Question

I tested navigator.online and it worked until I built the app with PhoneGap, after that, navigator.online always returned true.
Does anybody know how can I un-cache or refresh this value? I need it on “on click” events.

Answer 1

I was also facing this issue while I was developing an application.

What I used is:

document.addEventListener("online", onOnline, false);
document.addEventListener("offline", onOffline, false);

These events will be fired when the device is disconnected or connected to internet on the fly.

You can store some global variables in the function

function onOnline(){}

and

function onOffline(){}

Than check the values of those global variables and do whatever you want to according to the value.
