[maemo-developers] How to resolve network connectivity without using Qt Mobility in Qt?

[From: Sascha Mäkelä]

Hi,

After struggling for about a month with my app and the Ovi Store QA, this is
what I found out: apparently Ovi Store is not using a repository, at least
for paid apps, and therefore cannot install dependencies. However, at the
same time their QA team requires quite a few things when dealing with
network connectivity. Obviously these requirements are not published
anywhere, otherwise this would be much too easy!

Anyway, this is what I think they want:

1. Detectect if the device is Offline and give appropriate warning.
2. Detect if the device is connected and if not establish the connection.
3. If the connection is set to manual, the app needs to give the necessary
prompt.
4. If the connection is set to automatic, it should connect without any
prompt.

So these, I believe, are the requirements of the Ovi Store
QA regarding network connectivity. Now the question is how can this be done
without using Qt Mobility (or any other library that is not included with
PR1.2)? Is it even possible?

It would be nice if there would be a Wiki page or something where a sample
code that would pass  Ovi Store's QA would be available. I understands that
most of the competing platforms have these sample codes freely available, so
to prevent the need for devs to reinvent the wheel. It's about time Nokia
would have something similar. Currently it seems that while Nokia
is recommending Qt for everyone with great enthusiasm, their QA team seems
to be out of touch what is currently possible to do with it and what not.

Cheers,

Sascha
