Deprecated NetworkInfo methods are used. #318
Description
Since API 28 all NetworkInfo properties are deprecated https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/NetworkInfo and it is intended not to use them but use NetworkCallback instead.
ReactiveNetwork already uses NetworkCallback on Marshmellow and higher https://github.com/pwittchen/ReactiveNetwork/blob/RxJava2.x/library/src/main/java/com/github/pwittchen/reactivenetwork/library/rx2/network/observing/strategy/MarshmallowNetworkObservingStrategy.java but still uses NetworkInfo to construct the final Connectivity object (https://github.com/pwittchen/ReactiveNetwork/blob/RxJava2.x/library/src/main/java/com/github/pwittchen/reactivenetwork/library/rx2/Connectivity.java)
Since methods are deprecated in API 28 it is not safe to use them in production apps. Of course it is possible to implement custom NetworkObservingStrategy but are there any plans to implement full support of new API out of the box?

Hi,
Thanks for reporting this. I didn't know about deprecated properties of
NetworkInfoclass. I'll try to update the library and get rid of deprecated code as soon as I can.Regards,
Piotr

I'm having similar problem after updating my test device to Android Pie (API-level-28). Cause when the device was in Oreo i was getting all the necessary data(specially the SSID from extraInfo field, after getting connected to a WIFI source) from the observeNetworkConnectivity methods response. Now its returning extraInfo and reason null.

Hi,
I didn't have time to work on this. I'll try to fix it as soon as I can.
Regards.

I had a look at this. I see that adjusting this library to the new API without breaking backward-compatibility and tests is not trivial. I think, this issue has the highest priority in this project now, so I'll focus on it first.

Any alternative library/util to use until this is updated? My gradle is not allowing me to compile because of this deprecated use

Looks like this is still an issue. Any updates on this?
pwittchen commentedon Apr 17, 2020
Like I said, I'll try to do it in the meantime, but if you want to have the update faster, you can create a new PR. Project is open-source.
