To get the internet speed in an Android app programmatically, you can use the TrafficStats
class, which provides methods to retrieve the amount of data transmitted and received over the mobile and WiFi networks.
Here's an example of how you can get the internet speed in an Android app using the TrafficStats
class:
import android.net.TrafficStats; // ... long rxBytes = TrafficStats.getTotalRxBytes(); long txBytes = TrafficStats.getTotalTxBytes(); // Calculate the internet speed in bits per second long speed = (rxBytes + txBytes) * 8;
In this example, the rxBytes
variable holds the total number of bytes received over the mobile and WiFi networks, and the txBytes
variable holds the total number of bytes transmitted over the networks. The speed
variable is calculated by adding the received and transmitted bytes and multiplying the result by 8 to convert the data transfer rate to bits per second.
It's important to note that the TrafficStats
class only provides information about the data transmitted and received by the device, not the actual internet connection speed. To get the internet connection speed, you can use a third-party library or service that measures the connection speed by downloading and uploading data from a server.
