Unable to connect to internet in Blackberry device?
I'm trying to send an http request and get a response via blackberry. I used following code snippet.
String url="http://www.google.lk/";
HttpConnection con = null;
InputStream is = null;
try {
con = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(url);
int responseCode = con.getResponseCode(); // LINE X
Dialog.alert(String.valueOf(responseCode ));
}
catch(Exception e){
Dialog.alert(e.getMessage());
}
But the code never passes LINE X. There's no error. It just waits and eventually gets a timeout. What could be the problem?
Thanks in advance.

You need to Tell Http Request about your connection type.
use this code To access Connection type
public static String getConnectionString() {
String connectionString = null;
// Simulator behaviour is controlled by the USE_MDS_IN_SIMULATOR
// variable.
if (DeviceInfo.isSimulator()) {
connectionString = ";deviceside=true";
}
// Wifi is the preferred transmission method
else if (WLANInfo.getWLANState() == WLANInfo.WLAN_STATE_CONNECTED) {
connectionString = ";interface=wifi";
}
// Is the carrier network the only way to connect?
else if ((CoverageInfo.getCoverageStatus() & CoverageInfo.COVERAGE_DIRECT) == CoverageInfo.COVERAGE_DIRECT) {
String carrierUid = getCarrierBIBSUid();
if (carrierUid == null) {
// Has carrier coverage, but not BIBS. So use the carrier's TCP
// network
connectionString = ";deviceside=true";
} else {
// otherwise, use the Uid to construct a valid carrier BIBS
// request
connectionString = ";deviceside=false;connectionUID="+carrierUid + ";ConnectionType=mds-public";
}
}
// Check for an MDS connection instead (BlackBerry Enterprise Server)
else if ((CoverageInfo.getCoverageStatus() & CoverageInfo.COVERAGE_MDS) == CoverageInfo.COVERAGE_MDS) {
connectionString = ";deviceside=false";
}
// If there is no connection available abort to avoid hassling the user
// unnecssarily.
else if (CoverageInfo.getCoverageStatus() == CoverageInfo.COVERAGE_NONE) {
connectionString = "none";
}
// In theory, all bases are covered by now so this shouldn't be reachable.But hey, just in case ...
else {
connectionString = ";deviceside=true";
}
return connectionString;
}
/**
* Looks through the phone's service book for a carrier provided BIBS
* network
*
* #return The uid used to connect to that network.
*/
private synchronized static String getCarrierBIBSUid() {
ServiceRecord[] records = ServiceBook.getSB().getRecords();
int currentRecord;
for (currentRecord = 0; currentRecord < records.length; currentRecord++) {
if (records[currentRecord].getCid().toLowerCase().equals("ippp")) {
if (records[currentRecord].getName().toLowerCase()
.indexOf("bibs") >= 0) {
return records[currentRecord].getUid();
}
}
}
return null;
}
use
con = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(url + getConnectionString());
