Network Accessibility

Small problem here - my application accesses the internet under certain conditions and if the internet is not available or is too slow to respond, the application crashes.
The internet call is made in a separate thread and I do have a timer in that thread.

I added code to check the networkAccessible property before I start the thread to make sure the net is available, but that property always returns -1 whether the network is available or not. So it still crashes when the internet is not available.

Any suggestions?

You need to give a lot more information.
A working, minimal and compilable example that demonstrates the problem is needed.

Ok tbscope, I'll see what I can put together. Probably won't happen until tonight as I have to work this weekend at the office.

networkAccessible can only tell you (at most) if the physical connection is available. It can not tell you if the internet is available - that would require attempting to connect to somewhere and setting the value of a flag based on the success or failure of that connection.

It is strange however that your application should crash if it can't communicate with a server, but we would need to see your code to determine why.
