*** ** * ** ***
Class that answers queries about the state of network connectivity. It also notifies applications when network connectivity changes.
The primary responsibilities of this class are to:
1. Monitor network connections (Wi-Fi, GPRS, UMTS, etc.)
2. Send broadcast intents when network connectivity changes
3. Attempt to "fail over" to another network when connectivity to a network is lost
4. Provide an API that allows applications to query the coarse-grained or fine-grained state of the available networks
5. Provide an API that allows applications to request and select networks for their data traffic
## Summary
| ### Nested classes ||
|---|---|
| ` class` | `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback` Base class for `NetworkRequest` callbacks. |
| ` interface` | `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.OnNetworkActiveListener` Callback for use with `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#addDefaultNetworkActiveListener(android.net.ConnectivityManager.OnNetworkActiveListener)` to find out when the system default network has gone in to a high power state. |

## Constants
### ACTION_BACKGROUND_DATA_SETTING_CHANGED
Added in [API level 3](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
Deprecated in [API level 16](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static final String ACTION_BACKGROUND_DATA_SETTING_CHANGED
```
**This constant was deprecated in API level 16.**
As of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES#ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH`, availability of background data depends on several combined factors, and this broadcast is no longer sent. Instead, when background data is unavailable, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#getActiveNetworkInfo()` will now appear disconnected. During first boot after a platform upgrade, this broadcast will be sent once if `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#getBackgroundDataSetting()` was `false` before the upgrade.
Broadcast Action: The setting for background data usage has changed values. Use `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#getBackgroundDataSetting()` to get the current value.
If an application uses the network in the background, it should listen for this broadcast and stop using the background data if the value is `false`.
Constant Value: "android.net.conn.BACKGROUND_DATA_SETTING_CHANGED"
### ACTION_CAPTIVE_PORTAL_SIGN_IN
Added in [API level 23](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static final String ACTION_CAPTIVE_PORTAL_SIGN_IN
```
The device has connected to a network that has presented a captive portal, which is blocking Internet connectivity. The user was presented with a notification that network sign in is required, and the user invoked the notification's action indicating they desire to sign in to the network. Apps handling this activity should facilitate signing in to the network. This action includes a `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Network` typed extra called `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#EXTRA_NETWORK` that represents the network presenting the captive portal; all communication with the captive portal must be done using this `Network` object.
This activity includes a `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/CaptivePortal` extra named `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#EXTRA_CAPTIVE_PORTAL` that can be used to indicate different outcomes of the captive portal sign in to the system:
- When the app handling this action believes the user has signed in to the network and the captive portal has been dismissed, the app should call `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/CaptivePortal#reportCaptivePortalDismissed()` so the system can reevaluate the network. If reevaluation finds the network no longer subject to a captive portal, the network may become the default active data network.
- When the app handling this action believes the user explicitly wants to ignore the captive portal and the network, the app should call `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/CaptivePortal#ignoreNetwork()`.
Constant Value: "android.net.conn.CAPTIVE_PORTAL"
### ACTION_RESTRICT_BACKGROUND_CHANGED
Added in [API level 24](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static final String ACTION_RESTRICT_BACKGROUND_CHANGED
```
A change in the background metered network activity restriction has occurred.
Applications should call `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#getRestrictBackgroundStatus()` to check if the restriction applies to them.
This is only sent to registered receivers, not manifest receivers.
Constant Value: "android.net.conn.RESTRICT_BACKGROUND_CHANGED"
### CONNECTIVITY_ACTION
Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
Deprecated in [API level 28](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static final String CONNECTIVITY_ACTION
```
**This constant was deprecated in API level 28.**
apps should use the more versatile `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#requestNetwork(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20android.app.PendingIntent)`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#registerNetworkCallback(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20android.app.PendingIntent)` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#registerDefaultNetworkCallback(android.net.ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback)` functions instead for faster and more detailed updates about the network changes they care about.
A change in network connectivity has occurred. A default connection has either been established or lost. The NetworkInfo for the affected network is sent as an extra; it should be consulted to see what kind of connectivity event occurred.
Apps targeting Android 7.0 (API level 24) and higher do not receive this broadcast if they declare the broadcast receiver in their manifest. Apps will still receive broadcasts if they register their `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/BroadcastReceiver` with `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context#registerReceiver(android.content.BroadcastReceiver,%20android.content.IntentFilter)` and that context is still valid.
