Feature request - WAN connection/reconnection handled by RE app #86

Open Pavel87 opened 10 years ago

Pavel87 commented 10 years ago

Hi Team, we have a customer who is using RE browser to run the 3rd party web application in ES400s. As the customer is not willing/able to modify their app they don't really have option to handle reconnection to WAN once the connection is lost (IP drops). In this case Network API is not very much useful. They can use network API only on app startup and then the connection is no longer maintained against WAN disconnections. The customer is about to deploy a lot of ES400s with RE browser into field and they now struggle with issue when the devices lose the IP and RE does not re-attach it as a stock browser.

Is there a possibility to get this feature implemented or any other idea would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

Hi Pavel,

This is something that we are aiming to introduce into a future release of RhoElements. The WAN connection will attempt to re-establish any connection once dropped but what is lacking is an automatic notification to the user that the device has lost connection. You can do this in your application currently (https://developer.motorolasolutions.com/community/rhomobile-suite/rhomobile-community/rhomobile-blogs/blog/2012/12/03/adding-network-connection-events-to-your-rhoelements-hybrid-application) but not without modifying the application.

@phender738 should be able to provide more information on dates / timescales.

Thanks.
