I have called the wifi_refresh() from the menu to automatically update wifi info, however, in this way, there is nothing shown on the display. However, when I use the button to refresh, everything works fine. Anyone help?

Make sure that the thread calling the wifirefresh method is also the UI thread . Because in Android there is only one main UI thread and the others are not non UI threads .
Hope this helps .
