I did a deep dive into the Java docs for ConnectivityManager and worked out how to do it in Java. Then, as I was working out how to connect the Java I wrote into the Python, I realized I could just do it without writing any Java at all thanks to jnius (unless I've missed something :sweat_smile: )
I've tested this both by building an APK with a Kolibri WHL that persistently showed the status of the metered connection on the device. Then, as I toggle the manual override in Android to treat a connection as metered, I toggle the output of the status in Kolibri.
Also it works when I SSH via remoteshell (which is amazing to have).
One thing I'd gotten stuck on early for a bit was that I was thinking we'd need to hook into the ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback business so that we could react to a change. After some though I figured that we can just call the function whenever we need to know the status -- rather than trying to register some Python code to run as a Java callback.
I just wanted to share in case I've missed something there or if for some reason working that out would be better for some reason.
