I'm trying to identify the type of cellular connection. I've used different methods, like for example the one suggested here, but I keep getting 4G as a result, on a Samsung with Android 10 and 5G connection. How is it possible to read the correct network type?
private fun getNetworkType(telephonyManager: TelephonyManager): String {
return when (telephonyManager.networkType) {
TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_UNKNOWN -> "unknown"
TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_GPRS,
TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_EDGE,
TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_CDMA,
TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_1xRTT,
TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_IDEN,
TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_GSM -> "2G"
TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_UMTS,
TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_EVDO_0,
TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_EVDO_A,
TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_HSDPA,
TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_HSUPA,
TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_HSPA,
TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_EVDO_B,
TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_EHRPD,
TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_HSPAP,
TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_TD_SCDMA -> "3G"
TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_LTE,
TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_IWLAN -> "4G"
TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_NR -> "5G"
else -> "something else"
}
}
private fun getRadioTechnology(telephonyManager: TelephonyManager): String {
try {
val obj = Class.forName(telephonyManager.javaClass.name)
.getDeclaredMethod("getServiceState", *arrayOfNulls(0)).invoke(telephonyManager, *arrayOfNulls(0))
val methods: Array<Method> = Class.forName(obj.javaClass.name).declaredMethods
for (method in methods) {
if (method.name == "getRadioTechnology" ) {
method.isAccessible = true
val radioTechnology = (method.invoke(obj) as Int).toInt()
return "$radioTechnology"
}
}
} catch (e: Exception) {
Log.e("Test5G", "", e)
}
return ""
}
@SuppressLint("MissingPermission")
fun getActiveSubscriptionInfoList(): String {
val subscriptionInfos = SubscriptionManager.from(this).activeSubscriptionInfoList
var ret: String = ""
for(sub in subscriptionInfos) {
val id = sub.subscriptionId
val telephonyManager = telephonyManager.createForSubscriptionId(id);
ret += getRadioTechnology(telephonyManager)
}
return ret
}
This is how I did it:
telephonyManager.listen(object : PhoneStateListener() {
override fun onServiceStateChanged(serviceState: ServiceState) {
val isNrAvailable = serviceState.toString().isNrAvailable()
// use isNrAvailable
}
}, PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_SERVICE_STATE)
Where
fun String.isNrAvailable() =
contains("nrState=CONNECTED") ||
contains("nsaState=5"))
