android-internet

Is there any background task which runs with in application to check for internet connectivity for below scenarios as common ? 1.Start of parsing/fetching data from server 2.In between of parsing/fetching from server Any sample code or links helps me a lot. You can start an IntentService or Service and use this: public boolean CheckInternet() { ConnectivityManager connec = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE); android.net.NetworkInfo wifi = connec.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI); android.net.NetworkInfo mobile = connec.getNetworkInfo

I'm developing an android application and I want to get a notification when the internet (wifi or packet data connection) connection is lost. On my approach I can get the status of the connection as: private boolean isNetworkAvailable() { ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE); NetworkInfo activeNetworkInfo = connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo(); return activeNetworkInfo != null && activeNetworkInfo.isConnected(); } while having this in the Manifest: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK

I have the following code in my app... Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime(); Process process = runtime.exec("/system/bin/ping -c 1 8.8.8.8"); return process.waitFor(); ... and I'm seeing that it works (returns 0) on some devices (e.g. Motorola G) but doesn't work (returns 2) on other devices (e.g. Galaxy S3). I've checked the Galaxy S3 device and it definitely has a "/system/bin/ping" file and of course I've made sure that it is indeed connected to the internet. Anyone have any ideas why the command might not work on some devices... and what I can do to get it to work? JTY The way ping is

I'm new to Android development and working on an Android application that requires the phone to be connected to the internet, through either Wifi, EDGE or 3G. This is the code that I'm using to check whether an internet connection is available public static boolean isConnected() { ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE); return cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnectedOrConnecting(); } I've also set these permissions in the manifest file <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <uses-permission android:name="android
