title: Is it possible to scan for wireless clients using the Android SDK?
body: <p>A understand that the <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/WifiManager.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>WifiManager</code></a> returns a list of access points after a scan, but is it possible to also retrieve a list of wireless clients and their strengths?  </p>
  
  <p><strong>Update:</strong></p>
  
  <p>To clarify what I mean by a "wireless client", in a typical WiFi network there is a WiFi "access point" and one or more wireless clients that communicate with it.</p>
  
  <p>Some comments are saying it is not technically possible without querying the Access Point, which makes sense.</p>
  
  <p>I have used a tool such as <code>airmon-ng</code> to list all access points and every client within range. You can see there is a client, signal strength (PWR) and which access point (STATION) they're connected to in this screenshot:</p>
