Title Body

I am working with Phonegap. I need to check the network connection periodically. Actually I am getting some data from a server. If there is no connection, I need to show an error alert. I googled it and found the solution. But it is not ok. Because I need to check the connection periodically. <html> <head> <title>navigator.network.connection.type Example</title> <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="phonegap-1.0.0.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> // Wait for PhoneGap to load document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false); function onDeviceReady() { checkConnection(); } function checkConnection() { var networkState = navigator.network.connection.type; var states = {}; states[Connection.UNKNOWN] = 'Unknown connection'; states[Connection.ETHERNET] = 'Ethernet connection'; states[Connection.WIFI] = 'WiFi connection'; states[Connection.CELL_2G] = 'Cell 2G connection'; states[Connection.CELL_3G] = 'Cell 3G connection'; states[Connection.CELL_4G] = 'Cell 4G connection'; states[Connection.NONE] = 'No network connection'; alert('Connection type: ' + states[networkState]); } </script> </head> <body> <p>A dialog box will report the network state.</p> </body> </html> It check only the first time when the application launches. But I need to check it periodically, because I am doing socket programming. If there is a problem with internet, I need to show it. But this code only shows at launch time.
