Can Android applications see OS wide context in terms of network? For example,
I’m asking because I know each application runs in it’s own Dalvik virtual machine.
No, generally you cannot see the state of any other applications, nor can you generally get low-level information such as the IP address from the Android framework classes.
However, you could try using the usual
java.netclasses to see whether you get anything back. For exampleNetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces()should hopefully still give you the expected information as it would on a regular VM.Alternatively, outwith the Android API you could access networking information as you would on any other Linux system.
