Are you sure the tor binary is not still running?

check:

adb shell
ps

and look for "tor" running under /data/data/org.torproject.android

FYI - has been working fine for me with a number of implementations of OnionKit, so just confused a bit what is going on :)

#3 Updated by vanevery almost 5 years ago

Sorry, yes, you are correct, there are processes running. I was a bit confused as I thought that I quit Orbot but I hadn't actually done so.

Unfortunately, while this tells me that it is running running it doesn't tell me if I am connected via Tor. Is there an easy way to do that?

Perhaps a "boolean isToConnected()" method?

This is another issue I am sure but on my device, Orbot says it is connected but clearly it isn't (as I don't have network connectivity). This follows a long period of time where it never seemed to establish a connection despite network conditions. That was cleared up by a reinstall.

I think OrbotHelper.isOrbotRunning() is the best that we can provide right now. That's included.
