Hi, I am working with an application that has similar needs to as to the original author of this thread. I have been able to get WiFi/3G running using some native code (requires a rooted phone), but would rather like to do it through Java if it is possible. I have gotten so far as to activating

Hi Kostya, I meant if I am connected to wifi, how to make sure other apps requiring network access will only connect to the wifi I am connected to and do not use the 3G network? My app will only ensure I am connected to the wifi but can it control the network system of the Android system?

I am just wondering. Is it possible to make all data connection to a particular network only? Meaning even if 3G will be available it will only connect to a particular network for all data related processing. Regards, Perumal On Oct 15, 9:34 pm, Jens dunkingbikk...@gmail.com wrote: Afaik -

If by particular network you mean WiFi vs. cellular, then yes. You can monitor WiFi state, and just not do any networking while it's not active... Notifying the user that your app is doing this might be a good idea, too - so he can take the phone in hand and run towards the nearest WiFi

Indeed but imagine a case where you have two options (after spending quite a lot of resources on a project already): a) Don't release your software at all. b) Release your app and use hidden constants( that do work on current devices) but risk with the fact that your application will break in

Thanks, Mark. That's what I thought the situation was (and I also am holding out some hope that it is fixed in 2.2 as a result of the WiFi hotspot capabilities)... IMHO, it's a big flaw in the networking model in Android and greatly limits some of the potential applications for the platform.
