Android Question Capturing when WiFi connects/disconnects

[Graeme Tacon]

Hi,

Is there way to capture when a WiFi connection is made or disconnection happens (similar to capturing droid.bluetooth.device.action.ACL_CONNECTED) for bluetooth.

Thanks
Graeme

You can listen to the ConnectivityChanged event with PhoneEvents (or with a static intent filter: android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE).

In my case, I took advantage of a timer already present in my app for handling other stuff and inside the timer_tick I've done

 Dim server As ServerSocket
 
Try
      server.Initialize(0, "")

    If server.GetMyWifiIP<>"127.0.0.1" Then
        ' WIFI is ON, place here the code you want
    else
        ' WIFI is OFF, place here the code you want
    End If   
Catch

Basicly if server.GetMyWifiIP equals 127.0.0.1 then we are not connected and we are localhost, if it is different then we are connected to a WiFi Network. Please note that we can be connected to a WiFi network but we may not have Internet Access. That situation should be adressed also.

Great, thanks guys, that has done the trick.
