I have this code:
ConnectivityManager connMgr = (ConnectivityManager)
context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo networkInfoWifi =
connMgr.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI);
NetworkInfo networkInfoMobileData =
connMgr.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE);
And then in my Android network settings, both Mobile Data and WiFi are enabled. The following checks are
networkInfoWifi.isConnected(); // results to TRUE
networkInfoMobileData.isConnected(); // results to FALSE
My app runs on Android Lollipop. I expect that both checks above should return TRUE. Why is this happening? I need them to be both TRUE. What should I do?
I never found a way to make the networkInfoWifi.isConnected()
and
networkInfoMobileData.isConnected()
to return both TRUE. This is probably because Android can only be connected to only one interface at a time.
This interface selection is also done by Android automatically starting Lollipop devices. Android Lollipop defaults to Mobile Data when Wi-Fi has not Internet access?
