Android Network Connection Check

Add below code in AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />


Reference :
import android.net.ConnectivityManager;
import android.net.NetworkInfo;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;

Function:

public  boolean isNetworkConnected(Activity  activity  ) {
ConnectivityManager connMgr = (ConnectivityManager)activity
.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo ni = connMgr.getActiveNetworkInfo();

if (ni == null) {
  Toast.makeText(Ac,"No internet connection can be found.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return false;
} else
return true;
}

Note: For normal activeity isNetworkConnected(this)

public static final boolean isNetworkConnected(Context  con) {
ConnectivityManager connMgr = (ConnectivityManager)con
.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo ni = connMgr.getActiveNetworkInfo();

if (ni == null) {
Toast.makeText(con,"No internet connection can be found.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return false;
} else
return true;
}
Note: For Context isNetworkConnected(context)  .i.e. inside OnClickListener

Summary and code samples for GPS calls and detection :HTML5

The HTML5 Geolocation API is used to get the geographical position of a user. Since this can compromise user privacy, the position is not available unless the user approves it.

Use the watchPosition () method to get the user's position. The example below is a simple Geolocation example returning the latitude and longitude of the user's position:

if (navigator.geolocation) {

    navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(function (pos) {

     

       var lat = pos.coords.latitude;

        var lng = pos.coords.longitude; 

        if (lat != 0) {

            $("#lat").val(lat);// Assign hidden input field

            $("#lng").val(lng); // Assign hidden input field

        }

    });

}

else {

   

    alert( "Geolocation is not supported by this browser.");

   

}

Note : Add this code inside  <script> .....</script>  tag in your page

Example explained:

• Check if Geolocation is supported
• If supported, run the watchPosition() method. If not, display a message to the user
• If the watchPosition () method is successful, it returns a coordinates object to the function specified in the parameter (pos)
• The pos () function gets the displays the Latitude and Longitude

Handling Errors and Rejections:

For Handling Error We can use below code.

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(success, error, options);

var options = {

    enableHighAccuracy: true,

    timeout: 50000,

    maximumAge: 0

};

function success(pos) {

    var crd = pos.coords;

};

function error(err) {

    alert('ERROR(' + err.code + '): ' + err.message);

};

Send Android Push Notifications via GCM(Google Cloud Messaging) By C#.Net

Create Google Api key  and Client ID 

Please go to https://console.developers.google.com/project   and create new project for using api

After creating new project we will get project number which is necessary for future work.

Please select  "APIs" from left site menu which is under "APIs & auth" .

After selecting   "APIs" we will get avaliable api list in right site listview.For doing Android Push Notifications we need to active "Google Cloud Messaging for Android".Please click "OFF" for making "ON"

After Click "OFF"

Create new Client ID :

Please select  "Credentials" from left site menu which is under "APIs & auth"  and Click "Create new Client ID" button from Write side.

Please fillup the popup window.First select "Installed application" and then select "Android". After that insert "Package name" which will come from you android project and also insert  "Signing certificate fingerprint (SHA1)" which is your project SHA1. Please select "Enabled" option and click "Create Client ID".

After that you will get Client Id which will show inside your "Credential" window.

We will use "884643418365-ho8n0fcn161s2p7uucmkeh727989knuf" as Client ID in the C# code and Android code.

Create new Key :

Click "Create new Key " button from Write side. 

And click "Server Key" from popup window.Then another popup window will come and click again "Create " button without fillup anything.

Then we will get Api Key for server applications

We will use "AIzaSyDD0kNEqml-ToGk08RtLT0w0NNT0VjSIok" as Google Api key  in the C# code .
