Hi, 

For getting SSID and other wlan data on Android I was using QSystemInfo which 
is/was part of QtMobility. It was with Qt 4.8. I was able to get SSID and 
other data, unfortunately my app crashed when phone lost wi-fi signal, because 
of range, or router being turned off... IMHO some kind of bug inside this 
class.
At least when you peer at the sources of this class, it should give what you 
want.
Anyway I redesigned my app and I stopped using this class, but it was quite a 
long time ago, so maybe you should try this approach, I can see many hits on 
google with Qt Mobility on Android and apparently there is some kind of 
discussion about it.

Cheers
Marek
