Now a days Internet access is very costly.The provider used charges like hell. We do not use unlimited plan for internet.That's why I would like to develop an that can facilities to calculate(manage) network package/data usage.

Suppose I have activated 5GB data plan.So I need to check before surfing net,upload/download things.

I know some Data provider provides these facility .I want to capture network data packets on my android device by my app. But How can I do that into my own code. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you advance

Use TrafficStats class starting in APILevel 8. You get overall usage per radio access technology and per app.

See http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/TrafficStats.html It's all static methods, for example call TrafficStats.getMobileRxBytes()

Please check that.

TextView infoView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.traffic_info);
String info = "";

info += "Mobile Interface:\n";
info += ("\tReceived: " + TrafficStats.getMobileRxBytes() + " bytes / " + TrafficStats.getMobileRxPackets() + " packets\n");
info += ("\tTransmitted: " + TrafficStats.getMobileTxBytes() + " bytes / " + TrafficStats.getMobileTxPackets() + " packets\n");

info += "All Network Interface:\n";
info += ("\tReceived: " + TrafficStats.getTotalRxBytes() + " bytes / " + TrafficStats.getTotalRxPackets() + " packets\n");
info += ("\tTransmitted: " + TrafficStats.getTotalTxBytes() + " bytes / " + TrafficStats.getTotalTxPackets() + " packets\n");

infoView.setText(info);
