I wrote a simple Android application to decode the SSID and display it, unfortunately I am having a slight issue. Some control characters are handled incorrectly by the ScanResult class.
Original string:
\x53\x50\x53\x3a\x41\x55\x53\x00\x00\x63\x3b\x15\x0b\x07\x3b\x76\xff\x31\x07\x5b\xcd\x15\x9c\x80\x07\x00\x00\x20\x04\x00\x00
Android values:
It looks like the UTF-8 decoder in String is replacing these invalid byte sequences.
Update: the octets can be obtained from the object's "wifiSsid.octets" buffer:
Unfortunately his value is hidden and problematically so is WifiSsid:
/**
* Ascii encoded SSID. This will replace SSID when we deprecate it. @hide
*/
public WifiSsid wifiSsid;
We cannot just straight out use Java reflection as we get a classNotFoundException when trying to use the internal API during development as explained here.
