I am working with Phonegap. I need to check the network connection periodically. Actually I am getting some data from a server. If there is no connection, I need to show an error alert.
I googled it and found the solution. But it is not ok. Because I need to check the connection periodically.
<html>
<head>
<title>navigator.network.connection.type Example</title>
<script type=text/javascript charset=utf-8 src=phonegap-1.0.0.js></script>
<script type=text/javascript charset=utf-8>
// Wait for PhoneGap to load
document.addEventListener(deviceready, onDeviceReady, false);
function onDeviceReady() {
checkConnection();
}
function checkConnection() {
var networkState = 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[networkState]);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>A dialog box will report the network state.</p>
</body>
</html>
It check only the first time when the application launches. But I need to check it periodically, because I am doing socket programming. If there is a problem with internet, I need to show it. But this code only shows at launch time.
