I have an Android device that's used for mobile testing. This device has cell connectivity and is separately connected to an ethernet cable (used for ADB).
How can I configure the Android device so that mobile data is used for internet connectivity and NOT the ethernet connection?
adb shell ifconfig
lists the active network interfaces:
eth0 Link encap:UNSPEC Driver r8152
inet addr:192.168.1.194 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

...
Looking to set rmnet_data0
(mobile data) to be the network interface used for internet instead of eth0
. Device can be rooted if needed.
