Hello, I'm very new to the boards, and I have a question about the connectivity manager but didn't see it discussed in my searches. I am doing research on the possibility of producing a background application that is woken up when an ad-hoc wifi network is in range. I understand how to create a network of this type, but my problem lies in the acknowledgment of a network of this type without busy waiting.
I have recently discovered that applications have to ability to be woken up by "broadcast intents," where the app is declared as a received in the manifest file. The one that interests me is the ConnectiviyManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION. From what I understand, this event is broadcasts when the device switches networks. I am wondering if this functionality can be modified so that the event is sent out when new wireless (preferably ad-hoc) networks are in range. It seems like I could accomplish this by having my phone connect to these type of networks automatically, but I'm not sure how to go about this either. I am very interested in what everyone has to say. Thanks! -Ryan Berti --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
