Network manager on Android

[Vittal]

I am currently porting a Linux code on to Android. The Linux code
interacts with the Network Manager service. Is there a similar service
available on Android native or any other libraries which provides
information on the status of network devices?

I don't know what the "Network Manager" service is, but I do know that
there is no public API in Android for network status.

There is a Java level API, called the ConnectivityManager. See

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.html

Perhaps you can have your Java code use the ConnectivityManager, and
then call into your C code as necessary.

Has anyone traced back from java code to find the native libraries it
is using?

The native APIs are not publicly supported. If you called the native
APIs your code could break in the next release of Android.

Good luck with that.... There are many Android devices, with many
different ways of getting to the network.
