Is there a way to check if the user is using a device (this applies primarily to tablets) with Cellular conection?. That is, the smartphones comes with built-in Wi‑Fi and Cellular (generally), but some tablets only comes with Wi-Fi. How I can know what type of device is running my application?
I tried the following without results:
cell = ConnectivityManager.isNetworkTypeValid(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE);
wifi = ConnectivityManager.isNetworkTypeValid(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI);
if (cell) tv_1.setText("The tablet has cellular");
else tv_1.setText("The tablet does not have cellular");
if (wifi) tv_2.setText("The tablet has wifi");
else tv_2.setText("The tablet does not have wifi");
The problem is that both comparisons always return true, even if it's a tablet that has no cellular.
I only need to know if the device has a SIM card slot (model with cellular) or it is a model that only has WiFi, is that possible?
Thanks in advance.
