Documentation/Maemo 5 Developer Guide/Using Connectivity Components/Maemo Connectivity

Revision as of 08:29, 8 September 2010

The Maemo connectivity subsystem is implemented by using known Linux conventions. It resides in the user space of Linux, and relies on the Linux kernel through standard C libraries. GPRS or WLAN is the main channel to the Internet. The Bluetooth software of Maemo is based on BlueZ, which is known as the de-facto implementation of Bluetooth for Linux. D-Bus is used for internal application level message exchange.

Even though the connectivity device drivers are closely related to this subsystem, they are considered to be outside of the scope of this manual.

Components of the Maemo connectivity architecture

• Maemo connectivity UI - User Interface parts of the connectivity. This includes Control Panel applets and several different dialogs.
• Maemo connectivity daemon (ICd) - LibConIC API works together with ICd, handling all Internet Access Points (IAPs). IC daemon handles both WLAN and GPRS connections.
• OBEX wrapper - Interface to OBEX services. The primary target user of this library is the OBEX gnome-vfs module.
• OpenOBEX - Open source implementation of the Object Exchange (OBEX) protocol. For more information on OpenOBEX, visit http://triq.net/obex/
• BlueZ Bluetooth stack - The de-facto implementation of Bluetooth for Linux. For more information on BlueZ, visit http://www.bluez.org
• BlueZ D-Bus API - BlueZ accepts commands via D-Bus.
• WLAN connectivity daemon - The daemon controlling WLAN connections.
• WLAN device driver - mac80211 from Linux and wl12xx driver implemented by Nokia, licensed under GPLv2.

Internet Access Points (IAP)

The central concept for maemo Internet connections is the Internet Access Point (IAP), which represents a logical Internet (IP) connection that the user defines. An IAP has a unique name, usually in form of UUID). Among other things, it defines the radio bearer (e.g. WLAN, GPRS), and usually also the data transfer speed, username, password, proxy server, and the corresponding access point in the Internet or the telephone number of the service provider's modem.

Connectivity Subsystem

This section describes the system decomposition of the Connectivity subsystem. Maemo applications can open Internet connections by using the LibConIC API. The Internet Access subsystem take care of the connection to the phone, if necessary, by using the services of the Phone Access subsystem. If an application needs to gain access to the phone's files, the File selector consults the Phone Access subsystem.

In offline mode, none of the radios must be active. The Device System Management Entity (DSME) of Maemo provides information about the transitions to and from the offline mode.

Phone and Internet connections are quite different by nature and behavior. These are introduced in more detail in the following sections.

Phone Access

Phone Access is the subsystem handling connections to a cellular phone. It offers a search utility for finding potential phones and inquiring the services they can offer. This is based on the standard Bluetooth service discovery mechanism. Phone Access also keeps a record of phones that have connected to the device in GConf, and provides a list of them for the user to choose from. Phone Access relies on the Linux Bluetooth implementation called BlueZ. BlueZ offers the Berkeley socket interface to the HCI and to the L2CAP protocol for the user space applications.

In principle, any cellular phone supporting Bluetooth Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) and File Transfer Profile (FTP) can connect to Maemo. However, different mobile phones implement varying levels of file transfer services and OBEX. Some products limit access to the Inbox (Object Push), whereas more sophisticated ones make the Gallery and the memory card available. The recent products support the OBEX Capability request for retrieving more specific information about the file system on the phone.

Maemo connects to a phone on an on-demand basis, such as when an application requires a connection. For example, when the Internet browser is about to open a URL, it requests Phone Access to establish a connection to the phone. This causes Phone Access to bind an RFCOMM device to the requested service on the phone. In a similar fashion, the File Selector can set up a file transfer connection to the phone using another RFCOMM device. After binding to a service, the application in question can open the local RFCOMM device. Normal file selector access is performed with GnomeVFS layer to get transparent access to phone in the same way as internal flash and MMC are accessed.

Internet Connectivity Daemon

This section describes how the Internet Connectivity daemon works internally. The following subsections explain the behavior and the decomposition of this component in detail, also covering the interfaces that this component realizes.

