I'm updating an app, that needs to access a web service. It should be able to run both off- and online, so the primary objective is to detect net accessibility and optionally open the network connection dialog.

I have been trying different options, which all ended with no viable result, so before reinventing sliced bread, I'd like to check if I have missed something obvious.

import org.freedesktop.contextkit 1.0

ContextProperty {
    id: networkOnline
    key: 'Network.Online'
}

// use networkOnline.value

import Nemo.DBus 2.0

DBusInterface {
     service: 'com.jolla.lipstick.ConnectionSelector'
     path: '/'
     iface: 'com.jolla.lipstick.ConnectionSelectorIf'

    function openConnection() {
        call('openConnectionNow', 'wifi')
    }
}

I was right in guessing it would be something much easier than what I was trying to do 😃

Just to make double sure:

I check networkOnline.status
How do I call openConnection()? Can I give the DBusInterface an id and call like myDbus.openConnection()?
The call('openConnectionNow', 'wifi') - will it also offer to connect with mobile data?

And thanks for the swift reply @coderus

@Tanghus You can give an id and call like you said.

Just curious about @coderus answer , how to get/know all possible qml import statements that i can use in building sailfish os apps ? because i found it very difficult to know what all qml modules i can import and work with!
