Unable to connect to wifi network. Android

I am trying to connect to the wfi network which I have scanned. For testing I am giving ssid and key to wifi configurration and connecting to the network but in device its not getting connected.

Using following method to connect to the network.

fun connectToANewWifiNetwork() {
    val wifiConfig = WifiConfiguration()
    wifiConfig.SSID = String.format("\"%s\"", "GK")
    wifiConfig.preSharedKey = String.format("\"%s\"", "Sid_GK_2417")
    val wifiManager = applicationContext.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE) as WifiManager
    val netId = wifiManager.addNetwork(wifiConfig)
    wifiManager.enableNetwork(netId, true)
    wifiManager.reconnect();
    ProgressDialogUtils.getInstance().hideProgress()
}

Also is there any way to detect if we are connected to the given network?

What am I doing wrong here..?

Please help...

If you are running on Android 10 or higher, you'll need to switch to using the WifiNetworkSpecifier mechanism, which requires user interaction in order to connect. For example:

val specifier = 
  WifiNetworkSpecifier.Builder()
    .setSsid("GK")
    .setWpa2Passphrase("Sid_GK_2417")
    .build()

val networkRequest =
  NetworkRequest.Builder()
    .addTransportType(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI)
    .removeCapability(NetworkCapabilities.NET_CAPABILITY_INTERNET)
    .setNetworkSpecifier(specifier)
    .build()

val networkCallback = object : NetworkCallback() {
 override fun onAvailable(network: Network) {
   // Connected to network here
 }
}

context.getSystemService(ConnectivityManager.class)
  .requestNetwork(networkRequest, networkCallback)