Decomposition

If the ICd receives a request to activate or deactivate an IAP, the ICd activates the IAP or, if no IAP has been defined as the default, shows a uI requesting the user to choose one. Depending on the type of the IAP, the ICd uses the appropriate network type plug-in to activate or deactivate specific network interface.

The ICd tracks the applications requesting IAPs by recording their D-Bus base service names. This allows the ICd to detect situations where processes using an IAP have aborted or crashed.

Maemo version 3.0 introduced the automatic connection creation feature in the Internet Connectivity Daemon. In other words, the device tries to connect automatically to the saved IAPs, and keep connected as long as possible. With this feature, applications like e-mail and RSS reader are always up to date. The device is also always ready for online use, for example, incoming VoIP calls or IM chat. In earlier versions, the Internet connection was automatically closed if no application was using it or when the connection was idle for the period of time defined by the idle timeout configuration parameter.

When the device is not connected, it scans for saved IAPs and tries to connect automatically, taking into account the value defined by the search interval configuration parameter. The search interval can be 5, 10, 30 or 60 minutes; all other values are automatically mapped to "Never". This setup switches off the automatic connection feature. In this case, the device behaves just like the former versions: Connections are created only when applications require it.

Because each application keeps its data updated and provides the always-online feature, the ICd is only responsible for creating connections.

While writing an application making use of the ICd system, keep the following in mind:

• The application must always use the existing available connection.
• As in former versions, if the device is not connected but a connection is required by user interaction, the application must require connection creation using LibConIC API.
• Ensure that the user is aware of updates and can see the time when the data was last updated.
• Ensure that the application registers via LibConIC and listens to signals emitted by the ICd (Connection Created, Lost and Changed), and react as follows:
  • Connection Created: Use the connection and update all data.
  • Connection Lost: Go to an idle state silently and wait until a new connection is created.
  • Connection Changed: Use the new connection.
• Ensure that automatic data updates run in background and silently:
  • Avoid alarming the user with unnecessary banners or dialogs.
  • Ensure that usernames and passwords are saved so that automatic updates can be performed without prompts.
  • During and after updates, ensure that no failures display error notifications.
• The connectivity infrastructure must take care of error situations in a centralized way.

You can switch off the automatic connection creation feature by using offline mode. While in this mode, the configuration parameter for allowing WLAN in offline mode is checked. Depending on the state of this configuration parameter, WLAN IAPs are either enabled or disabled in the offline mode. Also other radios like Bluetooth are normally disabled in the offline mode.

WLAN

For connecting to a WLAN, the ICd needs to associate with the network as well as enable EAP authentication and the DHCP client as needed. Independently of whether an active IAP using WLAN exists, the requested WLAN network is first scanned to ensure that it is available. If the requested network is found and the current IAP is using WLAN, the current IAP is deactivated. WLAN is activated according to the following procedure:

• If the network requires EAP authentication, the EAP authentication procedure is started. While performing the EAP authentication, the EAP software may show GUI dialogs relating to the EAP authentication procedure. When EAP authentication is complete, the EAP software sets security keys for the WLAN network, resulting in state change messages from wlancond. The ICd receives these messages but ignores them and waits for the reply from EAP authentication instead. If the EAP authentication fails, the ICd aborts with a D-Bus error message.
• After the EAP process starts, the ICd instructs wlancond to associate with the WLAN network. Any static security settings relating to pre-shared security keys are also supplied at this point. If it cannot establish a connection to the WLAN network, the ICd aborts with an error.
• Because the DHCP client is a stand-alone program, start it by using exec if the WLAN IAP requires dynamic IP address acquisition. When the DHCP client has obtained an IP address, it configures IP-related parameters, and sends a D-Bus signal to the ICd. If it cannot obtain the IP address lease, the ICd times out, stops the DHCP client and aborts with a D-Bus error message.

