(Android development tips series) mobile Internet interfaces (WAP and net) with Chinese characteristics bring troubles to Application Development

Android users will find that, when setting network connection, if you set it to the WAP interface for Internet access, you will find many Internet-based applications

Unavailable.

This problem occurs mainly because China's major telecom operators manually split GPRS into two networks: Net and WAP.

The WAP method only supports the WAP protocol, and the value-added traffic cost is a little lower.

Net supports WAP, HTTP, soap, and custom socket transmission at the underlying layer, but the cost is more expensive than WAP.

From the perspective of future development, the networks of these two methods will eventually be merged into one network, but it is annoying for the current application development.

Contradictions mainly involve the following aspects:

1. If WAP is supported, the transmission interface must be adjusted. Currently, the mainstream interfaces are based on HTTP or soap.

When the interaction response is high, socket transmission is used.

If you want to change it to WAP, how to change it, how to work, and the technical indicators after the change are all uncertain factors

2. If WAP is not supported, some potential users will be lost.
