android statistic 3g traffic for each APP, how?


For statistic network traffic per APP, what I'm using now is Android TrafficStats

That I can get result like following :

  • Youtube 50.30 MBytes
  • Facebook 21.39 MBytes
  • Google Play 103.38 MBytes
  • (and more...)

As I know, the "Android Trafficstats" just a native pointer to a c file. (maybe an .so ?)

But it mixed Wifi & 3g traffic, is there any way to only get non-WiFi traffic statistic ?


Solution

  • Evening all, I got some way to do that...

    First I have to create a class which extends BroadcasrReceiver, like this:

    Manifest definition:

    <receiver android:name=".core.CoreReceiver" android:enabled="true" android:exported="false">
      <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.net.ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION" />
        <action android:name="android.net.wifi.STATE_CHANGE" />
      </intent-filter>
    </receiver>
    

    Codes:

    /**
     * @author me
     */
    public class CoreReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
      public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        if (Constants.phone == null) {
          // Receive [network] event
          Constants.phone=new PhoneListen(context);
          TelephonyManager telephony=(TelephonyManager) 
          context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
          telephony.listen(Constants.phone, PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_DATA_CONNECTION_STATE);
        }
    
        WifiManager wifi=(WifiManager)context.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
        boolean b=wifi.isWifiEnabled();
        if (Constants.STATUS_WIFI != b) {
           // WiFi status changed...
        }
      }
    }
    

    And a phone stats listener below...

    public class PhoneListen extends PhoneStateListener {
      private Context context;    
      public PhoneListen(Context c) {
         context=c;
      }    
      @Override
      public void onDataConnectionStateChanged(int state) {
        switch(state) {
          case TelephonyManager.DATA_DISCONNECTED:// 3G
            //3G has been turned OFF
          break;
          case TelephonyManager.DATA_CONNECTING:// 3G
            //3G is connecting
          break;
          case TelephonyManager.DATA_CONNECTED:// 3G
            //3G has turned ON
          break;
        }
      }
    }
    

    Finally, here's my logic

    1. Collect count into SQLite DB.
    2. Collect all app network usage via TrafficStats every 1 minute, only when 3G is ON.
    3. If 3G is OFF, then stop collecting.
    4. If both 3G & WiFi are ON, stop collecting.

    As I know, network traffic will go through WiFi only, if both 3G & WiFi are available.
