Help How to use a secondary APN just for a specific Android Application

[GiuseppeSM]

Hello everybody, I have a question about app developing...

Is it possible to use a secondary APN just for a specific Android Application and let the current APN to be used by the other applications (simultaneously) ?

If yes, how?

I would be grateful if you could write a code example to set that seconday APN without to change the current one. Thank you.

To have a secondary APN, it must be a dual-SIM active phone, with two carrier SIMs present. However I've never seen an option with dual-SIM devices to set a specific app to use the other data connection, i.e. the secondary APN.

So I guess it would need to be rooted and an appropriately modified custom ROM installed on the phone. Of course I can't provide any code examples for that, as I'm not a ROM dev.

I would doubt it's possible to do what you're asking about. Using one app or another app will be done at a more restricted 'user-level' while the APN a phone is using is something that gets loaded during the boot process, at a more protected 'system-level'. Even with dual-SIM phones, using one APN and then switching to a different APN isn't just hot-swappable in user space.

In the thread of following link somebody answered that it's possible to set an APN for an application without to change the default one but they didn't write a code example to do that, does anybody know how to do that?