If this is a connection that was the result of failing over from a disconnected network, then the FAILOVER_CONNECTION boolean extra is set to true.
For a loss of connectivity, if the connectivity manager is attempting to connect (or has already connected) to another network, the NetworkInfo for the new network is also passed as an extra. This lets any receivers of the broadcast know that they should not necessarily tell the user that no data traffic will be possible. Instead, the receiver should expect another broadcast soon, indicating either that the failover attempt succeeded (and so there is still overall data connectivity), or that the failover attempt failed, meaning that all connectivity has been lost.
For a disconnect event, the boolean extra EXTRA_NO_CONNECTIVITY is set to `true` if there are no connected networks at all.
Note that this broadcast is deprecated and generally tries to implement backwards compatibility with older versions of Android. As such, it may not reflect new capabilities of the system, like multiple networks being connected at the same time, the details of newer technology, or changes in tethering state.
Constant Value: "android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE"
### DEFAULT_NETWORK_PREFERENCE
Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public static final int DEFAULT_NETWORK_PREFERENCE
```

### MULTIPATH_PREFERENCE_HANDOVER
Added in [API level 26](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static final int MULTIPATH_PREFERENCE_HANDOVER
```
It is acceptable to briefly use multipath data to provide seamless connectivity for time-sensitive user-facing operations when the system default network is temporarily unresponsive. The amount of data should be limited (less than one megabyte for every call to this method), and the operation should be infrequent to ensure that data usage is limited. An example of such an operation might be a time-sensitive foreground activity, such as a voice command, that the user is performing while walking out of range of a Wi-Fi network.

```
public static final int MULTIPATH_PREFERENCE_RELIABILITY
```
It is acceptable to use small amounts of multipath data on an ongoing basis to provide a backup channel for traffic that is primarily going over another network. An example might be maintaining backup connections to peers or servers for the purpose of fast fallback if the default network is temporarily unresponsive or disconnects. The traffic on backup paths should be negligible compared to the traffic on the main path.
Constant Value: 2 (0x00000002)

## Public methods
### addDefaultNetworkActiveListener
Added in [API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public void addDefaultNetworkActiveListener (ConnectivityManager.OnNetworkActiveListener l)
```
Start listening to reports when the system's default data network is active, meaning it is a good time to perform network traffic. Use `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#isDefaultNetworkActive()` to determine the current state of the system's default network after registering the listener.
If the process default network has been set with `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#bindProcessToNetwork(android.net.Network)` this function will not reflect the process's default, but the system default.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `l` | `ConnectivityManager.OnNetworkActiveListener`: The listener to be told when the network is active.
|
### bindProcessToNetwork
Added in [API level 23](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public boolean bindProcessToNetwork (Network network)
```
Binds the current process to `network`. All Sockets created in the future (and not explicitly bound via a bound SocketFactory from `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Network#getSocketFactory()`) will be bound to `network`. All host name resolutions will be limited to `network` as well. Note that if `network` ever disconnects, all Sockets created in this way will cease to work and all host name resolutions will fail. This is by design so an application doesn't accidentally use Sockets it thinks are still bound to a particular `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Network`. To clear binding pass `null` for `network`. Using individually bound Sockets created by Network.getSocketFactory().createSocket() and performing network-specific host name resolutions via `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Network#getAllByName(java.lang.String)` is preferred to calling `bindProcessToNetwork`.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `network` | `Network`: The `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Network` to bind the current process to, or `null` to clear the current binding.
|
| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `boolean` | `true` on success, `false` if the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Network` is no longer valid.
|
### createSocketKeepalive
Added in [API level 29](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public SocketKeepalive createSocketKeepalive (Network network,
IpSecManager.UdpEncapsulationSocket socket,
InetAddress source,
InetAddress destination,
Executor executor,
SocketKeepalive.Callback callback)
```
Request that keepalives be started on a IPsec NAT-T socket.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `network` | `Network`: The `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Network` the socket is on. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| `socket` | `IpSecManager.UdpEncapsulationSocket`: The socket that needs to be kept alive. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| `source` | `InetAddress`: The source address of the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/IpSecManager.UdpEncapsulationSocket`. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| `destination` | `InetAddress`: The destination address of the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/IpSecManager.UdpEncapsulationSocket`. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| `executor` | `Executor`: The executor on which callback will be invoked. The provided `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/concurrent/Executor` must run callback sequentially, otherwise the order of callbacks cannot be guaranteed. This value cannot be `null`. Callback and listener events are dispatched through this `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/concurrent/Executor`, providing an easy way to control which thread is used. To dispatch events through the main thread of your application, you can use `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context#getMainExecutor()`. Otherwise, provide an `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/concurrent/Executor` that dispatches to an appropriate thread.