LibConIC Library

Internet Connectivity API (in shorter form: Libconic) is an API for applications to manage internet connections on Maemo devices. It was introduced in the first IT OS 2007 release, deprecating the old OSSO IC API (osso-ic-lib). OSSO IC API was conclusively removed in the IT OS 2008 release. For more information on libconic interfaces, see Internet Connectivity API

Libconic is high level and stable object-oriented API suitable for the following purposes:

• requesting Internet connection
• listening for Internet connection status events
• receiving statistics of Internet connection
• getting proxy settings for the current connection
• getting a list of user-saved connections (IAPs)

Application Requirements

Before applications can use the Libconic API, they must meet the following requirements:

1. use non-blocking sockets
2. have the system D-Bus running
3. g_type_init() has to be called
4. employ no threading support in the Libconic API

If the application is a standard Hildon application, almost all of these requirements are already fulfilled. LibOSSO context initialization connects the application to both session and system D-Bus buses, g_type_init() is called as a part of gtk_init(), and probably no extra threads are used.

Non-Blocking Sockets

Blocking sockets cannot be used because that would also block incoming Connectivity events. Non-blocking sockets should be used in order to receive the events properly. For example, GLib IO Channels with the G_IO_FLAG_NONBLOCK flag provide non-blocking way to use sockets.

With threads, blocking sockets can be used, although Libconic API itself is not thread safe.

System D-Bus

Libconic API uses internally system D-Bus for delivering messages to the Connectivity components. Applications must be running normal D-Bus dispatch, watch and timeout monitoring before using the Libconic API. If the GLib mainloop is used, this can be accomplished with dbus_connection_setup_with_g_main().

N.B. Setting up LibOSSO context connects the application to required D-Bus.

GType

Libconic API is GObject-based, so in order to get the API working, you must initialize GLib's GType properly. To do that, use g_type_init().

No Multiple Threads

Libconic API is not thread-safe. If the applications has threads, use Libconic API only from the same context where GMainloop is running.

Libconic Usage

Requesting for Connection

Libconic is an asynchronous connection API, which heavily relies on GObject signals. Basically this means that GMainloop must be iterated in order to successfully execute connection requests. After the application is set up, use a ConIcConnection object to request a connection:

    gboolean success = FALSE;
    /* Create connection object */
    ConIcConnection *connection = con_ic_connection_new();
    /* Connect signal to receive connection events */
    g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(connection), "connection-event",
                     G_CALLBACK(my_connection_handler), NULL);
    /* Request connection and check for the result */
    success = con_ic_connection_connect(connection, CON_IC_CONNECT_FLAG_NONE);
    if (!success) g_warning("Request for connection failed");

At this point, the application does not yet have an Internet connection. A successful return from con_ic_connection_connect() means only that the request was successfully dispatched to the Internet Connectivity daemon. When the daemon has a connection ready, the application receives an event (as an GObject signal) indicating that the device is connected. If the connection attempt fails, the application receives a disconnected event with an error describing the reason for the failure.

The connection handler (my_connection_handler() function registered in the previous snippet) could look like this:

static void my_connection_handler(ConIcConnection *connection,
                                  ConIcConnectionEvent *event,
                                  gpointer user_data)
{
    ConIcConnectionStatus status = con_ic_connection_event_get_status(event);
    ConIcConnectionError error;
    const gchar *iap_id = con_ic_event_get_iap_id(CON_IC_EVENT(event));
    const gchar *bearer = con_ic_event_get_bearer_type(CON_IC_EVENT(event));
    switch(status) {
        case CON_IC_STATUS_CONNECTED:
            g_debug("Hey, we are connected to IAP %s with bearer %s!", iap_id, bearer);
            break;
        case CON_IC_STATUS_DISCONNECTING:
            g_debug("We are disconnecting...");
            break;
        case CON_IC_STATUS_DISCONNECTED:
            g_debug("And we are disconnected. Let's see what went wrong...");
            error = con_ic_connection_event_get_error(event);
            switch(error) {
                case CON_IC_CONNECTION_ERROR_NONE:
                    g_debug("Libconic thinks there was nothing wrong.");
                    break;
                case CON_IC_CONNECTION_ERROR_INVALID_IAP:
                    g_debug("Invalid (non-existing?) IAP was requested.");
                    break;
                case CON_IC_CONNECTION_ERROR_CONNECTION_FAILED:
                    g_debug("Connection just failed.");
                    break;
                case CON_IC_CONNECTION_ERROR_USER_CANCELED:
                    g_debug("User canceled the connection attempt");
                    break;
            }
            break;
        default:
            g_debug("Unknown connection status received");
    }
}

