#include <QtopiaNetwork>
This class provides static convinience functions for various network parameter.
In general it allows the managing of existing network configurations. The managment functions include the starting and stopping of interfaces and other functions which may be useful for applications which monitor the connectivity state of the Qtopia device.
This enum is used to describe the type of a network connection.
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| QtopiaNetwork::LAN | 0x0001 | Ethernet based network |
| QtopiaNetwork::WirelessLAN | 0x0002 | Wireless network |
| QtopiaNetwork::Dialup | 0x0004 | The connection is established via a dial-up connection |
| QtopiaNetwork::GPRS | 0x0008 | The connection is established via GPRS |
| QtopiaNetwork::Bluetooth | 0x0010 | The network is based on bluetooth |
| QtopiaNetwork::Any | 0xFFFF | A place holder for any arbitrary network type. |
These sub types are used in conjunction with QtopiaNetwork::GPRS and QtopiaNetwork::Dialup only:
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| QtopiaNetwork::PhoneModem | The network connection is established via the internal phone modem (this flag is defined for Qtopia Phone Edition only). | |
| QtopiaNetwork::NamedModem | 0x0200 | A serial network connection using a specific device such as /dev/ttyS0 is established. The device name is given in the configuration file. |
These sub types specify the type of the external device which is used to establish the connection.
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| QtopiaNetwork::PCMCIA | 0x0400 | The network device is an attached PCMCIA card |
The Type type is a typedef for QFlags<TypeFlag>. It stores an OR combination of TypeFlag values.
Returns a list of file names (absolute path). These file names point to QSettings files which contain the settings for all known QtopiaNetworkInterfaces of type t. path specifies the directory where the lookup takes place.
If t is Any it returns all known NetworkInterfaces. If path is empty the lookup will take place in settingsDir().
Loads the appropriate network plugin for the configuration in confFile.
Returns true if any known network interface is online/connected. This can be used to check the general connectivity status of the Qtopia environment.
Dynamic state updates can be obtained by subscribing to "QPE/Network" channel. Whenever the network state changes to either online and offline the "up()" and "down()" are sent respectively.
Sets the network interface defined by confFile as default gateway. If the device is connected to more than one network at a time this can be used to choose a preferred network for data transfers.
Returns the default directory for network interface configurations.
Stops all active network interfaces.
Requests that the network interface defined by confFile be started.
options is used internally by some network plugins. It allows to specify additional parameters which are specific to particular network plugins. Otherwise this parameter can safely be ignored.
Stops the network interface defined by confFile. If deleteIface is true the server will delete any reference to and configuration information about this interface.
Returns the type of network interface defined by confFile.
If excludeInterface is true the Qtopia network will set the default gateway to an interface that is not equal to confFile. This is useful if confFile goes offline and the caller doesn't care what interface should become the new default gateway. If excludeInterface is false the given confFile becomes the new default gateway.
