Though 4.2.x API does not show COVERAGE_BIS_B as a constant in the CoverageInfo class, it is actually there, so that part of the code should both compile and work.

You may however need to change the COVERAGE_DIRECT to COVERAGE_CARRIER (There is no difference, both of them have the same value 1)

Hi adwiv.

I am trying your code. But I need your support. 

In your code, IOPreferences.getPreferredConnectionType() method not exists.

I think this method is very important to detect the connection.

So, can you post this method ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Raiden,

IOPreferences is a user preferences class where users can define their preferred connection method. For example, some people prefer to use the TCP/IP instead of going through the MDS or if the office MDS goes through a proxy.

The getPreferredConnectionType() method would return the preferred connection if set. You may need to setup a screen where the user can change this. It is only useful if you want to give people a choice

Sorry, but what does it mean by XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ?

case CONNECTION_BIS:
                    url = url + ";XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
                    break;

That is the connection suffix for BIS-B kept secret..

Hi Adwiv.

I've reviewed your code. There is an interesting code following as :

if (requestHeaders != null) {
String referer = requestHeaders.getPropertyValue("referer");

boolean sendReferrer = true;

if (referer != null &&

StringUtilities.startsWithIgnoreCase(referer, "https:") &&

!StringUtilities.startsWithIgnoreCase(url, "https:")) {
sendReferrer = false;
}

int size = requestHeaders.size();
for (int i = 0; i < size {
String header = requestHeaders.getPropertyKey(i);
// remove header if needed
if (!sendReferrer && header.equals("referer")) {
requestHeaders.removeProperty(i);
--size;
continue;
}

String value = requestHeaders.getPropertyValue(i++);
if (value != null) {
conn.setRequestProperty(header, value);
}
}
}

Does need this setting property code necessarily to create HTTP connection ?

How to infect for the connection ?

Thanks man.

"Wifi for free in a BES device, will only occur, when the Wi-Fi can connect back to the home BES.  So to get Wi-Fi, you must have an active wireless (SIM card) connection.  This will contact the BES, and then the Wi-Fi will also try to connect the BES.  If it can get through (which in most circumstances, will mean that the Wi-Fi network is within the corporate network) then the device will swap to using Wi-Fi for everything."

To clarify what you mentioned, the device will swap to using Wi-Fi only for the new connections the device will make. For the existing connections, the communication will NOT swap to Wi-Fi. For these connections, if you prefer Wi-Fi, you explicitly need to close these connections. And then, open them again. Am I correct?

Hi Raiden,

In most cases, request headers are not used and we can skip this block of code completely. It would only be necessary if we want to pass some custom headers in the request, which is often not the case.

Cheers.

OK. I have this stupid 'localhost' question: "Why does it work for me?"
I have some web service runnig on my machine. I can access it (back and forth) through ksoap2 using http://localhost/temprconvert/servicetest.asmx as url, no suffix/prefix added.
I also can access it through web browser, I see services available, but response page is not rendered by some reason(?)
So why is this all possible?
I use(d) simulator (+ MDS-CS, of course) for all this 'tricks'.
