Hi,

Is there a way how to perform the network/connectivity check?

Hi,

could you please clarify what you mean with network/connectivity check, so we can better understand the question ?

Thank you,

Hi,

In the application I would welcome the function that checks if the Internet connectivity is available and a function, which informs me back via callback when the connectivity is lost.

Hi,

Internet connectivity is needed to load the application at start up, so it is assumed that connectivity is present when the application runs.
There isn't a specific way for an application to check for connectivity.

Thank you,

Hi,

That is true during the application startup, but not during using of it. Considering the quality of connection in some areas, especially when all TVs starts to use the WiFi instead of cables it would be much appreciated and possibly good step towards users having possibility for being informed about the network adapter problems (no wire, lost signal) and Internet connectivity issues (DNS unreachable, etc.)

I believe what mautilus is looking for is the equivalent of the Samsung SDK functions that provide the following functionality:

1) Get active connection type - wired or wireless
2) Check physical connection of current interface
3) Check HTTP transport

The following doesn't really do what you require but a work around is to implement a kind of pseudo-ping functionality and keeping 'pinging' www.google.com, for example.