|
| `callback` | `SocketKeepalive.Callback`: A `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/SocketKeepalive.Callback`. Used for notifications about keepalive changes. Must be extended by applications that use this API. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/SocketKeepalive` | A `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/SocketKeepalive` object that can be used to control the keepalive on the given socket. This value cannot be `null`.
|
### getActiveNetwork
Added in [API level 23](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public Network getActiveNetwork ()
```
Returns a `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Network` object corresponding to the currently active default data network. In the event that the current active default data network disconnects, the returned `Network` object will no longer be usable. This will return `null` when there is no default network, or when the default network is blocked.
Requires `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE`
| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Network` | a `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Network` object for the current default network or `null` if no default network is currently active or if the default network is blocked for the caller
|
### getActiveNetworkInfo
Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
Deprecated in [API level 29](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public NetworkInfo getActiveNetworkInfo ()
```
**This method was deprecated in API level 29.**
See `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkInfo`.
Returns details about the currently active default data network. When connected, this network is the default route for outgoing connections. You should always check `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkInfo#isConnected()` before initiating network traffic. This may return `null` when there is no default network. Note that if the default network is a VPN, this method will return the NetworkInfo for one of its underlying networks instead, or null if the VPN agent did not specify any. Apps interested in learning about VPNs should use `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#getNetworkInfo(android.net.Network)` instead.
Requires `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE`
| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkInfo` | a `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkInfo` object for the current default network or `null` if no default network is currently active
|
### getAllNetworkInfo
Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
Deprecated in [API level 23](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public NetworkInfo[] getAllNetworkInfo ()
```
**This method was deprecated in API level 23.**
This method does not support multiple connected networks of the same type. Use `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#getAllNetworks()` and `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#getNetworkInfo(android.net.Network)` instead.
Returns connection status information about all network types supported by the device.
Requires `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE`
| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkInfo` | an array of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkInfo` objects. Check each `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkInfo#getType()` for which type each applies. This value cannot be `null`.
|
### getAllNetworks
Added in [API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
Deprecated in [API level 31](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public Network[] getAllNetworks ()
```
**This method was deprecated in API level 31.**
This method does not provide any notification of network state changes, forcing apps to call it repeatedly. This is inefficient and prone to race conditions. Apps should use methods such as `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#registerNetworkCallback(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20android.net.ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback)` instead. Apps that desire to obtain information about networks that do not apply to them can use `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkRequest.Builder#setIncludeOtherUidNetworks(boolean)`.
Returns an array of all `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Network` currently tracked by the framework.
Requires `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE`
| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Network` | an array of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Network` objects. This value cannot be `null`.
|
### getBackgroundDataSetting
Added in [API level 3](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
Deprecated in [API level 15](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public boolean getBackgroundDataSetting ()
```
**This method was deprecated in API level 15.**
As of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES#ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH`, availability of background data depends on several combined factors, and this method will always return `true`. Instead, when background data is unavailable, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#getActiveNetworkInfo()` will now appear disconnected.
Returns the value of the setting for background data usage. If false, applications should not use the network if the application is not in the foreground. Developers should respect this setting, and check the value of this before performing any background data operations.
All applications that have background services that use the network should listen to `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#ACTION_BACKGROUND_DATA_SETTING_CHANGED`.
| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `boolean` | Whether background data usage is allowed.
|
### getBoundNetworkForProcess
Added in [API level 23](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

|
| `remote` | `InetSocketAddress`: The remote `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/net/InetSocketAddress` of a connection. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `int` | `uid` if the connection is found and the app has permission to observe it (e.g., if it is associated with the calling VPN app's VpnService tunnel) or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Process#INVALID_UID` if the connection is not found.
|
| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IllegalArgumentException` | if an unsupported protocol is requested. |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/SecurityException` | if the caller is not the active VpnService for the current user. |
### getDefaultProxy
Added in [API level 23](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public ProxyInfo getDefaultProxy ()
```
Get the current default HTTP proxy settings. If a global proxy is set it will be returned, otherwise if this process is bound to a `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Network` using `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#bindProcessToNetwork(android.net.Network)` then that `Network`'s proxy is returned, otherwise the default network's proxy is returned.
| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ProxyInfo` | the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ProxyInfo` for the current HTTP proxy, or `null` if no HTTP proxy is active.

