Android :: How To Get Notified If Phone Access Internet?
Jun 26, 2010Is there a broadcast receiver or some kind of setting that we can listen/monitor to get notified if the internet/network has been connected.

Is there a broadcast receiver or some kind of setting that we can listen/monitor to get notified if the internet/network has been connected.
I was wondering is it possible to get a notification of when a new configured network is added to the Wifi Manager in Android? I know you can get the current list of configured networks.

But is it possible to get notification of when a new one is added? I don't see anything in the Wifi Manager that would be helpful. How this could be achieved?
Does Android provide a notification of being in vicinity of a new Wifi Network? Whether the device is configured to connect to that wifi network depends on whether the device has the wifi configuration set for that particular wifi network, but is it possible to get notification whenever entering any new wifi network?
I saw the WifiManager class but the states inside the class do not seem to achieve what I am trying to do. Any ideas?

I am on a debranded Orange handset running Android 2.2. Had the phone for around 4 months without issue. I went to London last weekend and started noticing problems with the mobile internet. I was largely relying on it to get me around but the mobile internet is playing up. Even if I have H or 3G signal, my phone has suddenly stopped getting internet access or i get network errors. Nothing has changed on my handset and I usually get good signal wherever I go. I'm currently in work where I always get 3G symbol. I have the 3G symbol now with both arrows animated yet my web browser won't load anything and the market place just says I have no network access. Could this be something to do with the Orange/T-Mobile merge? Or has my phone died on me?

Android 2.3.7 device is connected to an IPv6 internet connection
Tethering is legal for your device/carrier
The ipv6-test gives 10/10 (perfect score) for IPv6 readiness for your phone, and you can access e.g. [URL] ..... using the phone itself
You want to tether to a PC using USB
Device is rooted
Is there a way to give the PC access to the phone's IPv6 internet connection?
I'm assuming that we can't give the PC a public IPv6 address, because the phone is probably only allotted one IPv6 address from the carrier; plus they might treat your plan differently or something if you try to claim another IP address (it's an unnecessary complexity)
So what we actually need to do is, to create a NAT IPv6 space on the device, just like we do for IPv4 when we tether, and provision an IP to the PC that way. Then we have to do something for DNS; I guess we can use OpenDNS's AAAA servers.
Do any of the existing tethering methods support this at all, or is this something I'd have to do manually? Also, is it possible even in theory on Android 2.3, or is it known that a newer version of Android will enable it?
Just wondering if anyone knew how to connect HTC Desire to a laptop to use the phone's Mobile Network Sharing feature? I want to use Bluetooth for the connection, not a USB cable.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just got my Captivate from AT&T and it has Firmware 2.1 update 1. First question is, Will I be notified on the Phone when an update is available? Second, I have my phone Rooted do I need to un root when Firmware update comes out and I upgrade? Final question,though this not a Firmware question per say I can't get GPS to work at all is this issue be addressed?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have used below steps for setup the my emulator
1.C:Program Filesandroid-sdk-window ools>adb shell
2. # sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
3. sqlite> INSERT INTO system VALUES(99,'http_proxy', '10.10.8.1:8080');
After that i closed adb shell command prompt and my emulator. and then opened my emulator but webbrowser is not opening any page(web page not available messaage) .
I've been using this method to gain access to internet from my Android emulator. emulator -http-proxy <> -avd <>
It works but is that the best way to do it? It just doesn't feel right that I need to open the emulator from command line and can't just do it from Eclipse or something.
Can't seem to find an internet option on the "AVD Manager" either.
I just installed the SDK and then added the 1.6 component. Then I created an AVD. When I launch the AVD (inidentally, there is a brief error message saying could not load preferences) and try and login, it says no network connection. THe computer definitely has an Internet connection, otherwise I could not write this message.. Evberything I have read suggests you don't have to do anything special to get Internet access in the emulator. My computer's Internet connection is via LAN, which connects to a 3G router. I read something about using 10.0.2.2 in the proxy settings, but when I specify that in their SDK, the SDK hangs upon launch as it tries to find the repository, or whatever it does at startup.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAt my campus, to get internet connection, I need to log on to a SSH server like they write:.you must manually log in to the firewall server, by establishing a pseudo-tty-less ssh connection to it. The following command can be used on most systems: ssh -T -l [username] [server-URL]I must be logged on to the server for as long as I want internet.Does anyone have any idea how to accomplish this on Android?I have a little experience in writing basic apps for Android, but not much with SSH, any help is appreciated.
/Update
Tried ConnectBot, but the server replies "You may only connect without a pseudo-tty!" at login attempt. I have no idea what "pseudo-tty" is, and I have looked in the settings of ConnectBot, there is no mention of this.
/Update2
Searched for any further info about the pseudo-tty-less function, in connection with OpenSSH. No luck so far, only a definition of the -T parameter which has no equivalent in ConnectBot.
I have an android application(Android 2.2) accessing internet behind proxy. I have tried setting an APN with proxy host & port and it works fine in emulator browser. But the application fails to connect to internet. I have also tried command line option of -http-proxy, it doesn't work.

Like are they all weather, sat nav, or use the internet to show you locations, and such? I'm just wondering how many apps will require me to use GPRS when outside of a WiFi zone, which would be quite a lot of places really!

I'm trying to develop an android application that uses network connection. The server is up and running, but when i am trying to access it from the device that runs the android app (in debug mode-using eclipse) it outputs a message that 'cannot find the server' after a UnknownHostException occurs! I have tested the server with a java application and it works fine! What is the problem then with the device?

So, any other thoughts?
love the app but hoping someone who knows more about it than i do can shed some "light" on why it needs Internet access.
I get the following Exception running my app:
java.net.SocketException: Permission denied (maybe missing INTERNET permission)
How do I solve the missing permission problem?
Is there an app that can make it so my wireless is turned off UNTIL a certain app is used? Like when I open dolphin or tapatalk for example. Then once I close it it automatically shuts down the WiFi again.

It will be perfect if our app can access internet without asking for the permission INTERNET. I found it is OK to open browser with a URL without that permission but the user will notice that. Is there a way to access Internet without the INTERNET permission and hide from user?

Since I need to update my UI every time the screen is refreshed I am executing the AsyncTask in my onResume method. code...
I dismiss the REFRESH_DIALOG dialog in the onPostExecute() method in the AsyncTask.
For testing I rotate the screen to landscape. Things work well. The problem is when I try to rotate again to portrait. I get 'java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: no dialog with id 1 was ever shown ...'. id 1 is for the REFRESH_DIALOG.
How do I get rid of this error? Is there a better way to do an Internet access to update my UI every time the screen is refreshed?
My hotspot is all set up. I turn it on and I can see it from my laptop. I connect the laptop and EVO says there is 1 connection. But, the laptop connection gets no Internet access. I've tried it with and without security set up. I've rebooted. I even took the battery out and let it rest. (All of that cleared out the Error 67 on the phone but still the laptop sees no Internet.) Internet on the phone is great - even got 4G, but. What in the heck am I doing wrong? How can I get Internet access for the laptop?
