removeTransportType

Added in API level 21
Also in U Extensions 1
public NetworkRequest.Builder removeTransportType (int transportType)

Removes (if found) the given transport from this builder instance.

Parameters
transportType int: The transport type to remove. Value is NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_CELLULAR, NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI, NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_BLUETOOTH, NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_ETHERNET, NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_VPN, NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI_AWARE, NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_LOWPAN, android.net.NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_TEST, NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_USB, or NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_THREAD

Returns
NetworkRequest.Builder The builder to facilitate chaining.

setIncludeOtherUidNetworks

Added in API level 31
Also in U Extensions 1
public NetworkRequest.Builder setIncludeOtherUidNetworks (boolean include)

Specifies whether the built request should also match networks that do not apply to the calling UID. By default, the built request will only match networks that apply to the calling UID. If this method is called with true, the built request will match any network on the system that matches the other parameters of the request. In this case, any information in the built request that is subject to redaction for security or privacy purposes, such as a NetworkSpecifier, will be redacted or removed to prevent the application deducing sensitive information.

Parameters
include boolean: Whether to match networks that do not apply to the calling UID.

Returns
NetworkRequest.Builder The builder to facilitate chaining. This value cannot be null.

setNetworkSpecifier

Added in API level 26
Also in U Extensions 1
public NetworkRequest.Builder setNetworkSpecifier (NetworkSpecifier networkSpecifier)

Sets the optional bearer specific network specifier. This has no meaning if a single transport is also not specified, so calling this without a single transport set will generate an exception, as will subsequently adding or removing transports after this is set.

Parameters
networkSpecifier NetworkSpecifier: A concrete, parcelable framework class that extends NetworkSpecifier.

Returns
NetworkRequest.Builder

setNetworkSpecifier

Added in API level 21
Also in U Extensions 1
Deprecated in API level 30
public NetworkRequest.Builder setNetworkSpecifier (String networkSpecifier)

This method was deprecated in API level 30.
Use setNetworkSpecifier(android.net.NetworkSpecifier) instead.

Sets the optional bearer specific network specifier. This has no meaning if a single transport is also not specified, so calling this without a single transport set will generate an exception, as will subsequently adding or removing transports after this is set.

If the networkSpecifier is provided, it shall be interpreted as follows:
  • If the specifier can be parsed as an integer, it will be treated as a TelephonyNetworkSpecifier, and the provided integer will be interpreted as a SubscriptionId.
  • If the value is an ethernet interface name, it will be treated as such.
  • For all other cases, the behavior is undefined.

Parameters
networkSpecifier String: A String of either a SubscriptionId in cellular network request or an ethernet interface name in ethernet network request.

Returns
NetworkRequest.Builder
