This is the code that I'm using to check whether an internet connection is available
CODE:................
I've also set these permissions in the manifest file.
CODE:.................
This works fine in the emulator running version 1.5 of Android when 3G is enabled, but it crashes when I disable the 3G connection. My application throws a null pointer exception when I call isConnectedOrConnecting(). The same thing also happens on my HTC Desire running Android 2.1.
I am trying to check internetconnectivity in android and using following code
CODE:..........
But it gives me network/ wifi connectivity if wifi is connected it gives me true and if internet is not connected then it also gives me true.
How can I check got a successful Internet connect (Wifi/3G/whatever else) I already display an error to the user if they don't have Wifi connection but how can I make sure then that the user does got 3G connection if they wish to connect to use the application without the Wifi connection?

This is also the 1st android app I have written so I'm still finding my way around so any help/advice would be appreciated. I'm sure the variables should be assigned to something but I don't know what. The classes don't appear to have public constructors so I can't do "WifiInfo info = new WifiInfo()".............

I'm working on a security project which needs connect to internet in a stealthy manner. 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?

I wanted to make that easily reusable much like some kind of component.
Everything works fine but as a final touch i wanted to add a function to check if internet connection is available.
Problem is, the call to the connectivity manager needs the Context :
ConnectivityManager connec = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService (Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
Since i'm in an anonymous class and I've read that it's not a good idea to pass the whole context to classes, I wondered about two things :
1 - Is there another way to check internet connection without the Context ? 2 - Why in Android internals make it necessary to have the context just to check if the device is connected to internet ?
Today i made a upgrade from android 2.1 tot 2.2.After the update everything is working very well except the internet connection.It works very well with WiFi but not the telephone connection.When I turn off the wifi I can't make any connection with the internet.Have someone any solution?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI was just wondering how, if possible, to check Internet usage? I'm with Orange on a monthly contract, think my allowance is 500GB a month? Is there a way to check usage as going along, don't fancy getting a bill at the end of the month which is huge! Say I use the Internet (Google, Facebook etc etc) one hour a day, is that a reasonable amount to be within the 500GB limit? I don't want to get a huge surprise when the monthly bill comes through.

Anyway he was on this website to check his internet speed on his pre and so I wanted to check mine. I was averaging ~500kbps and I hit 1000kbps once. But my friend, he was averaging 8.5MBps, yes MBps. Obviously same network, at the same time. What up wit dat?
We also tried to go to websites we had never been to at the same time and he was beating me pretty handly. Anyway, I wanted to see what you guys were getting? Site is mobilespeedtest.com, then it run test and post results! Whoa, just did it right now and I got 1311kbps.

It states that enabling this will "require more battery plus view of sky"
When checked, it states "deselect to conserve battery"
So, the question is, should this be enabled?
I imagine for some applications, knowing your precise location should be useful, especially if the turn-by-turn maps are installed and used.
I'm thinking to deselect this, and selecting it at times when I need it.
So, to check or not to check?
I know Android cannot handle PDFs natively. However, the Nexus One (and possibly other phones) come pre-Installed with QuickOffice Viewer. How would I determine whether the user has a PDF viewer installed?
Currently, the code to start the PDF download looks pretty simple:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(intent);
After the download, the user clicks on the downloaded file to invoke the viewer.
However, if there is no PDF viewer, Android reports "Cannot download. The content is not supported on the phone."
I want to determine if the user will get this message, and if so, direct them to PDF apps in the Android Market.

I want to check if my application is set as the default application for the Intents I'm handling inside my App.
As an example ff more than one application supports to open a specified file format. I need to make my application as a default application from my code. How it possible to make my application a default (from the code)? Can anyone help me?
At least I would like to check this on startup of my app and redirect the user to fill in some information if my App is not set as the default on the device.
I'm almost a noob in this huge world of Androids and cupcakes and Froyos and Eclairs and Gingerbreadman. So what I want to ask is what stuff should I check in the phone when buying it used from another person. I know to check the standard functions like calling, msging, camera, wifi, gprs/edge, gps etc. But I don't know any other thing.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am currently travelling at Hongkong, here in Mongkok district of Hongkong, there are hundreds of shops selling mobile phones at 'quite cheap' prices. I just bought a HTC desire, it was sealed with plastic, and the storekeeper said that it was a HTC desire with warranty. For HKD 4100. I wanted to buy 2 units, one for my sister. But the store only has 1. So I went to a store next door, and the storekeeper said what I just bought must have been a 'refurbished' one. He said the normal price in HK should be around HKD4250 - HKD4300. Question is, Are there really any method to check whether this new phone I just bought isn't a refurbished one? or a second hand sold as a new unit ? seeing me as a foreigner, they would think I am easier to trick.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have made an app that sets notifications in the drop-down status bar of Android phones. However, there is a bug in my code (sometimes the notifications are set, sometimes they are not). I want to be able TO CHECK (in the code) IF THE NOTIFICATION IS VISIBLE TO THE USER. (i.e. can the user see the notification in the status bar?).
How can I do this?
When an Android phone receives a call it automatically checks if the call exists in its own contact database. I was wondering if there is a simple way to access that information. I have a PhoneStateListener that performs certain actions during a ringing state, and I want to check if the incoming caller is in the contacts list.
Is there a way to do this without going through the Contacts ContentProvider?
