[GitHub] [cordova-plugin-network-information] venky-vc02 opened a new issue, #147: Network Up and Down Speed in android

[GitBox <gi...@apache.org>]

venky-vc02 opened a new issue, #147:
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-network-information/issues/147

   # Feature Request
   Network Speed Detection
   
   ## Motivation Behind Feature
   It will be very useful for those users who would like to know the current network upload and download speed in android.
   
   
   
   ## Feature Description
   
   - Provide the current connected network upload speed
   - Provide the current connected network download speed
   - It will be useful to replace the usage of google speed test to validate who much speed is the internet user connected to.
   - We can return 0 if the current speed cannot be determined or in cases where the internet is not reachable.
   
   
   
   ## Alternatives or Workarounds
   We can use the new method provided by android **NetworkCapabilities**
   ```
   ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
       NetworkInfo netInfo = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
       //should check null because in airplane mode it will be null
       NetworkCapabilities nc = cm.getNetworkCapabilities(cm.getActiveNetwork());
       int downSpeed = nc.getLinkDownstreamBandwidthKbps();
       int upSpeed = nc.getLinkUpstreamBandwidthKbps();
   ```
   
   This code will help in getting the speed in kbps.
