Trying my hands on writing Blackberry Webworks plugins. I want to check the network status while on the "server" side of the cordova plugin. How do I add the network info API org.apache.cordova.network-information so it'll be available in my plugin? I get the network-info to work if I use it in an app, but don't know how to make it work at my plugin level.
I tried adding <dependency id="org.apache.cordova.network-information" /> or
<feature name="NetworkStatus"> <param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.networkinformation.NetworkManager" /> </feature>
in plugin.xml but neither works. Using the <dependency> tag will make Webworks automatically include the network-info in the app build and install, but navigator.connection is still undefined at the plugin server-side level. Help please!
Ok I figured out. Forget about using another pluging in my plugin.
The only line needed is window.qnx.webplatform.device.activeConnection, which is defined whenever there is an active connection and can be used to check connection type.
The network plugin org.apache.cordova.network-information is basically using that same call on the server side.
