Network / Radio Coverage API
Hello,
Regarding MIDP 2.0,
I'm wondering if there exists any JSR that gives access to network coverage functionalities, that would enable me to:
- Enumerate service providers
- Explicitly connect to a specific provider
- Get notified when disconnected (i.e.: when radio coverage drops out).
- (etc!)
Any information about how this could be done, either in a standard JSR or a vendor-specific extention, would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
-Sebastien

Hi,
Interesting issue. From MIDP point of view there are no APIs providing such desired functionality. There are no JSRs covering these features either. Perhaps any future release or future JSR will bring the desired functionality?
I can't tell if there are proprietary solutions available, but I doubt it as it might get rather complex (and riskful) to implement.
Cheers!

We thought about pinging an external http server to at least determine if the radio coverage is available, but it's a rather weak solution.Thanks for your input,-Sebastien