Added in [API level 16](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public boolean isActiveNetworkMetered ()
```
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.
Requires `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE`
| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `boolean` | `true` if large transfers should be avoided, otherwise `false`.

### isDefaultNetworkActive
Added in [API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public boolean isDefaultNetworkActive ()
```
Return whether the data network is currently active. An active network means that it is currently in a high power state for performing data transmission. On some types of networks, it may be expensive to move and stay in such a state, so it is more power efficient to batch network traffic together when the radio is already in this state. This method tells you whether right now is currently a good time to initiate network traffic, as the network is already active.
| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `boolean` |
|
### isNetworkTypeValid
Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
Deprecated in [API level 23](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static boolean isNetworkTypeValid (int networkType)
```
**This method was deprecated in API level 23.**
All APIs accepting a network type are deprecated. There should be no need to validate a network type.
Tests if a given integer represents a valid network type.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `networkType` | `int`: the type to be tested
|
| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `boolean` | `true` if the type is valid, else `false`
|
### registerBestMatchingNetworkCallback
Added in [API level 31](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public void registerBestMatchingNetworkCallback (NetworkRequest request,
ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback networkCallback,
Handler handler)
```
Registers to receive notifications about the best matching network which satisfy the given `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkRequest`. The callbacks will continue to be called until either the application exits or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#unregisterNetworkCallback(android.net.ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback)` is called.
To avoid performance issues due to apps leaking callbacks, the system will limit the number of outstanding requests to 100 per app (identified by their UID), shared with `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#registerNetworkCallback(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20android.app.PendingIntent)` and its variants and `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#requestNetwork(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20android.app.PendingIntent)` as well as `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityDiagnosticsManager#registerConnectivityDiagnosticsCallback(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20java.util.concurrent.Executor,%20android.net.ConnectivityDiagnosticsManager.ConnectivityDiagnosticsCallback)`. Requesting a network with this method will count toward this limit. If this limit is exceeded, an exception will be thrown. To avoid hitting this issue and to conserve resources, make sure to unregister the callbacks with `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#unregisterNetworkCallback(android.net.ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback)`.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `request` | `NetworkRequest`: `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkRequest` describing this request. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| `networkCallback` | `ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback`: The `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback` that the system will call as suitable networks change state. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| `handler` | `Handler`: `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Handler` to specify the thread upon which the callback will be invoked. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| Throws ||
|---|---|

### registerDefaultNetworkCallback
Added in [API level 24](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public void registerDefaultNetworkCallback (ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback networkCallback)
```
Registers to receive notifications about changes in the application's default network. This may be a physical network or a virtual network, such as a VPN that applies to the application. The callbacks will continue to be called until either the application exits or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#unregisterNetworkCallback(android.net.ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback)` is called.
To avoid performance issues due to apps leaking callbacks, the system will limit the number of outstanding requests to 100 per app (identified by their UID), shared with all variants of this method, of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#requestNetwork(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20android.app.PendingIntent)` as well as `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityDiagnosticsManager#registerConnectivityDiagnosticsCallback(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20java.util.concurrent.Executor,%20android.net.ConnectivityDiagnosticsManager.ConnectivityDiagnosticsCallback)`. Requesting a network with this method will count toward this limit. If this limit is exceeded, an exception will be thrown. To avoid hitting this issue and to conserve resources, make sure to unregister the callbacks with `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#unregisterNetworkCallback(android.net.ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback)`.

### registerNetworkCallback
Added in [API level 23](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public void registerNetworkCallback (NetworkRequest request,
PendingIntent operation)
```
Registers a PendingIntent to be sent when a network is available which satisfies the given `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkRequest`. This function behaves identically to the version that takes a NetworkCallback, but instead of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback` a `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/PendingIntent` is used. This means the request may outlive the calling application and get called back when a suitable network is found.
