Detailed Description

This element is part of the QtMobility.systeminfo 1.1 module. It is a convience class to make QML usage easier.

Note: To use notification signals, you need to set the monitor* properties to true.

The follow table lists the \b incompatible changes made to the start* functions from QtMobility 1.1 to QtMobility 1.2, where they became Q_PROPERTY

In QtMobility 1.2, the NetworkInfo Element was changed to work in one network mode at a time. You use the property \b mode to set which network mode it is in.

QtMobility 1.1 QtMobility 1.2 Notes
slot void startStatusChanged(); void startStatusChanged(bool on); Became Q_PROPERTY monitoringStatusChanges in QtMobility 1.2
void startSignalStrengthChanged(); void startSignalStrengthChanged(bool) Became Q_PROPERTY monitorSignalStrengthChanges in QtMobility 1.2
void startNameChanged() void startNameChanged(bool on) Became Q_PROPERTY monitorNameChanges in QtMobility 1.2
void startModeChanged() void startModeChanged(bool on) Became Q_PROPERTY monitorModeChanges in QtMobility 1.2
void startCurrentMobileCountryCodeChanged() void startCurrentMobileCountryCodeChanged(bool on) Became Q_PROPERTY monitorCurrentMobileCountryCodeChanges in QtMobility 1.2
void startCurrentMobileNetworkCodeChanged() void startCurrentMobileNetworkCodeChanged(bool on) Became Q_PROPERTY startCurrentMobileNetworkCodeChanged in QtMobility 1.2
void useMode(); void mode() Became Q_PROPERTY mode in QtMobility 1.2

Example new usage:

QtMobility 1.2:

   NetworkInfo {
       id: wlaninfo
       mode: NetworkInfo.WlanMode;


       monitorNameChanges: true;
       monitorSignalStrengthChanges: true
       monitorStatusChanges: true
       monitorModeChanges: true

       onStatusChanged : {
           img = getImage(newStatus)
       }
 }

To use this in a mode other than the default mode given by currentMode, set the mode with mode.

 import Qt 4.7
 import QtMobility.systeminfo 1.1

 Rectangle {

     NetworkInfo {
         id: wlaninfo
         mode: NetworkInfo.WlanMode;
         monitorNameChanges: true
         monitorSignalStrengthChanges: true
     }
     Text {
         id: signame
         color: "white"
         text:  wlaninfo.networkName +" "+wlaninfo.networkSignalStrength;
         anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter;
         anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter;
     }
 }

Property Documentation

macAddress : string

Returns this NetworkInfo's network interface's MAC address.

This property group was introduced in Mobility 1.1.


mode : enumeration

Sets this NetworkInfo to use QSystemNetworkInfo::NetworkModes. Does not set the mode of the underlaying system.

If not set, the default is whatever defaultMode is.

This property group was introduced in Mobility 1.1.


monitorCurrentMobileNetworkCodeChanges : bool

This property group was introduced in Mobility 1.2.


monitorModeChanges : bool

This property group was introduced in Mobility 1.2.


monitorNameChanges : bool

This property group was introduced in Mobility 1.2.


monitorSignalStrengthChanges : bool

This property group was introduced in Mobility 1.2.


monitorStatusChanges : bool

This property group was introduced in Mobility 1.2.


monitoringCellDataTechnologyChanges : bool

This property group was introduced in Mobility 1.2.

See also QSystemNetworkInfo::cellDataTechnologyChanged.


monitoringCellIdChanges : bool

This property group was introduced in Mobility 1.2.


monitoringCurrentMobileCountryCodeChanges : bool

This property group was introduced in Mobility 1.2.


networkName : string

Returns this NetworkInfo's network name.

This property group was introduced in Mobility 1.1.


networkSignalStrength : int

Returns this NetworkInfo's network signal strength.

This property group was introduced in Mobility 1.1.


networkStatus : string

Returns this NetworkInfo's network status.

The following table shows the mapping between the NetworkInfo NetworkStatus property and the QSystemNetworkInfo::NetworkStatus enum.

NetworkInfo.networkStatus QSystemNetworkInfo::NetworkStatus
"Undefined" QSystemNetworkInfo::UndefinedStatus
"No Network Available" QSystemNetworkInfo::NoNetworkAvailable
"Emergency Only" QSystemNetworkInfo::EmergencyOnly
"Searching" QSystemNetworkInfo::Searching
"Busy" QSystemNetworkInfo::Busy
"Connected" QSystemNetworkInfo::Connected
"Home Network" QSystemNetworkInfo::HomeNetwork
"Denied" QSystemNetworkInfo::Denied
"Roaming" QSystemNetworkInfo::Roaming

This property group was introduced in Mobility 1.1.


Signal Documentation

NetworkInfo::modeChanged ()

This handler is called when the systems default network mode has changed. Note: To receive this notification, you must first call startModeChanged.

This documentation was introduced in Mobility 1.1.


NetworkInfo::nameChanged ()

This handler is called when network name has changed. Note: To receive this notification, you must first call startNameChanged.
