getStringArrayExtra() returns null

Question

I am trying to create an android app on android studio which scans WIFI signals, and passes all the WIFI signal SSIDs containing "WDT_" to another intent.

When I run the app, it crashes due to a NPE. I debugged the app, and it says that intent.getStringArrayExtra() in MultipleWifi.java is null.

Am I doing something wrong with passing the string array?

MainActivity.java:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) this.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
    WifiConfiguration conf = new WifiConfiguration();

    int WDTWifiCount = 0;
    List<ScanResult> results = wifiManager.getScanResults();
    for (ScanResult scanResult : results) {
        if (scanResult.SSID.contains("WDT_")) {
            SSIDString[0] = (scanResult.SSID);
            WDTWifiCount++;
        }
    }

    WDTWifiCount = 2;
    SSIDString[0] = "WDT_12345";
    SSIDString[1] = "WDT_14445";

    if (WDTWifiCount < 1) {
        startActivity(new Intent(this, NoWifi.class));
    } else if (WDTWifiCount > 1) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(this, MultipleWifi.class);
        intent.putExtra("SSIDList", SSIDString);
        startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
    }

    conf.SSID = "\"" + networkSSID + "\"";
    conf.preSharedKey = "\"" + networkPass + "\"";

    WDTWifiCount = 0;
    wifiManager.addNetwork(conf);

    List<WifiConfiguration> list = wifiManager.getConfiguredNetworks();
    for (WifiConfiguration i : list) {
        if (i.SSID != null && i.SSID.equals("\"" + networkSSID + "\"") && WDTWifiCount != 0) {
            wifiManager.disconnect();
            wifiManager.enableNetwork(i.networkId, true);
            wifiManager.reconnect();

            break;
        }
    }

    myWebView = new WebView(this);
    myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
            view.loadUrl(url);
            return true;
        }
    });
    WebSettings webSettings = myWebView.getSettings();
    webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    webSettings.setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
    webSettings.setUseWideViewPort(true);
    webSettings.setSupportZoom(true);
    webSettings.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
    myWebView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());
    myWebView.loadUrl("http://192.168.1.1/index.html");
}

MultipleWifi.java:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.multiplewifi);

    Intent intent = getIntent();
    final String[] StringSSID = intent.getStringArrayExtra("SSIDstring");
    List<String> SSIDList = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(StringSSID));

    final Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
    ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, SSIDList);
    adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
    spinner.setAdapter(adapter);

    Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
    button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            String SSID = spinner.getSelectedItem().toString();
            Intent intent = new Intent();
            intent.putExtra("SSID", SSID);
            setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);
            finish();
        }
    });
}

EDIT: After editing the key in "intent.putExtra" to SSIDString it still returns null.

Answer 1

First take the user permisison!

if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M && checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
   requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION},
                 PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_CODE_ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION);
    //After this point you wait for callback in onRequestPermissionsResult(int, String[], int[]) overriden method

}else{
    getScanningResults();
   //do something, permission was previously granted; or legacy device
}

Answer 2

You are using wrong key

Intent intent = new Intent(this, MultipleWifi.class);
        intent.putExtra("SSIDList", SSIDString);
there is key that you are passing 
        startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
//change key you are using wrong key here
 final String[] StringSSID = intent.getStringArrayExtra("SSIDList");
