I know in Android you can do networking and I’ve done it but I’ve only been able to do it when the phone is connected to a WiFi network. I’m wondering if is there a way for my Activity to connect to my server without having an active WiFi connection.

It would kind of be a pain to market my game if you must be connected to a WiFi network in order to play with other people. When I tried connecting to my server without an active WiFi connection i get this error:

java.net.SocketException: No route to host

All answers are welcome. Thanks in advance!

    In order to make network calls and use network resources, you need to be connected to a network: either with “cellular” data, such as 3G or EDGE, or WiFi.

    However, Android should handle most this behavior pretty well behind the scenes.

    For more information, check out Android’s Connectivity Manager, Content Provider, and Java’s Sockets.
