I found online an app to scan Access points around a cellphone and get SSID I added to it getting Mac Address, and RSSI Value.

I want to add to it getting tsf, and Last beacon. you can see what I am looking for after running this command put your interface name instead of the Xs.

iwlist XXXX scan | grep 'ESSID\|Address\|Signal level\|Extra'

Also I want my server to initiate a request to the App to collecte the information about Access points around the devices without taking any action in the app as well as I want the app responses to the server with the information without taking any action in it.

This is the app I found online.

Usually people use push notifications for the server to initiate some action for the client. Also it is not clear what you want to do with those `XXXX ` – Vladyslav Matviienko Jun 18 '19 at 05:23
this is a command line you can run through a terminal in your computer but you have to replace the XXXX with your network interface card name... thanks for answering me – aliqah0a Jun 18 '19 at 05:38
are you sure that `iwlist` is available on Android? – Vladyslav Matviienko Jun 18 '19 at 05:39
No it is not .... I said above run it on your computer – aliqah0a Jun 18 '19 at 05:46
so you want to scan networks on Android, and run the command with the scanned networks on the computer? – Vladyslav Matviienko Jun 18 '19 at 05:55
this command line doesn't work in android system I put in my question to show you what I want my app to get if i run it.. i hope I cleared everything for you – aliqah0a Jun 18 '19 at 17:36
