How to implement Captive Portal on Android.

[Noriaki Horiuchi]

Hi, everyone.
Please help me, I have one question.

I want to implement Captive Portal on Android 4 apps when the device is in tethering mode.
ttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captive_portal

To Implement Captive Portal, we need to implement HTTP proxy on the device generally.
But on Android, if NOT rooted, I cannot do it because the app doesn't have the permission "CONNECTIVITY_INTERNAL".

Do you know how to avoid this affair and implement Captive Portal?

This is what I want to do:
Host device where the app is installed is android 4x, and the client could be any device (android, iPhone, PC etc)
My idea is to control the connection and direct to a specific page (defined by url).

please give me your insights.
Anything outside of captive portal? or how to by-pass the root permission?

Thanks in advance!

Your best bet might be to post something in our Application Development - Android Forums area.
