Question

What\'s the difference between ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE and INTERNET?

If I use INTERNET, is it necessary to use ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE?

In other words, can I use INTER

Answer 1

android.permission.INTERNET

is enough if you just want to use internet (connect to a web service or show a web page on webView).

android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE

is "nice to have" to query status of network state before using internet.
