.ANDROID_ID and the physical
(MAC)address that gets logged in the Router are the same ?

"The central issue is where exactly (phone vs. router) you are able to
run the necessary code. It's easy to do on the phone"

Well, here is my scenario
I need to invoke an activity X (via Notification manager ) when am
in Access Point 'A'.Assuming neccessary logic is at the mobile end.
Now when i add a new access point 'B' and need to invoke X (when am
in AP 'A' or 'B') , in this case i need to change the code at mobile
end isn't it ?
All i need is to avoid that.
Rephrasing that ,
Mobile devices has to be independent of the logic written to invoke
notification mgr to call my activity as i need that logic to be
dynamically decided at the server end.
am trying if something like a push notification sent to the device
when in a specific n/w would work out ?! N figuring out like hw 2
implement that !!
Let me know if thats feasible or if am missing out something.
