I need to know about Wi-Fi and 3G Internet traffic. I found this traffic data is saved to /statistics/rx_bytes, /statistics/tx_bytes, /sys/class/net/ paths.
Question: If I get data from these paths, what does this data mean? When did this data start being gathered: from Wi-Fi activation or from phone switch-on?
And when does the system clear or refresh this Wi-Fi traffic data? (My app needs to save daily traffic)

    I found these traffics data are saved on “/statistics/rx_bytes”, “/statistics/tx_bytes”, “/sys/class/net/” paths.

    Do not use these, as they may not exist on all devices. Use TrafficStats, please.

    If i get data from these paths, what does it mean these data.

    Please read the documentation for TrafficStats.

    When this data started gathering: from WiFi activated or from phone switched on?

    That is undocumented and therefore may vary.

    And when system clears or refreshes this wifi traffic data?

    That too is undocumented and therefore may vary.
