With the first bit, you are requesting a WifiManager, and are casting
it to a ConnectivityManager - if you want one of those, specify
Android.Content.Context.ConnectivityService
The second one, I'm not sure why you'd get a typecast problem
Code as below I'd expect to work, however I can't test it thanks to
being unable to successfully require the ACCESS_WIFI_STATE and
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permissions (as per other message in this list).
Covers wifi and mobile in the first case, just wifi in the second.
private string GetNetStateDescription(bool mobile)
{
ConnectivityManager connectivityManager =
(ConnectivityManager)GetSystemService(Android.Content.Context.ConnectivityService);
//Requires ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE and ACCESS_WIFI_STATE to avoid
security exception
NetworkInfo networkInfo =
connectivityManager.GetNetworkInfo(mobile ?
Android.Net.ConnectivityType.Mobile :
Android.Net.ConnectivityType.Wifi);
if (networkInfo.IsConnected)
return "Connected";
else if (networkInfo.IsConnectedOrConnecting)
return "Connecting";
else
return "Disconnected";
}
private string GetWiFiStateDescription()
{
//Requires ACCESS_WIFI_STATE permission to avoid security exception
WifiManager wifiManager =
(WifiManager)GetSystemService(Android.Content.Context.WifiService);
switch (wifiManager.WifiState)
{
case WifiState.Disabled:
return "Disabled";
case WifiState.Disabling:
return "Disabling";
case WifiState.Enabled:
return "Enabled";
case WifiState.Enabling:
return "Enabling";
default:
return "Unknown";
}
}
