RESTRICT_BACKGROUND_STATUS_DISABLED

int RESTRICT_BACKGROUND_STATUS_DISABLED

Device is not restricting metered network activity while application is running on background.

Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)

RESTRICT_BACKGROUND_STATUS_ENABLED

int RESTRICT_BACKGROUND_STATUS_ENABLED

Device is restricting metered network activity while application is running on background.

In this state, application should not try to use the network while running on background, because it would be denied.

Constant Value: 3 (0x00000003)

RESTRICT_BACKGROUND_STATUS_WHITELISTED

int RESTRICT_BACKGROUND_STATUS_WHITELISTED

Device is restricting metered network activity while application is running on background, but application is allowed to bypass it.

In this state, application should take action to mitigate metered network access. For example, a music streaming application should switch to a low-bandwidth bitrate.

Constant Value: 2 (0x00000002)

getNetworkInfoFromBroadcast

NetworkInfo getNetworkInfoFromBroadcast (ConnectivityManager cm, 
                Intent intent)

Return the NetworkInfo that caused the given CONNECTIVITY_ACTION broadcast. This obtains the current state from ConnectivityManager instead of using the potentially-stale value from EXTRA_NETWORK_INFO. May be null.

Requires the ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permission.

getRestrictBackgroundStatus

int getRestrictBackgroundStatus (ConnectivityManager cm)

Determines if the calling application is subject to metered network restrictions while running on background.

isActiveNetworkMetered

boolean isActiveNetworkMetered (ConnectivityManager cm)

Returns if the currently active data network is metered. A network is classified as metered when the user is sensitive to heavy data usage on that connection due to monetary costs, data limitations or battery/performance issues. You should check this before doing large data transfers, and warn the user or delay the operation until another network is available.

This method requires the caller to hold the permission ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE.

Requires the ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permission.
