Network Type Indicator

Network Type Indicator is an Android App that places an status bar icon acording to the type of mobile network in use (e.g. 2G, 2G+, 3G, ...).

This app is meant for devices that may not include this information in the status bar by default (e.g. Xperia or Galaxy phones).

Currently, pre-Honeycomb, the theme is based on the old default theme, post-Honeycomb it’s based on Holo.

However starting with ICS there’s also a DeviceDefault theme that makes the app look more integrated (i.e. it looks like Holo on older devices, and like Material on newer ones).

? Task Description

From feedback, by Martin Buch:

Would like an option to only display status bar icon when roaming. Its really only when roaming I need this information as the stock network type indication is replaced with an ‘R’ on my Nexus 6P (when roaming).

Many phones seem to do that.

I like it better when there's no option to open network setting and disable
notification at the status bar drawer

Feedback from Evgenij Gerasimov:

Useful app but New submenu ('Network' and 'Remove notification' buttons), right under
regular notification is not a thing I'd like to see everytime I open a notification area.
Mainly because it's useless at all and takes too much place.
There should be an option in the app that would allow not to show this submenu, I think.

Add as a configurable option

1.5 (rel. xx039) Task Description

ldpi and hdpi icons have a non-integer relationship to the other sizes, hence resizing involves antialiasing.

Design icons for these sizes when re-designing icons.

0%
1.6 Task Description

Theming support as initially intended ( FS#237 ) is not possible.

With the switch to vector graphics adding alternative icons becomes fairly “cheap” app-size-wise and many users have requested alternative ones. This task tracks these suggestions.

    Needs to indicate using LTE icon not just 4g icon good app if you add this I will make it a 5

  • Jon Manilenio 29/04/2016 on Google Play
    Nice I wish there were more designs though.

  • Miles Vino 23/04/2017 on Google Play
    Appreciate this handy app! Please consider a simpler icon, without the square, so it blends with Google’s material design. Thanks!

  • MJ Cortez 02/06/2017 on Google Play
    4G should be displayed as LTE instead of [4]

  • Prince Priyam Borah 08/08/2017 on Google Play
    Plz add the stylish 4G logo. Your app only shows 4. Else, everything is ok.

Gradle allows to define fields on the generated class BuildConfig. This should be enough to discard the current per-build-type classes.

In the past BuildConfig.DEBUG wasn’t reliable (when combining Eclipse and ADT), but on Android Studio with Gradle it can be used safely and hence there’s no need to duplicate the functionality.
