Is it possible to check if an Android device is connected to a VPN server? A search in the API provides 'paltform highlights' for Android 1.6, so that doesn't fill me with much confidence.

You can register to broadcastreceiver and all vpn states will come to you application.
Add this to application manifest:
<receiver android:name=".ConnectivityReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="vpn.connectivity" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
create a class:
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.util.Log;
public class ConnectivityReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
public void onReceive(Context c, Intent intent)
{
String state = intent.getSerializableExtra("connection_state").toString();
Log.d("**************", state.toString());
if (state.equals("CONNECTING")) {
// Do what needs to be done
}
else if (state.equals("CONNECTED")) {
// Do what needs to be done
}
else if (state.equals("IDLE")) {
int errorCode = intent.getIntExtra("err", 0);
if (errorCode != 0) {
// Do what needs to be done to report a failure
}
else {
// Normal disconnect
}
}
else if (state.equals("DISCONNECTING")) {
// Usually not very interesting
}
}
}
