Android: Active Scanning for wifi networks

Question

Is it possible to perform an active wifi scan on android without using the, according to this post, undocumented API call startScanActive()?

Are there any other possibilities to do this and perform an active scan?

Ok, it seems that is just not possible. One possible "Workaround" to use startScanActive() is described here, but that is not guaranteed to work.

You should use the WifiManager class, startScan() and getScanResults() methods
