Network ON/OFF

[schnibli]

Hello,

Is it possible to turn on/off the data Network?


Edge ON/OFF
HSPA ON/OFF
GPRS ON/OFF

all networks individually turn on / off

You should try the Toggle library.

But With Toggle library it is not working , Please help me to turn on GPRS Programatically

In other words you would like to put the datamode of the device from 3g mode into 2g mode. I would love that too, but I am afraid it is not possible to do that programatically. The apps I found on the playstore all just link to the settings but do not switch by themselves. I would love that functionality too, because in one of my apps I need slow but stable connection.

There is no simple or reliable solution for programmatically disabling the mobile data connection.

...and I guess no way to programaticly switch between 2g and 3g. Thanks for the info, Erel.

Switching on GPRS with Android 2.3.6 Build is working is fine (Toggle Library) but not with Android 4.1.1 , Is there any one help me to make it work on this .

 

[Shameem]

I just want to switch on GPRS if it is in OFF

You can use this code with Android 2.3+:

Sub SetMobileData(Enabled As Boolean)
   Dim r As Reflector
   r.Target = r.GetContext
   r.Target = r.RunMethod2("getSystemService", "connectivity", "java.lang.String")
   r.Target = r.GetField("mService")
   r.RunMethod2("setMobileDataEnabled", Enabled, "java.lang.boolean")
End Sub

In the manifest editor you should add:

AddPermission(android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE)

It is based on this solution: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...a-connection-in-android-programmatically?rq=1

Very interesting. Would there be also a way to set specifically to 2g or 3g mode?

Rolf

 

[Erel]

Seems like it is not possible. Note that the above code is also based on a hidden API, which means that it can be broken in the future.

 

[rbsoft]

Too bad. Thank you.

Was just checking this thread on StackOverflow. Mentions a subtype that holds that informtion about the connection type.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14520584/check-2g-network

        // Check we're on GPRS or EDGE
        final int subType = network.getSubtype();
        return subType == TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_EDGE
                || subType == TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_GPRS;

Since there is a function network.getSubtype() could it be that there is also a function network.setSubtype()?

Hi Erel It works fine with Android 4.0.4 but I am getting Permission Denial Error for WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS , in Version 4.1.1 . , I have added permission also for write_Secure_settings too, Please suggest me a way.

Not sure why it doesn't work for you. This is the problem with non-standard APIs. It works fine with Nexus 4 (Android 4.3).
