Set Default access point - New thread

[kambamsu]

Hi,
I'm facing a problem with regards to setting the default access point. Initially when i set it for the main thread, its all fine. But when i spawn a new thread to do a little work, the access point which was set initially doesn't seem to apply to the second thread. Also, when i try to do a socket.set_default_access_point in the second thread, my app hangs. I'm not sure how to proceed with this.

Any help/suggestions is appreciated.

Thanks

hello kambamsu

i guess that you are using some appuifw framework classes which is causing the thread to get hanged up. So use something which is not using the appuifw class in any manner.

If you can show the code for setting default access point i can make you understand that even better.

sock = socket.access_point(socket.select_access_point())
socket.set_default_access_point(sock)

That is all i use. It seems pretty simple and basic.

ok have you gone through this thread a helpful one , but if you are using in thread then dont use the appuifw based function that will hand the script instead try using Globalui class i have checked that doesnt hang up the script.

I went through that thread, but the solution suggested there still seems to hang my app. By using globalui, do u mean I replace all my ui components with globalui instead of appuifw ? The ones running in my main thread too?

Oh..i guess that wouldn't be possible for me. I already have a 2k line script using appuifw. Is there no other way to avoid this?

hello kambamsu

sorry but AFAIK if you are using appuifw with threads than it will definetly hang your script, now i am out of suggestions for you.

What works for me is the following:

1. Query for available access points
2. Present a list to the user to select a default access point (don't use the built in method, just build one yourself)
3. remember the choice
4. Set default access point based on the user choice

Now in your thread you can access the ap object that the user chose and just set it again as default access point.

Hope it helps
