Issue with getting connection state.

[RyanShay]

I have a splash page, which only has a single image on it.

On load, I have the following custom JS:

alert('test');
//var type = navigator.network.connection.type;
//alert(type);

The "test" alert works, if I comment out the two lines for the type.
If I attempt to get the connection type by uncommenting the last two lines, the page just hangs on a white screen and nothing happens.

I have only tested this in the Tiggzi Tester for iPhone as I cannot get the one for Android to work. (posted a separate topic for that).

I'm happy to provide any additional info that is needed.

Thanks!

Hmm...I just tried this on Android and it worked.

That's odd, not working on my Droid either. Android 2.2. I just get the white page.
I'm using the blank app I added to test the other Android issue, the only thing on the project is the single initial screen with a Load event to run the custom js:

alert(navigator.network.connection.type);

Does this need to be inside a function, or be watching the onDeviceReady before trying to alert?

[RyanShay]

Sorry to waste your time Max. Answered my own question. The following does work:

document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);

function onDeviceReady(){
alert(navigator.network.connection.type);
}

Onload is too early, PhoneGap hasn't loaded yet. If you look under Events tab, there is ondeviceready event you can use.
