Upload speed

[arianaa30]

Hi,
Nice API. Can I use it to sample upload speed as well? Actually I want to use it to profile download speed, upload speed, along with time stamp and GPS info and save to a .csv file. Does it allow me enough flexibility to do that?

You would need to modify DeviceBandwidthStats to read TrafficStats.getTotalTxBytes in addition to getTotalRxBytes (and store that in a separate counter). Timestamp should be obvious but GPS is out of scope of this library. Note that the strategy of this library is passive -- if your app isn't consuming data, it won't be updating any estimates.

Thanks. But what do you mean of Passive? All the file upload and file download process is there, so I will only getTotalBytes and divide it by the time elapsed?!
Isn't there any simpler ways? Basically speed data are being shown on the UI. Maybe I can just store them?