Listening for Connection Events

Sometimes the application does not actively start connections but needs to detect if the device is online. The Libconic "automatic events" feature, enabled with the automatic-connection-events GObject property, can achieve this:

    /* Create connection object */
    ConIcConnection *connection = con_ic_connection_new();
    /* Connect signal to receive connection events */
    g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(connection), "connection-event",
                     G_CALLBACK(my_connection_handler), NULL);
    /* Set automatic events */
    g_object_set(G_OBJECT(connection), "automatic-connection-events", TRUE, NULL);

When automatic events are turned on, the application receives connected and disconnected events for all Internet connection changes. In addition to this, the application receives an event for the initial connection status. If the device is disconnected, ConIcConnectionEvent with status CON_IC_STATUS_DISCONNECTED is emitted. This event has NULL IAP ID and bearer, because there is no IAP getting disconnected, but the event indicates that the device is offline.

N.B. The main loop must be iterated in order to receive the event. If you need the connection status information synchronously, you can iterate the main loop yourself:

static void connection_info(ConIcConnection *connection,
                            ConIcConnectionEvent *event,
                            gpointer user_data)
{
    ConIcConnectionStatus status = con_ic_connection_event_get_status(event);
    ConIcConnectionStatus *status_ptr = (ConIcConnectionStatus*)user_data;
    *status_ptr = status;
}
/* ... */
    /* Create connection object and set on automatic events (see previous snippet) ... */
    static ConIcConnectionStatus status = 0xFFFF;
    ConIcConnection *connection = con_ic_connection_new();
    g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(connection), "connection-event",
                     G_CALLBACK(connection_info), &status);
    g_object_set(G_OBJECT(Connection), "automatic-connection-events", TRUE, NULL);
    /* Iterate main loop for the first connection event */
    while (status == 0xFFFF) g_main_context_iteration(NULL, TRUE);
    if (status == CON_IC_STATUS_CONNECTED)
        g_debug("We are connected!");
    else
        g_debug("We are not connected!");

Receiving Statistics of Connection

To receive statistics of the current Internet connection, use the con_ic_connection_statistics() function and the corresponding event handler. You can retrieve statistics for a specified IAP or just for the current default connection. Note that currently the Internet Connectivity daemon provides only one Internet connection at a time, so the best option is to leave IAP ID NULL.

static void connection_statistics(ConIcConnection *connection,
                                  ConIcStatisticsEvent *event,
                                  gpointer user_data)
{
    g_debug("Here are all kind of nice statistics about the connection:");
    g_debug("Time active: %u, signal strength: %u, received packets: %llu, "
            "sent packets: %llu, received bytes: %llu, sent bytes: %llu",
            con_ic_statistics_event_get_time_active(event),
            con_ic_statistics_event_get_signal_strength(event),
            con_ic_statistics_event_get_rx_packets(event),
            con_ic_statistics_event_get_tx_packets(event),
            con_ic_statistics_event_get_rx_bytes(event),
            con_ic_statistics_event_get_tx_bytes(event));
}
/* ... */
    /* ConIcConnection object named "connection" has already been created */
    g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(connection), "statistics",
                     G_CALLBACK(connection_statistics), NULL);
    if (!con_ic_connection_statistics(connection ,NULL))
        g_warning("Requesting connection statistics failed!");

Getting Proxy Settings

Libconic allows you to set up Internet connection proxy settings for various protocols. The first step is to discover the current proxy mode by using the con_ic_connection_get_proxy_mode() function. Next, use the following functions to get the actual proxy settings:

• If proxy mode is CON_IC_PROXY_MODE_NONE, do not use any proxies.
• If proxy mode is CON_IC_PROXY_MODE_MANUAL, use the following functions to query proxy settings:
  • con_ic_connection_get_proxy_host() to get the proxy host
  • con_ic_connection_get_proxy_port() to get the proxy port
  • con_ic_connection_get_proxy_ignore_hosts() to get a list of hosts for which the proxy should not be used.
• If proxy mode is CON_IC_PROXY_MODE_AUTO, use con_ic_connection_get_proxy_autoconfig_url() to get a proxy auto configuration URL.
  • Use of auto configuration URL is explained in Wikipedia

