Android Question Is Web Service Server Alive

[Mark Stuart]

I'd like to check if the Android device is connected with a cable, to a computer network.
It should most likely detect if a cable was connected, or periodically (with a timer?) check with a ping to the web server host computer.
Or the check could be done at the time of the user doing something, such as pressing a button.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanx,
Mark S.

If the device is not connected to another network through the wireless adapter then you can check ServerSocket.GetMyIp. If it is different than 127.0.0.1 then the device is connected to a network.
