Blackbery getting notified when the internet connection is available.

Question

Hi there,

is there any way to know whether the net is connected or not in a blackbery device .I have the following code but it was waiting till the network timed out.

int rc = connection.getResponseCode();
if (rc != HttpConnection.HTTP_OK) {
 throw new IOException("HTTP response code: " + rc);
}

Is there any other way.

Answer 1

There are several API for getting network info:

RadioInfo.isDataServiceOperational();
CoverageInfo.isOutOfCoverage();
WLANInfo.getWLANState();

Answer 2

The title of this question has a different meaning than the body of the question. Based on the title, you can be notified when the network starts by using the RadioStatusListener interface, which defines a networkStarted() function. You could then use the checks that coldice recommends to make sure that the current network supports data transfer.
