Found some problems with barcode reader though! It would take forever to read the barcode and QR code! Are u reading a barcode or a QR code?

I'm using Barcode Scanner, and i have no issue. It's extremely fast reading both barcodes and QR.
Hi fellow xda-developers,
I am happy to announce my first Android app, InstaWifi. InstaWifi is a new and fun way to connect and share your wifi networks with your friends and family.
I built this with NFC and QR code support. Simply tap on a NFC sticker or scan a QR code to connect to a wifi network instantly. Android Beam is also supported so you can skip the whole NFC sticker part.
Download the app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.jessechen.instawifi
For more details, screenshots, and tutorials, check out my website: http://www.instawifi.jessechen.net/
Looking forward to any feedback or comments you guys have. Thanks!
Looks great can't wait to try it out

Thanks, let me know how it goes!
Indeed looking great
Am I right someone WITHOUT root can use this to connect with current WiFi?
I suppose so..
Thanks

Two questions...
1) Does the other person need to have the app as well, or will just any QR scanner app on any Android device work with this?
2) You can probably guess where that question will lead next, if someone has an (ugh!) iPhone or iPad with a QR scanner app, will it be able to automatically connect as well?
Thanks!
Loving the concept of the app, and it Works!

Yes, root is ONLY used to pre-populate the security type and passwords so that you don't have to manually type it in yourself. It is not required at all in order for it to work otherwise.

1) The other person needs to have the Barcode Scanner app installed (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.zxing.client.android). It's the most popular barcode scanner app out there with ~50,000,000 downloads, so most people should have it already.
2) iOS devices can't automatically connect unfortunately due to the limitations of apple's platform (apps cannot control/manipulate wifi). If that ever changes you know I'll be there to write an app that can do it!
Tested this with my Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100).
But I can't connect to my Wifi via QR-Code. Is there a (known) issue with hidden SSIDs maybe?
The Wifi Settings of the phone tell me the Wifi is "not in range".
I'm on CM10 with Siyah Kernel.
An excellent app.
An extremely minor suggestion: not use a square icon but one with a "distinctive silhouette".
Can totally be ignored though

I believe hidden SSIDs have an issue with this. I'll try to see if that can be fixed in the future.

Hi, I have a Galaxy Nexus with CM10 and InstaWifi is no longer populating the password field.
Code:
D/su (20451): 10080 net.jessechen.instawifi executing 0 /system/bin/sh using shell /system/bin/sh : sh
I/k (20159): sudo made me a sandwich
I/k (20159): no root access, returning null password value

As I don't have NFC can the QR code be saved so it can be opened in gallery later, rather than having to launch InstaWiFi again?
You might also want to add cancel to the popup that asks to connect to WiFi. I opened in error and had to turn on WiFi before I could exit out of InstaWiFi.
Just my .02 cents.
Nice Idea, but Useless...
Its a nice idea though. But its a useless and impractical idea.
I think verbally spelling out the wifi password to the guests/friends is easier, time saving and hassle free because everyone has at least mouth & ears to communicate password.
Everyone doesn't have that app,
Everyone doesn't have Android,
Everyone doesn't have QR code reader/Barcode reader,
Everyone doesn't have NFC or beam
and to avoid all the hussles and frustration of not getting it through.... just communicate the password verbally... It just takes a moment to say a password rather than bieng in this hassle

let me correct your grammar (or typo?):
Not everyone have that app,
Not everyone have Android,

Let me answer some of your questions:
- "Not everyone have Android." are u kidding me dude? You are here, the Android community! other OS are not talked here, they talked in other section!
- "Not everyone have QR code reader/Barcode reader," Yeah, you can always download it from Play Store
- "spelling out the wifi password to the guests/friends is easier." How do u can spell if the password is XdAiSTHEbest!ILOVExda#[email protected]$
Nobody answered pretty straight forward question. Does the receiver needs to have the InstaWifi app?
If yes, petty because it is easier to pass the password old fashion way.
If not, great app, especially for bars or public places...

Short answer: no.
According to the xda video on InstaWifi the recipient/receiver just needs to scan the QR-Code or a NFC capable smartphone.
Edit:
Apparently it is not as a simple/short answer as a 'no'. Sorry, my bad. The OP explained it in the post below.
Thx for the clarification.

Yeah, I understand that this can be a bit confusing. I'll try to break it down as simple as I can:
NFC:
1) Receiver must have the app installed, Android does not have native support to connect to a wifi network instantly, an app (which in this case, InstaWifi) needs to handle the incoming NFC data and connect to wifi for you.
2) If the receiver does not have the app installed, tapping the NFC sticker automatically takes you to the play store to download InstaWifi. Once it's downloaded, tap the sticker again and you should be good to go (hopefully less than 20 seconds for the whole ordeal, which can still be faster than typing out a super long password).
QR:
1) Receiver does not have to have InstaWifi installed. Reciever needs to have the Barcode Scanner app installed for it to work.
Hope that clarifies some things.
kool concept Loving app
But what if someone wants to use wifi and already at your house and has neither Data plan or QR reader or this app lol