The operation is an Intent broadcast that goes to a broadcast receiver that you registered with `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context#registerReceiver(android.content.BroadcastReceiver,%20android.content.IntentFilter)` or through the \ tag in an AndroidManifest.xml file
The operation Intent is delivered with two extras, a `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Network` typed extra called `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#EXTRA_NETWORK` and a `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkRequest` typed extra called `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#EXTRA_NETWORK_REQUEST` containing the original requests parameters.
If there is already a request for this Intent registered (with the equality of two Intents defined by `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent#filterEquals(android.content.Intent)`), then it will be removed and replaced by this one, effectively releasing the previous `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkRequest`.
The request may be released normally by calling `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#unregisterNetworkCallback(android.app.PendingIntent)`.
To avoid performance issues due to apps leaking callbacks, the system will limit the number of outstanding requests to 100 per app (identified by their UID), shared with all variants of this method, of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#requestNetwork(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20android.app.PendingIntent)` as well as `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityDiagnosticsManager#registerConnectivityDiagnosticsCallback(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20java.util.concurrent.Executor,%20android.net.ConnectivityDiagnosticsManager.ConnectivityDiagnosticsCallback)`.

```
public void reportBadNetwork (Network network)
```
**This method was deprecated in API level 23.**
Use `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#reportNetworkConnectivity(android.net.Network,%20boolean)` which allows reporting both working and non-working connectivity.
Report a problem network to the framework. This provides a hint to the system that there might be connectivity problems on this network and may cause the framework to re-evaluate network connectivity and/or switch to another network.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `network` | `Network`: The `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Network` the application was attempting to use or `null` to indicate the current default network.
|
### reportNetworkConnectivity
Added in [API level 23](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public void reportNetworkConnectivity (Network network,
boolean hasConnectivity)
```
Report to the framework whether a network has working connectivity. This provides a hint to the system that a particular network is providing working connectivity or not. In response the framework may re-evaluate the network's connectivity and might take further action thereafter.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `network` | `Network`: The `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Network` the application was attempting to use or `null` to indicate the current default network.
|
| `hasConnectivity` | `boolean`: `true` if the application was able to successfully access the Internet using `network` or `false` if not.
|
### requestBandwidthUpdate
Added in [API level 23](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public boolean requestBandwidthUpdate (Network network)
```
Requests bandwidth update for a given `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Network` and returns whether the update request is accepted by ConnectivityService. Once accepted, ConnectivityService will poll underlying network connection for updated bandwidth information. The caller will be notified via `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback` if there is an update. Notice that this method assumes that the caller has previously called `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#registerNetworkCallback(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20android.net.ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback)` to listen for network changes.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `network` | `Network`: `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Network` specifying which network you're interested. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `boolean` | `true` on success, `false` if the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Network` is no longer valid.

### requestNetwork
Added in [API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public void requestNetwork (NetworkRequest request,
ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback networkCallback)
```
Request a network to satisfy a set of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkCapabilities`.
This method will attempt to find the best network that matches the passed `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkRequest`, and to bring up one that does if none currently satisfies the criteria. The platform will evaluate which network is the best at its own discretion. Throughput, latency, cost per byte, policy, user preference and other considerations may be factored in the decision of what is considered the best network.
As long as this request is outstanding, the platform will try to maintain the best network matching this request, while always attempting to match the request to a better network if possible. If a better match is found, the platform will switch this request to the now-best network and inform the app of the newly best network by invoking `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback#onAvailable(android.net.Network)` on the provided callback. Note that the platform will not try to maintain any other network than the best one currently matching the request: a network not matching any network request may be disconnected at any time.
For example, an application could use this method to obtain a connected cellular network even if the device currently has a data connection over Ethernet. This may cause the cellular radio to consume additional power. Or, an application could inform the system that it wants a network supporting sending MMSes and have the system let it know about the currently best MMS-supporting network through the provided `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback`.
The status of the request can be followed by listening to the various callbacks described in `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback`. The `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Network` object passed to the callback methods can be used to direct traffic to the network (although accessing some networks may be subject to holding specific permissions). Callers will learn about the specific characteristics of the network through `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback#onCapabilitiesChanged(android.net.Network,%20android.net.NetworkCapabilities)` and `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback#onLinkPropertiesChanged(android.net.Network,%20android.net.LinkProperties)`. The methods of the provided `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback` will only be invoked due to changes in the best network matching the request at any given time; therefore when a better network matching the request becomes available, the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback#onAvailable(android.net.Network)` method is called with the new network after which no further updates are given about the previously-best network, unless it becomes the best again at some later time. All callbacks are invoked in order on the same thread, which by default is a thread created by the framework running in the app. See `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#requestNetwork(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20android.net.ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback,%20android.os.Handler)` to change where the callbacks are invoked.
