Getting call for connectivity changes periodically on Samsung Note3 Neo

[AbdullahUsmani]

I have the following code in my app::

ReactiveNetwork.observeNetworkConnectivity(this)
                .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
                .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
                .subscribe(new Action1<Connectivity>() {
                    @Override
                    public void call(Connectivity connectivity) {
                        if(mCurrentActivity != null) {
                            if (connectivity.getState() == NetworkInfo.State.DISCONNECTED) {
                                Timber.i("Connection lost");
                            } else if (connectivity.getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED) {
                                Timber.i("Connected");
                            }
                        }
                    }
                });

It is working fine on most of the devices I tested (Oneplus X, Samsung J5 etc). The 'call' method of 'Action1' gets called once whenever internet connection is lost or retained. But on Samsung Note3 Neo, Android v5.1.1, it gets called again and again.

Hi,

Thanks for reporting this issue.

If this problem occurs only on the mentioned device, it may be device specific problem. What do you mean by "gets called again and again"? Does it get called continuously in an endless loop? This may be related to Android version customized by Samsung. To be honest, I tested this library only on "pure" Android OS on Nexus 5 & 6 and I haven't checked it on Samsung devices.

Thanks for your response.
Yes, it gets called continuously. Ideally, I should get a callback whenever a change in connectivity happens, i.e, when internet gets connected or disconnected. But I am getting this callback in an endless loop.

Like, it keeps on logging "Connected" every 4-5 seconds. Then when I disconnect the internet, it keeps logging "Connection lost" every 4-5 seconds.

Are you sure, you're using library correctly? Have you tried to run the sample app and got the same results? If yes, I think it's may be a problem with this concrete device or its custom Android OS.

I think I am using the library correctly. Because I am getting the correct results on all other devices. This must be a device/OS specific issue.
I haven't tried the sample app though. I'll check it and let you know soon.

If it works on all other devices except for this one, it's definitely device or OS specific issue and probably cannot be fixed within library code. It can be reported to the device manufacturer.

There's no new response since one year and it's related to the specific device, so I'm closing it.
