Hi!

I am writing a very simple utility in which I need to check if a network
connection is currently established or not. For example if wifi or data
connection is connected. At the same time I would also like to know if I
can use a signal for change in network connectivity e.g. when wifi is
connected/disconnected or when data connection is connected/disconnected.

Right now I only care about the connection establishment and not really
about if there is internet connectivity. I can of course check that by
pinging a server

Any code samples would help largely.

Thanks!


The Ubuntu.Connectivity api should provide what your looking for. Seems the docs haven't been updated on d.u.c with the recent changes, but you can see the available network properties here http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~indicator-applet-developers/indicator-network/trunk/view/head:/src/connectivity-api/connectivity-qt/connectivityqt/connectivity.h
