## Application Screens

- **Main Screen**: Displays real-time network information in a WebView, including:

- Network capabilities (e.g., signal strength, bandwidth, transport types).

- Link properties (e.g., interface name, DNS servers, DHCP details).

- Public IP addresses and associated metadata (when requested).

- NTP data, including server details and time offset (when requested).

- **Controls**: Features buttons to:

- **Save**: Stores the displayed network information as an HTML file in the Downloads directory.

- **Extra Data**: Fetches and displays public IP details and NTP data from external services.

- **Exit**: Closes the application cleanly, unregistering network callbacks.

## Supported Functionality

- **Network Types**: Monitors WiFi, cellular, Ethernet, Bluetooth, VPN, satellite, and more, with detailed capability flags (e.g., internet access, metered status).

- **File Format**: Saves data in HTML format, styled for readability with a dark background and clickable IP links.

- **External Integration**: Links to `iplocation.io` for IP details and queries `pool.ntp.org` for NTP data, ensuring accurate and up-to-date information.

## Notices

- **Permissions Required**:

- `INTERNET`: Necessary to fetch public IP addresses and NTP data from external servers.

- `ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE`: Required to monitor network connectivity and capabilities.

- `WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` (or MediaStore access): Needed to save HTML files to the Downloads directory.

- **Network Dependency**: Some features (e.g., public IP and NTP data) require an active internet connection. The app will display appropriate error messages if connectivity is lost.

- **Storage**: Saved HTML files are stored in the `Downloads` directory, accessible via the device’s file manager.
