NetworkSecurityPolicy
open class NetworkSecurityPolicy
| kotlin.Any | |
| ↳ | android.security.NetworkSecurityPolicy |
Network security policy.
Network stacks/components should honor this policy to make it possible to centrally control the relevant aspects of network security behavior.

Public methods
getInstance
open static fun getInstance(): NetworkSecurityPolicy!
Gets the policy for this process.
It's fine to cache this reference. Any changes to the policy will be immediately visible through the reference.
isCertificateTransparencyVerificationRequired
open fun isCertificateTransparencyVerificationRequired(hostname: String): Boolean
Returns true if Certificate Transparency information is required to be verified by the client in TLS connections to hostname.
See RFC6962 section 3.3 for more details.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
hostname |
String: hostname to check whether certificate transparency verification is required This value cannot be null. |
| Return | |
|---|---|
Boolean |
true if certificate transparency verification is required and false otherwise |
isCleartextTrafficPermitted
open fun isCleartextTrafficPermitted(): Boolean
Returns whether cleartext network traffic (e.g. HTTP, FTP, WebSockets, XMPP, IMAP, SMTP -- without TLS or STARTTLS) is permitted for all network communication from this process.
When cleartext network traffic is not permitted, the platform's components (e.g. HTTP and FTP stacks, android.app.DownloadManager, android.media.MediaPlayer) will refuse this process's requests to use cleartext traffic. Third-party libraries are strongly encouraged to honor this setting as well.
This flag is honored on a best effort basis because it's impossible to prevent all cleartext traffic from Android applications given the level of access provided to them. For example, there's no expectation that the java.net.Socket API will honor this flag because it cannot determine whether its traffic is in cleartext. However, most network traffic from applications is handled by higher-level network stacks/components which can honor this aspect of the policy.
NOTE: android.webkit.WebView honors this flag for applications targeting API level 26 and up.
isCleartextTrafficPermitted
open fun isCleartextTrafficPermitted(hostname: String!): Boolean
Returns whether cleartext network traffic (e.g. HTTP, FTP, XMPP, IMAP, SMTP -- without TLS or STARTTLS) is permitted for communicating with hostname for this process.
