iphone SDK detect Wifi and Carrier network

Mina Mikhael picture Mina Mikhael · Oct 26, 2009 · Viewed 24.1k times · Source

my app accesses the internet and i just want to detect whether there is a connection either via wifi or via carrier data network or not

apple has made an example for that "Reachability"

https://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/samplecode/Reachability/

i think it just detects the wifi and not the carrier network

can anyone tell me, whats the best to be done to detect if there's a connection ( any type of connection )

Appreciate ur help!

That sample is exactly what you need.

Look at Reachability.m. it'll tell you whether you have any connection, and then tell you what kind of connection you have.
