The java UI code for wifi is located in frameworks/base/wifi/java/android/net/wifi. The jni code is in frameworks/base/core/jni/android_net_wifi_Wifi.cpp. The top level UI code is located in the frameworks directory. I will make changes to this document as I learn more about Android. This is a work in progress, wifi works on my device. My hope is that this will be useful to developers. Comments are welcome and I will attempt to integrate this information/corrections as time goes on.
