Hello

Is there any way to know if user use wifi connection or 4G connection?

Thank you.

I usually do it this way, though I'm not sure if it's the best:

Dim srv As ServerSocket
srv.Initialize(0,"")
If srv.GetMyWifiIP = "127.0.0.1" Then
   log("not connected to WIFI")
end if

Nice approach... I can use the same code to check for 4G connection?

This is for WiFi. When we're not connected to WiFi, I send a request to a stable link (up, most of the time at least) for e.g. google.com. If I get a success, I assume we are connected using our 4G.

Check this:

Dim myphone As Phone  'Phone Library
 
 If myphone.GetSettings ("wifi_on") =1 OR myphone.GetDataState = "CONNECTED" Then

@Philip Chatzigeorgiadis Nice approach... But what about 4G data?

Sorry, Makis.
I haven't use B4A for a few years (doing everything in B4J and ABMaterial these days).
The code above is from one of my last projects in B4A, where I checked that a connection was present. I have no clue about how you could check specifically for 4G data connection.

It is OK... No problem I am sure I find the solution somewhere in forum

You can use Phone.GetNetworkType.
