android cant connect to wifi network programatically (drops after few seconds and come back to previous one)

I am trying to connect to a wifi network programatically. Android connects to it, but after few seconds it drops the connection and automatically connects to the previous one.

If i try to connect through the settings, android connects to my desire network and stay connected.

Am I missing something?

The wifi network the I am trying to connect does not have internet access. It is a open network created by arduino + esp8266. I am trying to do something like the configuration method of chromecast.

WifiConfiguration wifiConfiguration = new WifiConfiguration();
wifiConfiguration.SSID = "\"" + iotWifi + "\"";
wifiConfiguration.allowedKeyManagement.set(WifiConfiguration.KeyMgmt.NONE);
wifiConfiguration.priority = 40;
int res = wifiManager.addNetwork(wifiConfiguration);
wifiManager.saveConfiguration();
wifiManager.disconnect();
wifiManager.enableNetwork(res, true);
wifiManager.reconnect();
