I'm trying to make a SMB (Samba) connection to get a list of files and download them with the SMBClient of smbj library.
To that I have to connect to a specific network and use that class, but in Android Q I have to change the way to connect to the wireless, like this:
val wifiNetworkSpecifier: WifiNetworkSpecifier = WifiNetworkSpecifier.Builder().apply {
setSsid(ssid)
setWpa2Passphrase(password)
}.build()
val networkRequest: NetworkRequest = NetworkRequest.Builder().apply {
addTransportType(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI)
removeCapability(NetworkCapabilities.NET_CAPABILITY_INTERNET)
addCapability(NetworkCapabilities.NET_CAPABILITY_NOT_RESTRICTED)
setNetworkSpecifier(wifiNetworkSpecifier)
}.build()
val networkCallback: ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback = object : ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback() {
override fun onAvailable(network: Network) {
Log.d(tag, "::onAvailable - Entry")
super.onAvailable(network)
}
override fun onUnavailable() {
Log.d(tag, "::onUnavailable - Entry")
super.onUnavailable()
}
}
This makes a connection in the app, but establishes the main connection via mobile data and I can't establish a connection because the server is unreachable. I have to find a way to make the connection through the network object in the onAvailable function.
Did you know how or is there an alternative way?
Solution
I found a method in the ConnectivityManager class the method is bindProcessToNetwork
connectivityManager.bindProcessToNetwork(network)
