This is an important part of programming a UIWebView iPhone App, the App Store will turn down your app if you cannot check for internet connectivity!
The code below checks for Internet connectivity (from Wi-Fi AND wireless network), and if there is no connection, we throw a UIAlertView notification with a button that closes the app:
(note: we place this code in the viewController.m file)
//No Internet Connection error code
-(void)webView:(UIWebView *)myWebView didFailLoadWithError:(NSError *)error {
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Error!" message:@"You have no internet connection!" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Close" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
[alert show];
}And then we can put this code in right below in order to close the app when the “Close” button is pressed:
//Close app from AlertView
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
exit(0);
}And there we have it! This is a very important part of iPhone app development where you will be using the device’s internet! Feel free to ask any questions below!
