Hi

The following function , works properly for android builds, but not for iOS builds. What could be the issue?

function checkConnection()
{
    network = navigator.network.connection.type;    
    var states = {};
    states[Connection.UNKNOWN]  = 'Unknown connection';
    states[Connection.ETHERNET] = 'Ethernet connection';
    states[Connection.WIFI]     = 'WiFi connection';
    states[Connection.CELL_2G]  = 'Cell 2G connection';
    states[Connection.CELL_3G]  = 'Cell 3G connection';
    states[Connection.CELL_4G]  = 'Cell 4G connection';
    states[Connection.NONE]     = 'No network connection';
    
    alert('Connection type: ' + states[network]);
}

Thanks.

1) What version of MobiOne are you using?

2) If you are using MobiOne 2.5M1 what version of Cordova are you using?

3) What ios device and OS version are you testing?

4) Are you waiting for the the deviceready callback before using the cordova api?

Hi

1. I am using MobiOne 2.3.2
2. No separate cordova.js has been included. In android the built in version worked properly.
3. ipad version 6.1
4. yes the checking is done after ondeviceready callback.

Is the ipad support cellular (3G/4G) connectivity or is it only wifi support?

[upasana]

Hi upasana,

Can you share more details about what is the problem or error message that you get? does it fail to show alert, shows alert with incorrect message, etc? one or two screenshots would be helpful too.

Hi

I have attached the source files. The apk is also there that works perfectly on android. But on iOS compilation the same thing does not work.

Thanks

/**

 * Perform custom prescreen-transition logic here.
 * @param {String} currentScreenId 
 * @param {String} targetScreenId 
 * @returns {boolean} true to continue transtion; false to halt transition
 */
phoneui.prePageTransition = function(currentScreenId,targetScreenId){
    // add custom pre-transition code here
  // return false to terminate transition
  return true;
}

/**
 * Notification that the UI has transitioned to a new screen.
 * 
 * @param {String} newScreenId 
 */
phoneui.postPageTransition = function(newScreenId) {
  
}

/**
 * Notification that device orientation has changed. 
 * 
 * @param {String} newOrientation 
 */
phoneui.postOrientationChange = function(newOrientation) {
  
}

/**

 */
  
phoneui.documentReadyHandler = function() 
{
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
}
function onDeviceReady() {
checkConnection();

        var networkState = navigator.connection.type;
        var states = {};
        states[Connection.UNKNOWN]  = 'Unknown connection';

        states[Connection.CELL_3G]  = 'Cell 3G connection';
        states[Connection.CELL_4G]  = 'Cell 4G connection';
        states[Connection.NONE]     = 'No network connection';

}

Thanks for sharing the example project.

The navigator.app.loadUrl() is not a cross platform api. It was only implemented on android. See the following info and there are many other references to the same issue:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13803020/navigator-app-undefined

In the latest MobiOne 2.5 milestone-1 you have access to Cordova/PhoneGap 2.9 which includes the cross platform InAppBrowser api.

I also successfully retested the navigator.connection api from you example on ipad1/ios4.3(wifi only) and iphone5/ios6.
