Based on your preferred interface list, I would first do a scan on
Wifi. Look for open Wifi networks to connect without security codes.
Otherwise open a dialog that the user can enter the security
information for the secured network.
If no Wifi network is available turn off Wifi which automatically
triggers to connect to cellular data. Have a broadcast receiver
implemented to check for network changes. When you receive a network
change you can use the code below to find out what your actual network
is.
To find out about your current connection:
ConnectivityManager connection = (ConnectivityManager)
mContext.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo networkInfo = connection.getActiveNetworkInfo();
Log.d(TAG,"type: "+networkInfo.getTypeName());
To connect to a wifi network you have to create a WifiConfiguration.
After adding your configuration to the WifiMgr with
mWifiMgr.addNetwork(wifiConfiguration);
you can connect to the network with
boolean successConnected = mWifiMgr.enableNetwork(inetId, true);
In your broadcast receiver you should receive an intent about the
network status change.
