ConnectivityManager.ConnectivityAction Deprecated

[craylward]

The ConnectivityManager.ConnectivityAction constant has been deprecated in Android API 28.

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#CONNECTIVITY_ACTION

VS bug #735657

Looks like a good improvement for anything using API 23 +

I think that we want: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager#registerNetworkCallback(android.net.NetworkRequest,%20android.app.PendingIntent)

Requires the ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permission.

Hello. Is there any further progress planned on this? I see the current implementation hides the compiler warnings that the API has been deprecated and I would like to understand if this actually still works on API 29 and greater. Can I safely use the current Essentials Network API for Android now that all apps need to at least be targeting API >= 29 to get into the Play Store?

[jamesmontemagno]

Yup, everything still works fine.

I'm going to do a spike on the new stuff as well. The old stuff works and continues to work though. Deprecated is still around for a very long time usually :)
