Web and WebWorks Development

I am trying to determine if the device has connectivity to the internet (either to Wifi or a data network e.g. 3g)

However blackberry.system.hasDataCoverage is undefined

Development environment:

WebWorks 1.0.2.9

BB10 Dev Alpha B 10.0.9 Bundle 388

What is the correct way to check, without actually making a network request?

[bryanhiggins]

Try using blackberry.connection instead:

blackberry.connection.type !== blackberry.connection.NONE

I'll look into hasDataCoverage. I suspect the docs are not correct for BB10.

[bryanhiggins]

The docs are correct - this function is only available on BBOS and PlayBook

please use

navigator.online

[gautaml]

It's actually navigator.onLine (capital L)

But yes this works.  

Thanks!

There is a problem with the docs because the main code example for blackberry.system is

if (!blackberry.system.hasDataCoverage()) {
       alert("You are not in coverage, we will attempt to send later");