In this example, the connection-event handler is modified to print HTTP proxy settings when establishing connection:

static void my_connection_handler(ConIcConnection *connection,
                                  ConIcConnectionEvent *event,
                                  gpointer user_data)
{
    ConIcConnectionStatus status = con_ic_connection_event_get_status(event);
    GSList *ignore_hosts;
 
    if (status == CON_IC_STATUS_CONNECTED) {
        g_debug("We are connected! \
Let's see what kind of settings we have for HTTP proxy...");
 
        /* Do things based on specified proxy mode */
        switch (con_ic_connection_get_proxy_mode(connection)) {
 
            case CON_IC_PROXY_MODE_NONE:
                g_debug("No proxies defined, it is direct connection");
                break;
 
            case CON_IC_PROXY_MODE_MANUAL:
                g_debug("HTTP proxy %s:%d in use",
                        con_ic_connection_get_proxy_host(connection, CON_IC_PROXY_PROTOCOL_HTTP),
                        con_ic_connection_get_proxy_port(connection, CON_IC_PROXY_PROTOCOL_HTTP));
 
                g_debug("List of hosts, for which proxy should not be used:");
                ignore_hosts = con_ic_connection_proxy_ignore_hosts(connection);
                for (GSList *iter = ignore_hosts; iter != NULL; iter = g_slist_next(iter))
                {
                    g_debug("%s", (gchar *)iter->data);
                    g_free(iter->data);
                }
                g_slist_free(ignore_hosts);
                break;
 
            case CON_IC_PROXY_MODE_AUTO:
                g_debug("Proxy auto-config URL %s should be used",
                        con_ic_connection_get_proxy_autoconfig_url(connection));
                break;
        }
    }
}

Proxy functions also exist for each individual protocol (like con_ic_connection_get_proxy_ftp_host()), but these functions are deprecated. Avoid them in newly-written code.

Getting List of User-Saved Connections

To query all user-saved connections (IAPs), use the con_ic_connection_get_all_iaps() function. The function returns simply a singly linked list of ConIcIap objects:

    /* ConIcConnection object named "connection" has already been created */
    GSList *saved_iaps = con_ic_connection_get_all_iaps(connection);
    g_debug("The following connections have been saved by the user:");
    for (GSList *iter = saved_iaps; iter != NULL; iter = g_slist_next(iter)) {
        /* Get IAP object and print some information about it */
        ConIcIap *iap = (ConIcIap *)iter->data;
        g_debug("Connection %s called '%s' using bearer %s",
                con_ic_iap_get_id(iap), con_ic_iap_get_name(iap),
                con_ic_iap_get_bearer_type(iap));
        /* We unref the IAP object as we are not going to use it anymore */
        g_object_unref(iap);
    }
    g_slist_free(saved_iaps);

Porting Application from OSSO IC API to Libconic

• If the application does not have GType, GLib or D-Bus configured, set them up:

      DBusConnection *system_dbus;
      GMainLoop *main_loop;
      g_type_init();
      main_loop = g_main_loop_new(NULL, FALSE);
      system_dbus = dbus_bus_get(DBUS_BUS_SYSTEM, NULL);
      dbus_connection_setup_with_g_main(system_dbus, NULL);

• Include the correct header file:

      #include <osso-ic.h>
      /* change to: */
      #include <conic.h>

• Set up ConIcConnection object and connection-event handler instead of osso_iap_cb_t callback:

      static void my_connection_cb(struct iap_event_t *event, void *arg)
      {
      /* ... */
      }
      /* ... */
          osso_iap_cb(my_connection_cb);
      ===>
      static void my_connection_cb(ConIcConnection *connection,
                                   ConIcConnectionEvent *event,
                                   gpointer user_data)
      {
      /* ... */
      }
      /* ... */
          ConIcConnection *connection = con_ic_connection_new();
          g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(connection), "connection-event",
                           G_CALLBACK(my_connection_cb), app_data);

• Request statistics with con_ic_connection_statistics() instead of osso_iap_get_statistics().
• List all available IAPs with con_ic_connection_get_all_iaps() instead of osso_iap_get_configured_iaps().
• Configure autoconf to use Libconic instead of OSSO IC API:

This section explains how Maemo Bluetooth libraries work internally. The following subsections explain the behavior and the decomposition of the Bluetooth library components in detail.

