Thanks for your response, Kumar. It appears that getNetworkInfo and getActiveNetworkInfo achieve the same result (at least that's what it looks like from what I can see). I'm using getActiveNetworkInfo in my snippet below.
I'm more interested in the mobile sub-types (EDGE, HSDPA, etc) than the types (Mobile or WIFI). I.e. what would I get for the subtype on AT&T's or Vodafone's network? I am assuming that these values would differ per carriers (again - big assumption :) That's why I was asking if there was a resource somewhere where I might find the possible values that could be returned on a per-carrier basis :-) On Wed, Nov 17, 2010 at 1:49 AM, Kumar Bibek <[email protected]> wrote: > The Commectivity Manager has a method called getNetworkInfo which will give > you a list of different types of networks and their current state.
