How does one detect whether a network is a Mobile AP connection? The application: need to decide whether to do local network SSDP discovery via network broadcasts.
For a straight wifi connection, you use WifiManager. But when the Mobile AP is enabled, WifiManager says that the current connection is not Wifi. I've tried using NetworkManager.getCurrentNetworkInfo, and networkManager.getAllNetworkInfo. No joy. NetworkManager says the current active connection is Mobile, and none of the other connections in getAllNetworkInfo() are active. The only real distinction seems to be that the default IP address for the phone is on 192.168.*, instead of 10.* (my service provider seems to NAT the phone address to 10.). Obviously, checking for private range addresses is not good enough (since the 3G connection has a private-range 10.* address); and since public wireless APs can use 10.* or 192.168.*. Any pointers appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
