Mobility 1.1 and BearerType

[SimonJudge]

I am trying to find out the bearer type on Symbian^3 (Nokia C7)...

@QNetworkConfigurationManager manager;
QNetworkConfiguration configuration = manager.defaultConfiguration();
QNetworkConfiguration::BearerType bearerType = configuration.bearerType();@

This returns 0 for the bearerType which is BearerUnknown

Does this API actually work? I am using the Nokia Qt 1.1 Tech preview SDK with Qt and Mobility installed on the phone.

Thanks

did bearerTypeName() function also return empty string?
ps: can you also markup code with @ tag

[SimonJudge]

Yes, bearerTypeName() returns empty.
configuration.state() also returns 1 (= Undefined)

What Symbian capabilities does this require? I have NetworkServices ReadUserData.

Thanks

Also tried something else... this example http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/How_to_set_default_access_point_using_Qt_Mobility_APIs mentions using...

MOBILITY += bearer

When I add this, the compiler complains it no longer knows about the QNetworkxxx classes and when I add the QTM_USE_NAMESPACE
macros it's not recognised.

Thanks

The bearer api is deprecated. QNetworkaccessmanager now manages all connections itself. It has roaming support as well . Read QnetworkAccessmanager documentation for further info.

Where is it documented that the bearer api is deprecated? The documentation for QNetworkAccessManager (http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qnetworkaccessmanager.html) references QNetworkConfigurationManager (under the Network and Roaming support heading) so I doubt it is deprecated.

QNetworkaccessManager doesn't allow me to know if there is a WiFi connection. My app needs to do different things depending on the type of connection (WiFi vs Cellular).

When you compile you should be seeing this warning that Bearer api has been deprecated

[SimonJudge]

Ummm. I don't get any warning in the 'Compile Output' window of Creator when I compile for Qt Simulator or Simulator Device. This is with the Qt SDK Tech Preview 1.1.

Interestingly, I have found the QNetworkConfigurationManager does work under the simulator and returns a bearerTypeName of Ethernet. It's just on Symbian it doesn't work.

I think you should log a bug against this for symbian platform
