Hey Greg,
Would you mind me using (parts of) the SpeedTest source code in an application i’m developing in the context of my thesis for my Master Civil Engineering?
I’d rather ask beforehand

Hello and Greg and thank you for sharing your project (sorry for my english).
Well… I’m new in Android and Java but i would like to learn development for Android devices.
So I’ve installed Eclipse Indigo and SDK Android and plug-in and… and downloaded your source code to see how it works.
But in Eclipse there are many errors and the program doesn’t seem to work for me.
First error is: “failed to load properties file for project speedtest”. So I’ve tried to fix proerties problems with Android tools but same thing.
have an idea for helping me.
Thank you in advance.
Regards.
Instead of importing with the Eclipse>File>Import menu, use the Eclipse>New>Android Project>Create Project from existing source.
It will warn you to use the import dialog, but ignore it. Using the import dialog will not connect all of the moving parts of the Android SDK to the project, and trying to do it manually with the “Configure Build Path” did not work in my case (same error, failed to load project properties.)
To make the application work, I:
1. Copied project-properties from an old project (may not be necessary)
2. in Res/values/string.xml, changed <string name="…" to <string formatted="false" name="…" where the errors were.
3. Added to the AndroidManifest.xml.
@pinky: Import existing Android Code Into Workspace then right click on project to Configure Build Path. When the new dialog show up, click on Android and choose the Project Build Target. Finally, just modify some code in string.xml follow Math above.
I got from u r blog for downloading internet speed is simply superb!!!!!!!
But i want how to get uploading internet speed …plz help..me.. put a point direction for me…
I have downloaded the source code and installed the speed test on my Nexus 5 running API 22. However when I click start test it says “Detecting…” and then it unexpectedly shuts down with out printing anything. The logcat says it’s an java.io.EOFException which possibly indicates that the file is empty. Any help regarding this issue would be appreciated.
Never mind. I resolved the issue. Turns out the file you provided doesn’t exist anymore on the server. I just replaced that with my own file that was hosted on dropbox.
I am new to Android as well and working on a app which will pull all network related info along with Cellular network upload and download speed. I downloaded the code using Eclipse ..But this will not resolve as it places few errors on Res –>Values–> Strings.xml file. anybody having the same issue while importing this project ?
Could you please provide some idea, how to do it with multiple threading to find out bandwidth of network, i am new programming so i didn’t find any way to measure bandwidth could you help me in this.
For testing uplink you will ftp,sftp etc.. server where you can upload data and then track that that information. For security reasons I can’t offer that as bunch of Iranians,Russians and and other have been killing my server with just downloading.
I might, I will be posting code in couple days, most likely on github.
Thank you so much, learned a lot from this, Greg! Just wondering, are you implementing upload speeds anytime soon? If not, could you point me in a direction as to where to start?
nice application!!!!!!!!!
You Rock…
Its a nice application.
How can i get the upload speed in application?
Its Best tutorial for SpeedTest Application. Really Nice…keep it up…!!!

HI,
If instead of showing speed in textview i want to display it in a real time line chart in same application.Can you pls help.
I cannot import this source file. says errors during the build. Can you tell me some method to do so.
Can you post your error.
I will upload the eclipse project in next couple days.
Could you upload the speedtest project.
Thank you so much
Thanks for share code, Really nice code.
I want to develop speedtest server and android application. Being a newbie in this domain, i have few queries:
Which Programming language is best / easy to get it done?
Above source code is for android app only or server side setting as well?
Thanks.
This is for the client side only, it should not be hard to develop something for the server side.
i wish if you have a upload speed test app available.
I will upload it tonight,.
how to get source code for speedview in android ?
There is a link of top of the page that points to the download url
But here it is again Download
When I am using the built-in download manager. I can download 10mb file in 5s. But using the application , 828.125 kbit /sec .. ?
I am going to port the app this weekend and see what it does.
Hi,
Thanks for the code, its really very helpful.
But its for downloading speed, how to determine uploading speed.
Please help me
You have to go the other way, you simply upload a file to a know location.
Hi,
For different mobile its giving different downstream rate
Why is it?
Please help me
Hello
I am not really sure, need to look into that. I will post the code on github for all to make patches.
Hi,
I am not able to access code or apk file, it shows file at server is missing and i am not able to find GitHub link also, so if you can provide me.
I need to look that for my project.
Its back
The download link for source code is not working – Giving 404
http://www.gregbugaj.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/speedtest_src.zip
There was someone that was attacking my server so I took the downloads down but they are back now.
I have downloaded the source code and installed the speed test on my Nexus 5 running API 22. However when I click start test it says “Detecting…” and then it unexpectedly shuts down with out printing anything. The logcat says it’s an java.io.EOFException which possibly indicates that the file is empty. Any help regarding this issue would be appreciated.
Never mind. I resolved the issue. Turns out the file you provided doesn’t exist anymore on the server. I just replaced that with my own file that was hosted on dropbox.
Sorry about that, but I did have to remove the file as some people have been abusing it.
je vous remercie énormément pour votre aide plus que précieuse
think you for your help

Hi Greg ! Nice code for the speed test ! Do you have the UPLOAD SPEED sample code posted ?! Tks !
Sorry, I do not have at the moment.
After I port the app I will add it in.
Hello Greg,
Amazing code,helped a lot..Thanks!!..Just a request could you please provide a code for the UPLOAD speed?
It would be great..
Application Showing The Same Result All The Time
What Ever Network We Are On .. It Shows 3G As Network

Thanks, its only for Android. I am working on porting code and putting it on Github
Thank you so much. It helps me a lot.
Thank you so much, learned a lot from this, Greg! Just wondering, are you implementing upload speeds anytime soon? If not, could you point me in a direction as to where to start?
Hello
I might work on adding it after I finish my current project.
waiting for the upload part …
The results do not match with the SpeedTest app… Please help.
uploading part
Have you did upload part OR any suggestion how to start?
