Network security policy.
Network stacks/components should honor this policy to make it possible to centrally control the relevant aspects of network security behavior.
The policy currently consists of a single flag: whether cleartext network traffic is
permitted. See isCleartextTrafficPermitted().

boolean isCleartextTrafficPermitted (String hostname)

boolean isCleartextTrafficPermitted ()
Returns whether cleartext network traffic (e.g. HTTP, FTP, WebSockets, XMPP, IMAP, SMTP -- without TLS or STARTTLS) is permitted for all network communication from this process.
When cleartext network traffic is not permitted, the platform's components (e.g. HTTP and
FTP stacks, DownloadManager, MediaPlayer) will
refuse this process's requests to use cleartext traffic. Third-party libraries are strongly
encouraged to honor this setting as well.
This flag is honored on a best effort basis because it's impossible to prevent all
cleartext traffic from Android applications given the level of access provided to them. For
example, there's no expectation that the Socket API will honor this flag
because it cannot determine whether its traffic is in cleartext. However, most network
traffic from applications is handled by higher-level network stacks/components which can
honor this aspect of the policy.
NOTE: WebView does not honor this flag.
