Android Question enforce device to use mobile-data only

[Mostez]

for security reasons I want to enforce the device to use mobile-data only (while running the application), for SQL server dbase read/write. Is it just simple to check if wi-fi is ON and then prevent user access? or is there better solution?

TIA

I don't see how it adds any security. The correct thing to do is to use jRDC2 over SSL.

Given that Public/Free WiFi can be insecure (Man-in-the-Middle/Evesdropping etc), there are security risks. But IMO using a VPN is a better solution than simply not using WiFi.

Assuming that the server is configured properly, the data is secure, even in public wifis. Only the client and server can decrypt the data.

'configured properly' does it mean that 'there is something to do more than default config!'? would you please give a hint what should I do then, I just have SQL server 2012 already installed.

I don't know anything about your configuration so can't really say.

If you are connecting to the database server directly then your solution is insecure.
