Hi Mark, Thanks for your inputs. I have found another method in the meantime. We can set the APN's through code and get our device to use our chosen proxy. And one doesn't need root permissions to do that until Android ICS. What I want now is, to be notified when the user creates a new APN through the GUI so that I could update my list. Is there any hook which we can use or notification generated when a new APN is manually added through the GUI?
Or is there a better way to set the proxy regardless of having root permissions or not. I would appreciate anyone who could help me out on this topic.
