I’m trying to get the traffic generated by my application. It includes a video streaming and I want to get network usage data.

I’ve used TrafficStats with Mobile and Total function. Now I want to set it to work using the application UID but I haven’t managed to do so, as it always returns -1. I’m using Android 2.3.4 and here is the code:

int uid = getApplication().getApplicationInfo().uid;
uid = android.os.Process.myUid();
long txApp = TrafficStats.getUidTxBytes(uid);
long rxApp = TrafficStats.getUidRxBytes(uid);

With both uids I get an error (-1) on TrafficStats. Any help?

    It appears that your device does not support TrafficStats. The documentation states:

    If the statistics are not supported by this device, UNSUPPORTED will be returned.

    The code for TrafficStats.UNSUPPORTED is -1.

    You can instead read the /sys/class/net/ log files. Try the code provided in this answer.
