[SailfishDevel] Get current SSID?

[Slava Monich]

Hi Anton,

I would say the easiest way is to find a connman service which matches 
the following criteria:

1. "Type" property value is "wifi"
2. "State" property value is "online" or "ready"

Then the value of its "Name" property would be SSID of the AP you're 
connected to, converted to text assuming UTF-8 encoding.

Note that if SSID is not a valid UTF-8, then connman still transforms it 
into something printable but you won't be able to reconstruct the actual 
SSID out of it. In your case it probably doesn't matter that much.

This command gives you an idea what to expect from connman:

dbus-send --system --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=net.connman / 
net.connman.Manager.GetServices

libconnman-qt (https://git.sailfishos.org/mer-core/libconnman-qt) might 
simplify things a bit, but keep in mind that it's not allowed in harbour 
and isn't particularly backward compatible (i.e. if you end up using it, 
you better compile in the required pieces of it statically).

Cheers,
-Slava
