How to detect an existing active data connection

[julie_777]

Is it possible to check for open connection after installation ? as the connection was opened before my app was installed I cannot rely on rconneciton monitor. So is there any other way to get the connection Id, and other details of an existing active connection

Why can not you use RConnectionMonitor ? I would assume GetConnectionCount would give you count, and GetConnectionInfo would give the info with zero based index..

yea you are right .. my mistake ..
what bout this
Is it possible to use an open connection to send data instead of opening new one ? , or is it like by default the system uses the existing one always ? in my case i saw the system using the already open one .. Is this a guaranteed behavior

I would suggest checking SDK docs: http://library.developer.nokia.com/ there appears to be an article called "Attaching to an existing RConnection connection: Tutorial", would think that it might shed some light to your question.

Yea its has some explanation ..
coming back to my original question .. what I found is that when a connection is open and if i browser uses the same open connection to browse no events are generated !! so rconnectionmonitor cannot give data related to the browsing session alone . it could give info about the long original session not the browsing one .. is there a workaround?

I do not see the connection on this question to the original one ? nor which part of the original question was not answered, so can you clarify what you want to do, and what have you tried sofar, and what it is that you would want to happen and what is actually happening..

RConnection::EnumerateConnections and RConnection::Attach are methods which you may want to check and locate usage examples for.
However observing actual traffic (of the browser or anything else) is not part of ready-made API-s.

Look this my code:

    RConnection connection;
    RSocketServ socketServ;
    TConnectionInfoBuf connInfo;


    socketServ.Connect();
    connection.Open(socketServ);

    TUint nConnection;
    if(connection.EnumerateConnections(nConnection)!=KErrNone)
    {
        return false;
    }



    for(TInt i=1;i<=nConnection;i++)
    {

        if(connection.GetConnectionInfo(i,connInfo)!=KErrNone)
        {
            return false;
        }
        if(connection.Attach(connInfo,RConnection::EAttachTypeNormal)!=KErrNone)
        {
            return false;
        }


      //here you can read connection information.


      connection.Close();

    }
