When you do connect to a Network, do you get a prompt in the notification bar ? Or do you directly connect to the WiFi from within the app?

I am seeing a notification saying "WiFi options available" and then clicking on takes me to the WiFi Settings..I would like this process to work directly within the app...any clue?

@Akshshr No, after android 8 version, you need to ask the user to choose the wifi (security)
