Android BasicNetworking Sample

This sample demonstrates how to check network connectivity with Android APIs.

Introduction

It utilizes the ConnectivityManager to determine if you have a network connection, and if so, what type of connection it is.

A NetworkInfo object is retrieved from the ConnectivityManager, which contains information on the active connection, and then the connection type is printed to an on-screen console.

Multiple types of connectivity can be displayed and could be used to take different measures in actual production code.

Pre-requisites

  • Android SDK 26
  • Android Build Tools v26.0.1
