[solved][iOS][Qt 5.4] QNetworkConfiguration, get bearer type not working

[kolegs]

Hey,

I got a problem with getting bearer type from QNetworkConfiguration class on iOS, not sure if I'm missing some permissions for my app or it just simply is not working.

I try to get information if the user is connected to the internet by WLAN or 3G but the only thing I get is active configurations, the type is always Unknown.

the code below:
@QNetworkConfigurationManager a;
QList<QNetworkConfiguration> ttt = a.allConfigurations();
for(int i = 0 ; i < ttt.count(); i++)
{
if(ttt.at(i).state() & (0x8))
qDebug() << "ACTIVE:" << ttt.at(i).bearerTypeName() << ttt.at(i).bearerType();
else
qDebug() << "INACTIVE:" << ttt.at(i).bearerTypeName() --<< ttt.at(i).bearerType();
}@

On my iPad it discovers 2 active interfaces and 1 inactive but all of them are unknown.

Any solutions? Do I need to use Objective-C to get this?

Hi,

I know it might be a silly question but, are you using a real device or the iOS simulator ?

[kolegs]

Real device, as I said its ipad mini

[metzgore]

Have you found a solution for your problem? I'm having the same and I don't want to use Objective-C if it works straight with Qt.

[kolegs]

I couldn't figure it out, how to deal with the problem using Qt, so I was forced to use Objective-C. Its rather easy.

[metzgore]

Could you post some example?
Currently I'm trying to resolve my issue by using Reachability.h and Reachability.m which are metioned here, but I can't get it to work.

[kolegs]

Sure, I got one class in objective-C and one parser between objective-c and cpp.

First object-C code to get what you want(reachability.m):

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

and myobject-c-interface.h

#ifndef __MYOBJECT_C_INTERFACE_H__
#define __MYOBJECT_C_INTERFACE_H__

class MyClassImpl

    ~MyClassImpl( void );

    void init( void );
    int  doSomethingWith( void * aParameter );
    void logMyMessage( char * aCStr );

private:
    void * self;
};

#endif

Now you only need to include myobject-c-interface.h
and use the function int doSomethingWith( void * aParameter );

I know its not ideal but doest works and needs to refractor some names, but I used it only a few times.
It only discovers if the phone is connected through 3g/4g(1) or wifi(0), or its disconnected(-1).

Worked like a charm, thank you very much. :)
