Android Question How do I know if the phone has LTE?

[grafsoft]

Before uploads or downloads, I want to know if the speed of data transfer is enough. I know if I have WIFI, but I need to know more. The Phonestatelistener library only reacts to changes, is of no use here. OK, I could download 1 KB and measure the time needed, but is there a better way?

Thank you, but that does not work for me. I will do a simple download test myself.

I think you can mesure it and it can change 30 seconds later or even less! I have an APP doing heavy transfer. I have solved using FTP, it works all the times. You start and if in a certain amount of time the transfer is not over you can cancel it. The transfer is asyncronous so you have full control over the process.