This`https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkRequest` will live until released via `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#unregisterNetworkCallback(android.net.ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback)` or the calling application exits, at which point the system may let go of the network at any time.
A version of this method which takes a timeout is `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#requestNetwork(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20android.net.ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback,%20int)`, that an app can use to only wait for a limited amount of time for the network to become unavailable.
It is presently unsupported to request a network with mutable `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkCapabilities` such as `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkCapabilities#NET_CAPABILITY_VALIDATED` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkCapabilities#NET_CAPABILITY_CAPTIVE_PORTAL` as these `NetworkCapabilities` represent states that a particular network may never attain, and whether a network will attain these states is unknown prior to bringing up the network so the framework does not know how to go about satisfying a request with these capabilities.
This method requires the caller to hold either the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE` permission or the ability to modify system settings as determined by `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings.System#canWrite(android.content.Context)`.
To avoid performance issues due to apps leaking callbacks, the system will limit the number of outstanding requests to 100 per app (identified by their UID), shared with all variants of this method, of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#registerNetworkCallback(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20android.app.PendingIntent)` as well as `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityDiagnosticsManager#registerConnectivityDiagnosticsCallback(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20java.util.concurrent.Executor,%20android.net.ConnectivityDiagnosticsManager.ConnectivityDiagnosticsCallback)`. Requesting a network with this method will count toward this limit. If this limit is exceeded, an exception will be thrown. To avoid hitting this issue and to conserve resources, make sure to unregister the callbacks with `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#unregisterNetworkCallback(android.net.ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback)`.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `request` | `NetworkRequest`: `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkRequest` describing this request. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| `networkCallback` | `ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback`: The `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback` to be utilized for this request. Note the callback must not be shared - it uniquely specifies this request. The callback is invoked on the default internal Handler. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IllegalArgumentException` | if `request` contains invalid network capabilities. |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/RuntimeException` | if the app already has too many callbacks registered. |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/SecurityException` | if missing the appropriate permissions. |
### requestNetwork
Added in [API level 26](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public void requestNetwork (NetworkRequest request,
ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback networkCallback,
int timeoutMs)
```
Request a network to satisfy a set of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkCapabilities`, limited by a timeout. This function behaves identically to the non-timed-out version `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#requestNetwork(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20android.net.ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback)`, but if a suitable network is not found within the given time (in milliseconds) the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback#onUnavailable()` callback is called. The request can still be released normally by calling `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#unregisterNetworkCallback(android.net.ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback)` but does not have to be released if timed-out (it is automatically released). Unregistering a request that timed out is not an error.
Do not use this method to poll for the existence of specific networks (e.g. with a small timeout) - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#registerNetworkCallback(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20android.net.ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback)` is provided for that purpose. Calling this method will attempt to bring up the requested network.
This method has the same permission requirements as `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#requestNetwork(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20android.net.ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback)`, is subject to the same limitations, and throws the same exceptions in the same conditions.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `request` | `NetworkRequest`: `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkRequest` describing this request. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| `networkCallback` | `ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback`: The `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback` to be utilized for this request. Note the callback must not be shared - it uniquely specifies this request. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| `timeoutMs` | `int`: The time in milliseconds to attempt looking for a suitable network before `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback#onUnavailable()` is called. The timeout must be a positive value (i.e. \>0).

| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IllegalArgumentException` | if `request` contains invalid network capabilities. |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/RuntimeException` | if the app already has too many callbacks registered. |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/SecurityException` | if missing the appropriate permissions. |
### requestNetwork
Added in [API level 26](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public void requestNetwork (NetworkRequest request,
ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback networkCallback,
Handler handler,
int timeoutMs)
```
Request a network to satisfy a set of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkCapabilities`, limited by a timeout. This method behaves identically to `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#requestNetwork(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20android.net.ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback,%20int)` but runs all the callbacks on the passed Handler.
