checking internet connection [Solved]

[Jellobus]

Hi all,

Is there efficient way to check internet connectivity on mobile? here is my script but I am not sure if there is better way to do. I hope there is something simpler.

Code: Select all

local sBrowserId

on openCard
   checkInternetConnection
end openCard

on checkInternetConnection
   mobileControlCreate "browser"
   put the result into sBrowserId
   mobileControlSet sBrowserId, "visible", "false"
   mobileControlSet sBrowserId, "url", "https://www.google.com"
   mobileControlSet sBrowserId, "rect", the rect of current card
end checkInternetConnection

on browserFinishedLoading pUrl
   mobileControlDelete sBrowserId
   go to card "start"
end browserFinishedLoading

on browserLoadFailed pUrl, pError
   mobileControlDelete sBrowserId
   answer "Can't load server."&cr &"Please check internet connection."
end browserLoadFailed

It'll be appreciated if anyone can advice in this regard.

Cheers,

Louis

Hi Louis,

Something like the following should help out-

Code: Select all

command checkInternetConnection

put url "http://www.google.com" into tURL

if tURL is empty then
answer "It looks like you have no connection"
end if

end checkInternetConnection

Kind Regards,

Neil Roger

On Android this is locking the App up to 30 seconds...
