Add permission in Android manifest and as well check run time permission for network state — Jhaman Das, Apr 11 '16 at 13:10
Should i add this permission in runtime android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE? — aman arora, Apr 11 '16 at 13:15
or this one android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE or both? — aman arora, Apr 11 '16 at 13:16
No, not work, I am using both permissions and its protection level is normal so I think no need to add this in runtime, and its already added in manifest — aman arora, Apr 11 '16 at 13:54
Though if it is added but in Marshmallow you have to check run time permission — Jhaman Das, Apr 11 '16 at 14:00
Yes I have checked it, its status is showing 0 i.e granted, so both permissions are already there, still I am not able to forgot network — aman arora, Apr 12 '16 at 07:28

You should use like this:

WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
       int networkId = wifiManager.getConnectionInfo().getNetworkId();
       wifiManager.removeNetwork(networkId);
       wifiManager.saveConfiguration();

Hope it will helps you !!

Any exception or something else ? – Jhaman Das Apr 12 '16 at 07:42
Nothing no exception, disableNetwork function is working fine but removeNetwork doesn't remove the configure network – aman arora Apr 12 '16 at 07:47
