getUidRxBytes() and getUidTxBytes() always return 0 in Android 4.3

Question

I feel like I am on crazy pills right now. A specific part of my application has been working just fine for several days, and today it just stopped working and I can not fi

Answer 1

I have reported the issue to the AOSP issue tracker: here

I have also created an alternate solution to the problem which I have pasted below:

private Long getTotalBytesManual(int localUid){

File dir = new File("/proc/uid_stat/");
String[] children = dir.list();
if(!Arrays.asList(children).contains(String.valueOf(localUid))){
    return 0L;
}
File uidFileDir = new File("/proc/uid_stat/"+String.valueOf(localUid));
File uidActualFileReceived = new File(uidFileDir,"tcp_rcv");
File uidActualFileSent = new File(uidFileDir,"tcp_snd");

 String textReceived = "0";
 String textSent = "0";

 try {
        BufferedReader brReceived = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(uidActualFileReceived));
        BufferedReader brSent = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(uidActualFileSent));
        String receivedLine;
        String sentLine;

        if ((receivedLine = brReceived.readLine()) != null) {
            textReceived = receivedLine;
        }
        if ((sentLine = brSent.readLine()) != null) {
            textSent = sentLine;
        }

    }
    catch (IOException e) {

    }
 return Long.valueOf(textReceived).longValue() + Long.valueOf(textReceived).longValue();

}