Now let me get back to your replies:
"are u kidding me dude? You are here, the Android community! other OS are not talked here, they talked in other section!":
Agreed.... But I meant to say that everyone visiting my place and asking for wifi password do not need to belong to Android community. do u understand that now?
"Not everyone have QR code reader/Barcode reader," Yeah, you can always download it from Play Store:
Let me put it this way....
Friend: whats your wifi password?
Me: you can scan the QR code for that dear.
Friend: but i dont have the QR Code reader
Me: Oh! AngSanley said you can always download it from Play store :angel:
Friend: But how can i download it from the Play store unless you don't tell me the password to connect to internet through wifi?
Me: Thats not my business :laugh: \
"spelling out the wifi password to the guests/friends is easier." How do u can spell if the password is XdAiSTHEbest!ILOVExda#[email protected]$:
Friend: Ok F**k it, just spell out your wifi password.
Me: XdAiSTHEbest!ILOVExda#[email protected]$
Friend: Whaatttttt?????????? who keeps such complicated passwords?

Friend: Get a life dude! You are complicated...

"Share files over wifi" (ShareBox) it's a new free tool app aimed to easily share files over wifi through web browser
When using ShareBox, you will not have anymore let friends and relatives take your device to show them your photos or videos. They will see them through their own device, be it android, iphone, windows, blackberry or linux, through their web browsers. And they will only see what you want to show in a quick, comfortable way and simultaneously!
As other devices begin to connect you will immediately know what they are watching through the informative Sharebox log list.
Get it at Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.b6dev.sharebox
Features that makes this app special:
Share the files through browser, so you can get them from any device that has a web browser be it android, iphone, ipad, windows, blackberry or linux.
Only shares and shows the files previously selected.
May be used with wifi networks, own wifi hotspot and also on phone 3g connections.
When ShareBox server is on, you are presented with a URL link to see what others are going to see.
As other devices begin to connect you will know what they are watching through the log list.
Very useful for photo shows as it presented by default as gallery, but also has a list mode that may be more suitable for other kind of files.
Go and try it!
Anyone to provide feedback or suggestions for this application, please?
Came here cause I saw the app in the XDA portal, seems simple enough and ultra handy for the people who really struggle to send files. :good:
I also saw this on the XDA portal. Looks like a great idea; I have to try it out.
A few questions:
1) How do you connect over data (e.g. 3g)?
EDIT: I see the server status page has a WAN IP as well. Do we need to do any port forwarding or anything like that?
2) Can you download the files as well, or just view them?
3) Is there a way to add whole folders?
Hmm I like the concept !
(Not yet tried app - wishing you had a direct download link to fileshare service along with G-Store link)
Here's what I would like to be able to do and hoping your app can handle it.
Share a folder, then view / download those files through the browser.
Guessing http //device.ip/share

Portforwarding is common for any server, u might need to do it if connect to a router
I think u can start the server on mobile network directly
Sorry for my bad English...
Sent from my HTC Desire 200 using XDA Premium 4 Mobile app
Yeah I managed to download the app, with VPN & G'Play..
Nope, I cant add a whole folder.
Every-time I attempt to look at settings *CRASH*
I added a screenshot to share, it shows in PC browser as link, but wont download /open
Looking at path tells me why

'ictures' ? Really
I would rather use port 80 or 8080..
hence why I 'try' open settings, after tapping settings, about 6 seconds later. *CRASH*
The app works perfectly on my Oneplus One, it does exaclty what it says and it saved me from a lot of trouble.
Thanks!
Nice idea and works.
maybe add themes for the Web interface.
let me know if u need any help with that.

The connection is made through ip sockets, so you may connect not only through wifi but also through all ip addresses your mobile may has, at the time you turn on your ShareBox

Yes of course! If you do it from your mobile web browser keep your finger pressed over the target file till the contextual menu shows up. If done through computer browser use your secondary mouse button. Easy!

Adding whole folders may be done through workarounds (using third party file managers or file compression) but is not yet "officially" supported

Yes, you may change the port used through settings menu, but restriction to use ports below 1024 is keeped. As stated before, please report your crashes with as much information as possible.

Yes, I did via G android.
I will sit down later and give you more information
But, dinner comes first
Summary
Samsung Tab 3 10" - Tap Settings - a delay, screen stay same - then after 6 seconds, maybe bit longer, app closes with msg box (every time)
Would it be possible to enable nfc "sharing"?
For example, if I have sharebox opened and running on a certain ip and port, and I tap another nfc device, then the other device's default browser would open up, already displaying the sharebox url.
Kinda like I can share a web url or maps location via android beam, but this time the beam wouldnt be between two identical apps, but between sharebox and the default browser of the other device.
Cheers!

Hey no problem, I'll just update again..
I dont mind reporting bugs..
What I really need though, would be an app which can share a folder.
(Not just an interface that lets me share all the files in the folder quickly)
Something which shares 'that folder' live..
So if folder contents update 'live', refreshing the page will reflect the changes, much like a web-server would
If I try to add a cloud pic (I click add file, select stock kitkat gallery, click on a picasa / g+ image) the app force closes.
Can cloud pics be added? I dont think that nowadays people keep more than a few recently took photos on their device, both for memory and sync / backup reasons...
