How to get the active connection connection type

[kumarkkk]

Hi All,

How to get the active connection connection type(I.e WLAN or GPRS).
In my application by using the below code i am trying to connect with the default active access point.
It is working fine. But my doubt is when more then one active connection are there(e.g, Two GPRS and one WLAN Connection) means how i will get connection type.And in my application i want to use WLAN connection only.
Here is my code.


//Open a session with the socket server
RSocketServ socketServer;

TInt err (KErrNone);
err = socketServer.Connect ();

if ( err != KErrNone)
{
return;
}

LOGTXT( "Socket opened successfully" );

//Open a subsession with the socket server for the RConnectionT
RConnection myConnection;
err = myConnection.Open (socketServer);

if ( err != KErrNone)
{
return;
}



TUint connectionCount;
//Enumerate currently active connections across all socket servers
User::LeaveIfError (myConnection.EnumerateConnections (connectionCount));


if ( connectionCount)
{
TPckgBuf<TConnectionInfoV2> connectionInfo;
for (TUint i = 1; i <= connectionCount; ++i)
{
myConnection.GetConnectionInfo (i, connectionInfo);
TInt iAccessPointId;
iAccessPointId = connectionInfo ().iIapId;

}
}

And i tried to get the connection type by using this code:
_LIT( KIAPNetworkType, "IAP\\IAPNetworkType");
TBuf<100> name;
myConnection.GetDesSetting(KIAPNetworkType,name );
But i did get any thing form this code.
Can any body please help me on this issue.

Thanks,
kumarkk.

The below article shows you a link to establish WLAN connection API.

WLAN

Compare your code with the given code in the article...

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.
I already checked the link ,this is used to detect wlan indicator is there are not and to get device default mac address.
and how i will use this code in my application. But my dough is how to know connection type of active connection.
can any body suggest sample code please.

Thanks,

RConnectionMonitor can tell you the parameters of active connections. GetIntAttribute+KBearer in particular.

[kumarkkk]

I tried the code by using RConnectionMonitor,d here is my code
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
RConnectionMonitor iConnMonitor;
iConnMonitor.ConnectL ();
//Open a session with the socket server
RSocketServ socketServer;

TInt err (KErrNone);
err = socketServer.Connect ();

if ( err != KErrNone)
{
return;
}

LOGTXT( "Socket opened successfully" );

//Open a subsession with the socket server for the RConnectionT
RConnection myConnection;
err = myConnection.Open (socketServer);

if ( err != KErrNone)
{
return;
}



TUint connectionCount;
//Enumerate currently active connections across all socket servers
User::LeaveIfError (myConnection.EnumerateConnections (connectionCount));


if ( connectionCount)
{
TPckgBuf<TConnectionInfoV2> connectionInfo;
for (TUint i = 1; i <= connectionCount; ++i)
{
myConnection.GetConnectionInfo (i, connectionInfo);
TInt iAccessPointId;
iAccessPointId = connectionInfo ().iIapId;
TRequestStatus status;
TConnMonBearerType iConnectionType;
iConnMonitor.GetIntAttribute(iAccessPointId,0,KBearer,(TInt&)iConnectionType,status);
LOGARG("iConnectionType value in rconnection::%d",iConnectionType);

}
}
iConnMonitor.Close ();
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
And here iConnectionType value i am getting is 7429123.So how to compare iConnectionType
with TConnMonBearerType values(they are in 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8).
So can plz u suggest how compare the values.

Thanks,
kumarkk.

just bumbing here to give a link to a wiki exmaple that migth help: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...on_Example.zip

Do not mix RConnection and RConnectionMonitor, they work independently.
Use RConnectionMonitor::GetConnectionCount+RConnectionMonitor::GetConnectionInfo in order to find out the first argument for GetXyAttribute.

hi,
As u said i changed the code and tried like this .here is my code.

RConnectionMonitor Monitor;
TInt iAccessPointId ;
Monitor.ConnectL ();
// get number of active connections
TUint count;
TRequestStatus status;

Monitor.GetConnectionCount( count, status );
LOGARG("GetConnectionCount value in rconnection::%d",count);
User::WaitForRequest( status );
if ( status.Int() != KErrNone )
{
// error
}
TUint ID;
TUint aSubConnectionCount;
Monitor.GetConnectionInfo(1,ID,aSubConnectionCount);
LOGARG("GetConnectionInfo value in rconnection::%d",ID);
iAccessPointId = ID;
TInt iConnectionType;
Monitor.GetIntAttribute(ID,0,KBearer,iConnectionType,status);
LOGARG("GetIntAttribute value in rconnection::%d",iConnectionType);
Monitor.Close ();
and the output iam getting like this
GetConnectionCount value in rconnection::-120152383
GetConnectionInfo value in rconnection::1
GetIntAttribute value in rconnection::7382596.
How i will compare this value with EBearerWLAN.
can u pls tell me.

Thanks,
kumarkkk.

Remember that GetIntAttribute is an asynchronous service.

Hi,


So any body have solution for this problem( I.e how to get the connection type of active connection).
Is there any other way to get connection type.
please suggest .


Thanks,
kumarkk.

[wizard_hu_]

I have suggested already.

Monitor.GetIntAttribute(ID,0,KBearer,iConnectionType,status);
User::WaitForRequest(status);
LOGARG("GetIntAttribute value in rconnection::%d",iConnectionType);

Hi,
Thanks for u reply i got the solution.

Thanks,
