I am developing android application using cordova and ionic framework,using network plugin from
here (https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-network-information). But the device ready alert fires off and then I get the the following error.
"TypeError: Cannot read property 'type' of undefined
Here is navigator object
navigator.connection.type
I will get error in following line.
use mine
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
// Cordova is ready
function onDeviceReady() {
checkConnection()
}
function checkConnection() {
networkState = navigator.connection.type;
var states = {};
states[Connection.UNKNOWN] = 'Unknown connection';
states[Connection.ETHERNET] = 'Ethernet connection';
states[Connection.WIFI] = 'WiFi connection';
states[Connection.CELL_2G] = 'Cell 2G connection';
states[Connection.CELL_3G] = 'Cell 3G connection';
states[Connection.CELL_4G] = 'Cell 4G connection';
states[Connection.CELL] = 'Cell generic connection';
states[Connection.NONE] = 'No network connection';
alert('Connection type: ' + states[networkState]);
}
For some reason, the navigator.connection object is not ready at the same time as cordova is.
You have to use a timeout, such as this one - designed for Angular/Ionic
setTimeout(function(){
var connection = connectionService.getConnection();
console.log("connection : "+connection);
$scope.connection = connection;
$scope.$apply()
}, 5000)
