Android检查低连接模式Wifi或数据网络

Question

I have read quite alot of posts on Checking internet connection. But my problem is how do I detect limited and/or low connectivity? Pinging google.com continously is not the answer. A possible solution is keep on checking RSSI Strength and if the value goes higher then lets say -70 then we check for connection.

Has anyone a better solution as how to detect limited connectivity?

Answer 1

You can take a look at Determining and Monitoring the Connectivity Status . There is an example how to determine the internet connection and how to determine the type of a connection.

You could also take a look at android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE broadcasts.

Answer 2

I have looked for an answer to this on one of my projects rather extensively. All that I could suggest is to ping google and then get the response time. You could create your own method of comparison like, response >= 500ms = slow connection.

You could also detect whether or not the device is on 2G/3G and depending on what you consider slow.

Lastly, if you can check if the wifi connection speed using the following: (I haven't used this myself)

WifiInfo wifiInfo = wifiManger.getConnectionInfo();
int mbps = wifiInfo.getLinkSpeed();

I really hope that helps mate, happy coding.
