    You can change system settings programatically.

    First you need to request the ‘WRITE_SETTINGS’ permission in your ‘AndroidManifest.xml’:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS"/>

    Then you need to actually change the setting using the following code:

        android.provider.Settings.System.putString(getContentResolver(), android.provider.Settings.System.WIFI_USE_STATIC_IP, "0");
    android.provider.Settings.System.putString(getContentResolver(), android.provider.Settings.System.WIFI_STATIC_DNS1, "192.168.0.2");
    android.provider.Settings.System.putString(getContentResolver(), android.provider.Settings.System.WIFI_STATIC_DNS2, "192.168.0.3");
    android.provider.Settings.System.putString(getContentResolver(), android.provider.Settings.System.WIFI_STATIC_GATEWAY, "192.168.0.1");
    android.provider.Settings.System.putString(getContentResolver(), android.provider.Settings.System.WIFI_STATIC_NETMASK, "255.255.255.0");
    android.provider.Settings.System.putString(getContentResolver(), android.provider.Settings.System.WIFI_STATIC_IP, "1");

    The current settings can be accessed via the same method but use ‘getString’ instead of ‘putString’.
