ConnectivityManager.bindProcessToNetwork() about titanium_mobile HOT 4 OPEN

Hi @dalabarge, thanks for the ticket. As this isn't a very actively monitored channel I hope you've found your answer in the meantime. Have you looked at https://github.com/appcelerator-modules/titanium-socketio?

I recommend https://tislack.org for interacting with the community if you're not already in there.

Thanks @Topener It's not a problem with the TCP communication itself however. The problem is that initiating communication with a remote IP and port for the TCP socket must go over a network interface. On a smart phone there's the cellular modem and the wireless modem at a minimum. I need to force wireless modem as cellular will never find a local wireless access point as it's an independent cellular network.

For example you connect to your IoT device's wireless then initiate some TCP communication but if you can't force TCP network binding to use the wireless connection then based on speed or other factors your "smart" phone might decide to use cellular and you'll get connection issues. Disabling cellular fixes this by forcing only one network interface to be available but I'm looking for programmatic control over this.

Neither Titanium.Network nor SocketIO appear to have this functionality exposed. Socket.io doesn't because it's handling the socket layer not the network layer much like Titanium.Network.TCP. So I'm wondering how you'd use Titanium SDK to setup the a WiFi network-only TCP socket? I know how to get the type of network and can abort if currently connected over cellular, but is there a way to force or bind the socket to the WiFi network?

Thanks for the clarification! I am unaware of this functionality in Titanium indeed. If the functionality is supported natively on iOS & Android we are happy to merge in a PR exposing this to Ti.Network.

I'll shoot you an email to communicate further about the topic.

Hello, do you have such problems?As mentioned above, in the case of both WiFi and cellular networks, let the smartphone select only WiFi for communication.But above Android 9.0, it seems that mandatory use of WiFi cannot be realized in this way. Do you have such problems?
