Broad cast receiver is not working

Question

First i prompts the user to open the wifi or not. I want to open the wifi if closed, scan all the wifi networks available and connect to certain one based on it's ssid.
I want to register a broad cast receiver to wait till the WifiManager to finish scanning results.

     public class Project1 extends Activity {

        /**
         * Called when the activity is first created.
         */
        EditText userName;
        EditText passWord;
        Button button;
        TextView thankYou;
        WifiManager wifiManager;
        List<ScanResult> results1;
        BroadcastReceiver receiver;
    public Boolean connectToNetworK() {
            Log.e("Start of connect","Debug");
            Log.e("before wifi manager of connect","Debug");
            if(!wifiManager.isWifiEnabled()){
                Log.e("wifi is not enabled","Debug");
                wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(true);
            }

            Log.e("after wifi manager of connect","Debug");
            List<ScanResult>results =null; 
            Log.e("after scan result = null","Debug");
            while(!wifiManager.isWifiEnabled())
            {
                Log.e("wifi still off","Debug");
            }
            Log.e("wifi is on","Debug");
            Log.e("starting scan","Debug");
            wifiManager.startScan();


            Log.e("waiting","Debug");
            if(results1!=null && !results1.isEmpty())
            {
                Log.e("Results1 is not emplty","Debug");
            }
    }
    @Override
        public void onStop()
        {
            unregisterReceiver(receiver);
        }
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            final Context contex = this;
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.main);
            wifiManager = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
    if(receiver == null){
                Log.e("Registering reciver","mark");
                receiver = new BroadcastReceiver(){
                    @Override
                    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent){
                        Log.e("In broad cast reciver","mark");
                        results1 =wifiManager.getScanResults();
                    }
                };
                registerReceiver(receiver, new IntentFilter(WifiManager.SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE_ACTION));

            }
    }
if (!mWifi.isConnected()) {
AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
            alert.setTitle("Please Open the Wifi");
            alert.setMessage("Your Wifi is Currently Turned off, Would You like to turn it on?");
            alert.setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                    //WifiManager wifi = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
                    if(connectToMobinilNetworK())
                    {
                        AfterWifiIsOn();
                    }
                    else{
                        Intent intent = new Intent(contex, ErrorPage.class);
                        startActivity(intent);}
                }
            });
            alert.setNegativeButton("No", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                    Intent intent = new Intent(contex, ErrorPage.class);
                    startActivity(intent);
                }
            });
            alert.show();
        }    }
}
    }
The list of scan resutls are always empty and the logs inside the broadcast receiver is not written.
Thanks in advance.

Do you have the correct permissions set up in your AndroidManifest? According to this guide, your permissions should look something like this:

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
