Check internet connection state and app installed

[Leonardo Augusto]

Hello devs ! Does anyone knows how can i check the internet connection before the command bellow?
Example i want to show an alert , "No internet connection available"
or check if facebook is installed " “The Facebook app is not available on your device”

I’m using PhoneGap Social Sharing plugin and visual studio
https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/SocialSharing-PhoneGap-Plugin

 <div class="action-label" onclick="window.plugins.socialsharing.shareViaFacebook('hi my custom message to share ', null /* img */,  ' http://www.mywebsite.com/' /* url */, function () { console.log('share ok') }, function (errormsg) { alert(errormsg) })">

I haven’t tested this personally, but you should be able to use window.navigator.offline below is the reference doc link:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/NavigatorOnLine/onLine

Here is how to test this periodically with a JSFiddle:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17377579/how-to-check-internet-connection-in-phonegap-periodically

Here is the code for jQuery but should be adaptable to JS or Angular:

var connectionStatus = false;

$(document).on('pagebeforeshow', '#index', function () {
    setInterval(function () {
        connectionStatus = navigator.onLine ? 'online' : 'offline';
    }, 100);
    $(document).on('click', '#check-connection', function () {
        alert(connectionStatus);
    });
});

Thanks . I’ll check your tip now. Looking for the documents of this plugin , i found

If Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, SMS or Email is not available, the errorCallback is called with the text ‘not available’.

But i’m not receiving … not available

But this message

Unfortunately, I am not familiar with that plugin. I would recommend posting to their help section for specifics with the error.

The plugin developer told me .

If you use shareViaSMS, shareViaEmail, etc you’ll get ‘not available’ as the doc says, but if you do shareVia or canShareVia the plugin will respond with what you found; a list of packages you can share to instead

So this is the solution.

@Leonardo-Augusto Awesome! Glad you were able to get a solution.

[Leonardo Augusto]

@munsterlander yes thanks . I’ve sent you an e-mail

[munsterlander]

@Leonardo-Augusto Hmm, I haven’t received it. Was it the reply to mine or a new one to my cfuze account? Either way, thank you again for any insight!

P.S., you wouldn’t be a Java or cordova plugin expert would you?
