On start of layout i check if 'is online' if true i turn a variable true, i false i turn it false. Also i use the went online/offline to turn my variable true or false. Now, i run my app with internet on,if i turn the internet off my variable wont change. Its better to try on start of layout 'on offline ready'?

Do you mean your variable won't change instantly? Because it won't if you've set it to check that 'on start of layout'.

'On start of layout' checks the connection status once on start of layout. Are you returning to the start of layout after severing the connection? If not, then the variable won't change. You can also use 'went offline' to check this but you need to be checking it constantly not 'on start of layout'. You're talking about a connection drop during gameplay right?

Try Platform Info object, it has "On network change" events and you can check these expressions:

PlatformInfo.ConnectionEffectiveType

PlatformInfo.ConnectionRTT

PlatformInfo.ConnectionType

Try this - create a big Text object and On Network Change put:

Text set text PlatformInfo.ConnectionEffectiveType & ", " & PlatformInfo.ConnectionRTT & ", " & PlatformInfo.ConnectionType

See what values do you get. On my phone when I disable wifi and data, connectionType shows "none" and RTT=0, but you need to test.

Well, I don't know why browser event doesn't work, I suggest you log a bug report.

I would test on several devices and if they all show ConnectionType="none", use this method.

I experienced that Browser Plugin's "On Went Online" and "On Went Offline" conditions don't work on mobile apk's. They work only on browser's.

Have anybody found a solution to checking internet connectivity on mobile applications.
