standard.connectivity

Returns the type of network available for the device.

Syntax

ui.Interface.frontCall("standard", "connectivity",
   [], [result] )
  1. result - Holds the type of network available.

Usage

The "connectivity" front call checks for the best available network connectivity to the internet.

The returned result string can take one of the following values:

  • "NONE": No connectivity is available to the internet or the specified host.
  • "MobileNetwork": Connectivity is available via the standard mobile device network protocol (Edge, 3G, 4G, 5G, ...).
  • "WIFI": Connectivity is available via a WIFI network protocol.
  • "Undefined network": Connectivity is available, but the type of network protocol cannot be identified. Possibly the browser where GBC executes does not provide an API to get the connectivity network protocol.

On desktop, the front call will return "Undefined network" is it has online access, or "NONE"

Example

DEFINE network STRING
CALL ui.Interface.frontCall("standard", "connectivity", [], [network] )
IF network == "WIFI" THEN
   ...
END IF
