Android :: Checking For Network Connectivity?

Oct 6, 2010

I have an IntentService which makes some web service calls. Before making these calls I check to make sure the device has network connectivity.

I am doing so like this:

CODE:.............

Unfortunately, when I'm debugging on my Android device, this returns false when I have both a network and a wireless connection.

Some interesting tidbits about connec.getNetworkInfo(0):

CODE:...................

Clearly this code is not sufficient (perhaps it would only return true if I sent some bit over the network and turned the radio on?). Moreover, since I'm not well versed in the ConnectivityManager, I'm assuming I should probably be scanning all networks (ie: getNetworkInfo(0 through N)).

Android :: Network Connectivity Checking Without Wakelock

Mar 26, 2010

I have a terrible bug in my widget. The widget is waken up using an AlarmManager (the update interval is chosen by users, ranging from 30 mins to 2 hours) to grab some data from the Internet and display it on the widget. I do not hold a wakelock since if the phone sleeps, just let it sleeps. There's no way to update the information since nobody will see it. If I put the phone in the basement (has no wi-fi or cell signal) for about an hour. the phone will definitely not update anything. However, when I get it back from the basement, the cell network could never be recovered again no matter how long I have waited (it just get an X on the cell signal icon on the notification bar) that I must restart the phone. May I know if a partial wake lock must be held on checking network availability?

Find the code skeleton as below:

CODE:.................

Android :: Network Connectivity In Java

I have a simple java code which gets html text from the input url:

I am using this code in an android project. Now the problem comes when there is no internet connectivity. The application just halts and later gives error. Is there some way to break this after some fixed timeout, or even return some specific string after an exception is thrown.

Android :: No Network Connectivity In Service/AlarmManager Process

Mar 24, 2010

I have a Service/AlarmManager set to go off ever hour; as seen at: http://github.com/commonsguy/cw-advandroid/tree/master/SystemServices...

The Alarm triggers a Socket connection to communicate with a Web Server. I'm logging the interaction to a file so I can see it later. When I leave the phone on my desk for a day, it seems that more often than not I get a "Network unreachable" error when trying to do any networking.

I believe it is related to how deeply the phone goes into sleep. Is there a special kind of lock I have to hold, or some command required to prep the wireless radio so that it can be ready to access the Internet?

HTC Incredible :: No Network Internet Connectivity

Apr 29, 2010

So I dropped AT&T for the Incredible and my number successfully ported over, but I cannot connect to the Internet.I can make/receive calls and SMS, but no Internet besides wifi.I've been on with vzw support and went through reactivating the phone (*228) and a couple hard reset to no avail.They said it could have something to do with porting from AT&T, but I'm not understanding that connection.I don't have too much faith in support figuring out so I'm trying this forum. Does anyone have a clue how to resolve this or is it a defect with the phone.Some details: there is no 3G symbol near the signal status bars.Settings/Wireless & networks: shows "Mobile Network" with a green check, buts its grayed out so no action can be taken on it.Directly underneath "Mobile Network" it says "Turning on..." and it seems to flash that status every once in a while.

Samsung Epic 4G :: No Internet Connectivity / Network Settings

Nov 14, 2010

My Epic 4G just lost all connection to the internet about an hour ago. Out of the blue, so to speak. I was browsing, set it down, then when I used it again it wouldn't connect. My browser, facebook, and any other connection required apps throw error messages saying - "connection error", "no connection". I've reset the phone several times, and as far as for the network settings, everything looks set the way it always is. I have done nothing to the network settings/options to have accidentally messed it up myself. I am connected via 3G, and this network problem is new to me. This phone has been nothing but constant problems and this is the newest one in a long list.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 :: WiFi Connectivity Setup / Phone Cannot Find Network

Aug 11, 2010

I bought my Xperia x10 mini yesterday, and one of the first things I did was to set it up for WiFi in my house (which I already have 2 laptops and a stationary PC connected to). Setting it up was easy and quick, but my phone doesn't find the network, not even if I am standing right beside the router. I have tried to restart the WiFi connection, restart my phone, delete and re-add the home connection, but the phone still doesn't connect to the network.

The network's SSID isn't broadcasted for security reasons, could this be the problem? When I search for networks, it doesn't find any 'unnamed' networks like the windows pcs do. (which is normally the one I need to connect to.) Is there something wrong with my hardware? Or my software (my phone is completely up-to-date)? (Except broadcast the SSID, which is not an option..)

Android :: Android To Open Network Connection On Specified Network Interface - Network Type

Mar 6, 2009

I have been looking at the ConnectivityManager class documented at http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManage... .

I would like to know if an Android application can open a network connection (socket) on a specified network interface [on a device supporting multiple network interface types WiFi, Cellular, WiMax etc] ? I am looking for the capability for an application to open a socket on a given type of network for example over WiFi network or over 3G Cellular Data network.

If this is possible in Android, how would I code this requirement within the API Framework ? The ConnectivityManager enables an application to learn about available network connections and currently categorises them as either TYPE_WIFI or TYPE_MOBILE.

There is a member function in the ConnectivityManager class called requestRouteToHost(int,int) [url] which "Ensure that a network route exists to deliver traffic to the specified host via the specified network interface. An attempt to add a route that already exists is ignored, but treated as successful." Sounds like this would install an IP routing table entry to reach a given host via a specified network interface type (WiFi or Mobile). After calling this would it be sufficient for an application to open a socket and connect to the desired destination address ?

