On Android, is there a way to force a particular request to go through WAP instead of wifi?

I want to leave wifi turned on, so that it can continue to be used for other connections.

  • Thanks Dave. This is a good workaround. But turning the wi-fi off/on might cause other problems. If another process is doing background downloading, their wi-fi usage will be interrupted. Is it not possible to do this without switching wi-fi? – Jack Aug 05 '10 at 01:48

The 'possible duplicate' answer has been updated since this post was originally made. From Android 2.2 onwards it would appear to be possible to turn on the WAP connection and then start using it for a particular connection. Take a look at this answer.