This method has the same permission requirements as `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#requestNetwork(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20android.net.ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback)`, is subject to the same limitations, and throws the same exceptions in the same conditions.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `request` | `NetworkRequest`: `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkRequest` describing this request. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| `networkCallback` | `ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback`: The `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback` to be utilized for this request. Note the callback must not be shared - it uniquely specifies this request. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| `handler` | `Handler`: `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Handler` to specify the thread upon which the callback will be invoked. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| `timeoutMs` | `int`: The time in milliseconds to attempt looking for a suitable network before `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback#onUnavailable()` is called.
|
### reserveNetwork
Added in [API level 36](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
Also in [U Extensions 17](https://developer.android.com/sdkExtensions)
```
public void reserveNetwork (NetworkRequest request,
Handler handler,
ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback networkCallback)
```
Reserve a network to satisfy a set of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkCapabilities`. Some types of networks require the system to generate (i.e. reserve) some set of information before a network can be connected. For such networks, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#reserveNetwork(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20android.os.Handler,%20android.net.ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback)` can be used which may lead to a call to `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback#onReserved(android.net.NetworkCapabilities)` containing the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkCapabilities` that were reserved. A reservation reserves at most one network. If the network connects, a reservation request behaves similar to a request filed using `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#requestNetwork(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20android.app.PendingIntent)`. The provided `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback` will only be called for the reserved network. If the system determines that the requested reservation can never be fulfilled, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback#onUnavailable()` is called, the reservation is released by the system, and the provided callback can be reused. Otherwise, the reservation remains in place until the requested network connects. There is no guarantee that the reserved network will ever connect.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `request` | `NetworkRequest`: `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkRequest` describing this request. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| `handler` | `Handler`: `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Handler` to specify the thread upon which the callback will be invoked. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| `networkCallback` | `ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback`: The `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback` to be utilized for this request. Note the callback must not be shared - it uniquely specifies this request. This value cannot be `null`.

### setNetworkPreference
Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
Deprecated in [API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public void setNetworkPreference (int preference)
```
**This method was deprecated in API level 21.**
Functionality has been removed as it no longer makes sense, with many more than two networks - we'd need an array to express preference. Instead we use dynamic network properties of the networks to describe their precedence.
Specifies the preferred network type. When the device has more than one type available the preferred network type will be used.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `preference` | `int`: the network type to prefer over all others. It is unspecified what happens to the old preferred network in the overall ordering.
|
### setProcessDefaultNetwork
Added in [API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
Deprecated in [API level 23](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static boolean setProcessDefaultNetwork (Network network)
```
**This method was deprecated in API level 23.**
This function can throw `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IllegalStateException`. Use `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#bindProcessToNetwork(android.net.Network)` instead. `bindProcessToNetwork` is a direct replacement.
Binds the current process to `network`. All Sockets created in the future (and not explicitly bound via a bound SocketFactory from `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Network#getSocketFactory()`) will be bound to `network`. All host name resolutions will be limited to `network` as well. Note that if `network` ever disconnects, all Sockets created in this way will cease to work and all host name resolutions will fail. This is by design so an application doesn't accidentally use Sockets it thinks are still bound to a particular `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Network`. To clear binding pass `null` for `network`. Using individually bound Sockets created by Network.getSocketFactory().createSocket() and performing network-specific host name resolutions via `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Network#getAllByName(java.lang.String)` is preferred to calling `setProcessDefaultNetwork`.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `network` | `Network`: The `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Network` to bind the current process to, or `null` to clear the current binding.
|
| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `boolean` | `true` on success, `false` if the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Network` is no longer valid.

### unregisterNetworkCallback
Added in [API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public void unregisterNetworkCallback (ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback networkCallback)
```
Unregisters a `NetworkCallback` and possibly releases networks originating from `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#requestNetwork(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20android.net.ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback)` and `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#registerNetworkCallback(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20android.net.ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback)` calls. If the given `NetworkCallback` had previously been used with `#requestNetwork`, any networks that the device brought up only to satisfy that request will be disconnected. Notifications that would have triggered that `NetworkCallback` will immediately stop triggering it as soon as this call returns.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `networkCallback` | `ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback`: The `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback` used when making the request. This value cannot be `null`.
|
### unregisterNetworkCallback
Added in [API level 23](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public void unregisterNetworkCallback (PendingIntent operation)
```
Unregisters a callback previously registered via `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#registerNetworkCallback(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20android.app.PendingIntent)`.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `operation` | `PendingIntent`: A PendingIntent equal (as defined by `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent#filterEquals(android.content.Intent)`) to the PendingIntent passed to `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#registerNetworkCallback(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20android.app.PendingIntent)`. Cannot be null.
