Question

it is possible to check use network provided values chekbox pro-grammatically?I want to check that checkbox using code.How can I do it?

Answer 1

Try this:

YourActivity.this.startActivity(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_DATE_SETTINGS));

It is not possible to enable it directly from your code. This code will help you to automatically go to that screen.You can then check or uncheck it and then return back to the your screen.

Answer 2

android.provider.Settings.System.getInt(getContentResolver(), android.provider.Settings.Global.AUTO_TIME)

0 - not checked 1 - checked

public class ConnectionDetector {

        private Context _context;

        public ConnectionDetector(Context context){
            this._context = context;
        }

        /**
         * Checking for all possible internet providers
         * **/
        public boolean isConnectingToInternet(){
            ConnectivityManager connectivity = (ConnectivityManager) _context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
              if (connectivity != null)
              {
                  NetworkInfo[] info = connectivity.getAllNetworkInfo();
                  if (info != null)
                      for (int i = 0; i < info.length; i++)
                          if (info[i].getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED)
                          {
                              return true;
                          }

              }
