TrafficStats

public class TrafficStats
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.net.TrafficStats


Class that provides network traffic statistics. These statistics include bytes transmitted and received and network packets transmitted and received, over all interfaces, over the mobile interface, and on a per-UID basis.

These statistics may not be available on all platforms. If the statistics are not supported by this device, UNSUPPORTED will be returned.

Note that the statistics returned by this class reset and start from zero after every reboot. To access more robust historical network statistics data, use NetworkStatsManager instead.

Summary

Remove any statistics parameters from the given Socket.

In Android 8.1 (API level 27) and lower, a socket is automatically untagged when it's sent to another process using binder IPC with a ParcelFileDescriptor container. In Android 9.0 (API level 28) and higher, the socket tag is kept when the socket is sent to another process using binder IPC. You can mimic the previous behavior by calling untagSocket() before sending the socket to another process.

Parameters
socket Socket: This value cannot be null.

Throws
SocketException
