Sorry for referring to app inventor, but i'm coming from there, and it's easier if i show you. http://goo.gl/gRKmDA With the code you see i was able to tell the app before opening the screen to check for internet if there was than continue to open the app, if there is no internet than a message would tell the user to activate it or use wifi. because currently if i make an app that requires internet on the 1st screen and internet is off it will tell me: Something's not right error loading screen? the application had trouble understanding what to display with an option to hit ok, and once you hit ok it will say: webpage not available

I use these routines for my stuff, if I need to do things like that... Android: ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// private boolean isNetworkAvailable() { ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE); NetworkInfo activeNetworkInfo = connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo(); BT_debugger.showIt(activityName + ":isNetworkAvailable = " + activeNetworkInfo); return activeNetworkInfo != null; } ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// iOS: -(BOOL) canReach { Reachability *r = [Reachability reachabilityWithHostName:@"m.google.com"]; NetworkStatus internetStatus = [r currentReachabilityStatus]; if(internetStatus == NotReachable){ // no connection return false; }else{ // connection return true; } } Hope this can help. Cheers! -- Smug

Would you explain where would I put that and what does it do? for android.

What does it do? I checks to see if you're connected to the internet. ;) Paste this in your plugin, outside of any other method in the class: private boolean isNetworkAvailable() { ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) this.getActivity().getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE); NetworkInfo activeNetworkInfo = connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo(); BT_debugger.showIt(fragmentName + ":isNetworkAvailable = " + activeNetworkInfo); return activeNetworkInfo != null; } Then, somewhere in the "onCreateView" method, you would want to alert the user if they were not connected, or perhaps do something... then you would use an 'if' statement, to 'test' the connection... like this: boolean connectedToInternet = isNetworkAvailable(); if(connectedToInternet) { showToast("Connected to the Internet", "short"); } else { showToast("Not connected to the Internet", "short"); } If you are not comfortable working with code, you might ask Dusko, our resident Android 'gun for hire' if he is available to work with you on getting it done. He usually has reasonable rates and does a pretty quick job. Cheers! -- Smug If your project explodes in red (errors) it's probably because you'll need to 'import' header files for some of the system calls in the method. import android.content.Context; import android.net.ConnectivityManager; import android.net.NetworkInfo;

Ok thanks, good to know that there is a 'gun for hire'
