How to get current wifi connection name in android pie(9) devices?

This is related to permissions....since API level 27 you need either ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION or ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION permission. You may also need CHANGE_WIFI_STATE for Android 9 (that's the case for wifi scan anyway as per google permisson model

then try this code

   ConnectivityManager connManager = (ConnectivityManager) activity.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        NetworkInfo networkInfo = connManager.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI);
        if (networkInfo.isConnected()) {
            WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) activity.getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
            WifiInfo wifiInfo = wifiManager.getConnectionInfo();
            wifiInfo.getSSID();
            String name = networkInfo.getExtraInfo();
            String ssid = "\"" + wifiInfo.getSSID() + "\"";
}

Get SSID when WIFI is connected

I listen for WifiManager.NETWORK_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION in a broadcast receiver

if (WifiManager.NETWORK_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION.equals(action)) {
    NetworkInfo netInfo = intent.getParcelableExtra (WifiManager.EXTRA_NETWORK_INFO);
    if (ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI == netInfo.getType ()) {
        ...
    }
}

I check for netInfo.isConnected(). Then I am able to use

WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
WifiInfo info = wifiManager.getConnectionInfo();
String ssid  = info.getSSID();

UPDATE

From android 8.0 onwards we wont be getting SSID of the connected network unless location services are enabled and your app has the permission to access it.
