Yeah, well, it might not have been on my primary home screen page. :-) > According to my sources > > ( > 4.0.1/packages/apps/Settings/src/com/android/settings/wifi/AdvancedWifiSettings.java > ) IMHO, the SwitchPreference where tapping on the preference *also* launches a nested PreferenceScreen is lousy UX. I keep forgetting there are options under the WiFi one, until I'm trying to connect to some new AP and then eventually stumble upon it. And, of course, buried inside of there are the advanced settings. FWIW, the Galaxy Nexus default seems to be always-on -- I toggled mine back to only-when-plugged-in. > the policy is stored under: > > http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings.System.html#WIFI_SLEEP_POLICY Ah, OK, that's what I was looking for. > From an application's point of view, though, it's just same old > ConnectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo - the connection is either there > and it's WiFi, or it's not. Well, the decision on whether to use a WifiLock would be based in part on WIFI_SLEEP_POLICY -- if WIFI_SLEEP_POLICY is WIFI_SLEEP_POLICY_NEVER, you do not need the WifiLock. That was the point behind your original post on this thread IIRC.
