Since version 21 (?) UiAutomator has access to Instrumentation and thus to Context.

Instrumentation instrumentation = InstrumentationRegistry.getInstrumentation();
Context context = instrumentation.getContext();
WifiManager wManager = context.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE); //this works for other services as well

Now you can use all WifiManager methods such as:

wManager.isWifiEnabled()
wManager.setWifiEnabled(boolean)  //turn wifi on and off

method-1

Goto Wifi page- check "Conncted" string below your ssid.

method-2

check out put of adb shell netcfg and grep for valid ipaddress for wifi interface,mostly- wlan0.

method-3 (but works on rooted phones)

check out put of adb shell wpa_cli ifname=wlan0 status, It gives wifi connected or not information.

All above methods you can code with uiautomator.
