Android - How to disable WiFi channel scan programatically?

In Android, is there a way to programatically disable the WiFi channel scan? Looking at WiFiManager I did not see anything short of disabling WiFi, but I'd like to just disable the channel scans.

You can´t disable Wifi channel scan because this is a default system behavior (on every ~30 seconds Android check wifi channels).

One thing you can do is force to connect in any Wifi channel, so Android will no longer try to scan another channel.

Wifi cannot disabled programatically but you can always prompt the user to disable with an intent to the wifi settings.

startActivity(new Intent(WifiManager.ACTION_PICK_WIFI_NETWORK));
