Question

Ok so I am trying to get this app to show network error alert codes. I have added the SystemConfiguration.framework framework and Apple’s “Reachability” sample code.

Here is the viewcontroller.h file:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@class Reachability;

@interface Test_Internet_ConnectionViewController : UIViewController {

   Reachability* internetReachable;
   Reachability* hostReachable;
}

- (void) checkNetworkStatus:(NSNotification *)notice;

@end

And here is the viewcontroller.m file:

#import "Test_Internet_ConnectionViewController.h"
#import "Reachability.h";

@implementation Test_Internet_ConnectionViewController



/*
// The designated initializer. Override to perform setup that is required before the view is loaded.
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil {
    self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
    if (self) {
        // Custom initialization
}
    return self;
    }
*/

/*
// Implement loadView to create a view hierarchy programmatically, without using a nib.
- (void)loadView {
}
*/


// Implement viewDidLoad to do additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

        // check for internet connection
        [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(checkNetworkStatus:) name:kReachabilityChangedNotification object:nil];

        internetReachable = [[Reachability reachabilityForInternetConnection] retain];
        [internetReachable startNotifier];

        // check if a pathway to a random host exists
        hostReachable = [[Reachability reachabilityWithHostName: @"www.apple.com"] retain];
        [hostReachable startNotifier];

        // now patiently wait for the notification
    }

/*
// Override to allow orientations other than the default portrait orientation.
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
    // Return YES for supported orientations
    return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
}
*/

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
    // Releases the view if it doesn't have a superview.
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];

    // Release any cached data, images, etc that aren't in use.
}

- (void)viewDidUnload {
    // Release any retained subviews of the main view.
    // e.g. self.myOutlet = nil;
}

- (void) checkNetworkStatus:(NSNotification *)notice
{
    // called after network status changes

    NetworkStatus internetStatus = [internetReachable currentReachabilityStatus];
    switch (internetStatus)

    {
        case NotReachable:
        {
            NSLog(@"The internet is down.");
            self.internetActive = NO;

            break;

        }
        case ReachableViaWiFi:
        {
            NSLog(@"The internet is working via WIFI.");
            self.internetActive = YES;

            break;

        }
        case ReachableViaWWAN:
        {
            NSLog(@"The internet is working via WWAN.");
            self.internetActive = YES;

            break;

        }
    }

    NetworkStatus hostStatus = [hostReachable currentReachabilityStatus];
    switch (hostStatus)

    {
        case NotReachable:
        {
            NSLog(@"A gateway to the host server is down.");
            self.hostActive = NO;

            break;

        }
        case ReachableViaWiFi:
        {
            NSLog(@"A gateway to the host server is working via WIFI.");
            self.hostActive = YES;

            break;

        }
        case ReachableViaWWAN:
        {
            NSLog(@"A gateway to the host server is working via WWAN.");
            self.hostActive = YES;

            break;

        }
    }
}

- (void)dealloc {
    [super dealloc];




        [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self];

    }

@end

I get 6 errors:

Request for member ‘internetActive’ in something not a structure or union (3 times)
Request for member ‘hostActive’ in something not a structure or union (3 times)

Answer 1

Are you creating ‘internetActive’ and ‘hostActive’ as class variables or as properties anywhere? I don’t see this anywhere in the code you provided.