Or perhaps the application needs to bind() a socket to a local address of a network interface of the desired type (WiFi or Mobile) Or by setting a socket-level socket option of SO_DONTROUTE ?

Currently, to initialize data for the first time (not repeatedly), we try of open the db and if it fails we know the database does not exists otherwise it is already created and initialized.

Is there any simple API available to check whether DB exists or not ?

Android :: Checking If New SMS Has Been Read

Android :: Checking How A Program Was Installed

Mar 20, 2009

Is there a way to programmatically without root check and see how a program was installed?

The only solution I've been able to find is using root - and tapping into a database that the Vending application uses;

CREATE TABLE assets10(_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, content_uri TEXT, s tate TEXT, download_pending_time INTEGER, download_start_time INTEGER, install_t ime INTEGER, uninstall_time INTEGER, size INTEGER, type TEXT, package_name TEXT, is_forward_locked TEXT, signature TEXT, refund_timeout INTEGER, version_code IN TEGER, server_string_id TEXT UNIQUE);

Most specifically I can check to this database using my package name and/or signature and see if it's ever been installed by the market. Then if it has you could check to see if it's been uninstalled.

As for background, I'm just messing around with ways to distinguish real users from pirated versions. I've noticed from an application I've posted that I only have approximately 100 downloads and 50% active, yet my server which is used by the application shows approximately 200ish unique users within the past few days.

Android :: Wi-Fi Connectivity With 1.6

Oct 28, 2009

My application has some code which detects if the Android device is connected to a Wi-Fi or Mobile network.

The code appeared to be working fine for Andoid 1.5, but does not seem to work correctly for Andorid 1.6.

Here is the code I am using:

CODE:..........................

Under Android 1.5 this code would correctly detect if the current connectivity was Wi-Fi or Mobile. However under Android 1.6 the call to getActiveNetworkInfo seems to always return a networkInfo instance with the type set to TYPE_MOBILE. This is happening even though the icons in the bar at the top of the android screen show the Wi-Fi connected icon with the full signal strength bars showing.

I don't know if this means that under Android 1.6 it is actually using the phone data network for connectivity instead of the Wi-Fi connectivity when both networks are available, or if the getActiveNetworkInfo call is just returning the wrong information for Android 1.6.

Has anyone else seen this issue with Andoid 1.6? It would be too bad if 1.6 is really using the bandwidth on the phone data network instead of the Wi-Fi network when both networks are present. Does anyone know if there is a different way to correctly detect if the Android device has Wi-Fi connectivity?

Android :: Preparing SD Card - Checking For Errors

Sep 7, 2010

Since I got my 16 GB Card it's started saying it for longer than with my 2GB Card, however it says it less now. Does how long it takes depend on how much data you put on since taking it out of USB Mode? Because when I first got this card I wrote a lot to it (Moving all my files over), but now I just put a few files here and there on... Is there a way to disable this and let you run it manually at your leisure?

Android :: CheckBox With Right-aligned Checking Button/box?

Feb 14, 2010

I am fairly new to Android (find it most fun, btw) and I was wondering...

How can I create an Android CheckBox with the label to the left and the checking button/box aligned to the right (pretty much a switch of the way this widget is drawn by default)? Like the way a checkbox preference normally looks like...

I am looking for the most elegant/short-coded version possible, if there is one. I mean other than creating your own View/ViewGroup with layouts, empty-labeled CheckBoxes and TextViews, etc...

Android :: Connectivity On H In Status Bar / Now On G Or 3G

Apr 29, 2010

I am with first Droid phone. I have had an HTC Desire for approximately 1 week and absolutely love it. When I first got the phone, the connectivity was always H in the status bar, with very good I-net speed. For some reason, unbeknown to me, it is now a G, sometimes a 3G. The speed is still quite good though. This 'change' would appear to have been since I received a text from T-Mobile (I'm aware of the 'G' issues on their forums) alongwith the lines. They hoped I liked their new webpage. Now they have reverted to the original webpage I may have to re-load my favorites. I have not had to do this, thankfully. Under Wireless & Networks, WiFi is off, as I am on an 'unlimited' 3GB plan, and I am using GSM/WCDMA auto under Preferred network mode.

Questions: -
1. What is the difference between the three, namely H, 3G and G?
2. Which is quicker?
2. Can I change it back to H, if I wanted, as I believe it was quicker?
4. Sometimes, although not very often, the G, 3G and H disappear altogether and I am left with no connectivity at all. However, if I try to access the I-net, I can, and either the G, 3G or H appear again miraculously. Is there a particular reason for this?
Hope to hear from you experts soon and apologies for such basic questions, as I'm still getting used to using a droid. My last phone was a Nokia N95 2GB. Huge difference!

Bluetooth Connectivity And Android?

Aug 21, 2013

We are developing an Android application that uses bluetooth to connect to a board that we developed. If we try to connect to the board after the system has been off for a while, the system connects correctly and begins to stream data. The data stream will freeze momentarily, then start, then freeze, then shut off after about 6 - 8 seconds. If we try again it will repeat this process. It is almost like the Android is checking to see if it is an ok device to connect with, and decides no for some reason.

The only way we have been able to then connect again is to un-pair and then re-pair the tablet to the board. After we unpair and re-pair, the connection works well and will continue to work well until we turn the tablet off.