Discovering devices

Maemo provides a D-Bus interface for displaying a Bluetooth device search dialog (You can find a list of available Bluetooth D-Bus calls below).

Devices can be searched with following steps:

1. Set up a D-Bus connection
2. call bt_ui.search_req to show the dialog - you can filter the results
3. catch bt_ui.search_result signal
4. process the results

Here is a working example in C:

// Bluetooth discovery example - bluetooth libraries will not work in the SDK!
#include <hildon/hildon-program.h>
#include <dbus/dbus.h>
#include <dbus/dbus-glib.h>

Libgwobex

Libgwobex provides access to libopenobex functionality by providing a helper/wrapper interface. Libopenobex is explained in detail in the following section.

The interface to libgwobex is available at GW OBEX Library Documentation.

Creating Connection

The connection with libgwobex is established using the gw_obex_setup_dev function, setting up the connection. gw-obex.h

#define OBEX_FTP_UUID \
        "\xF9\xEC\x7B\xC4\x95\x3C\x11\xD2\x98\x4E\x52\x54\x00\xDC\x9E\x09"
#define OBEX_FTP_UUID_LEN 16
 
/* ... */
 
GwObex* gw_obex_setup_dev (const gchar * device, const gchar * uuid, gint uuid_len,
                           GMainContext * context, gint * error )

The following code snippet illustrates how to open a handle using gw_obex_setup_dev.

if (ctx->rfcomm_dev) {
        if (ctx->use_ftp)
                ctx->obex = gw_obex_setup_dev(ctx->rfcomm_dev,
                        OBEX_FTP_UUID, OBEX_FTP_UUID_LEN,
                        NULL, &err);
        else
                ctx->obex = gw_obex_setup_dev(ctx->rfcomm_dev, NULL,
                        0, NULL, &err);
 
        if (ctx->obex == NULL)
                printf("OBEX setup failed: %s\n", response_to_string(err));
}

In this example, ctx->rfcomm_dev points to a string containing the device node name (e.g. /dev/rfcomm0). ctx->use_ftp dictates whether to set up standard folder browsing services. If use_ftp is untrue, then INBOX is connected.

Closing Connection

To close a gwobex connection, use the following function: gw-obex.h

void gw_obex_close ( GwObex * ctx );

The following code demonstrates this usage.

if (ctx->obex) {
        gw_obex_close(ctx->obex);
        ctx->obex = NULL;
}

If ctx->obex is not NULL, it is simply passed as an argument to gw_obex_close().

Using Connection

The libgwobex library provides general file handling functionality, including reading directory structure, browsing in different folders and getting files.

To read entries from an opened directory, use the following function: gw-obex.h

gboolean gw_obex_read_dir (GwObex * ctx,
                           const gchar * dir,
                           gchar ** buf,
                           gint * buf_size,
                           gint * error );

gw_obex_read_dir reads an entry from the selected folder and returns the result in the buf argument given to the function.

gboolean ret;
/* ... */
ret = gw_obex_read_dir(ctx->obex, dir, buf, buf_size, err);

This reads an entry from the directory dir (char *) and returns it in buf (char **).

To change the current directory, use the following function: gw-obex.h

gboolean gw_obex_chdir (GwObex * ctx, const gchar * dir, gint * error );

which changes the directory of the FTP connection. Below is a code example using this function.

/* Ignore parent dir pointers */
if (g_str_equal(name, ".."))
        return TRUE;
 
if (!gw_obex_chdir(ctx->obex, name, err)) {
        printf("Could not chdir to %s\n", name);
        return FALSE;
}

To retrieve files over the OBEX connection, use the gw_obex_get_file function: gw-obex.h

gboolean gw_obex_get_file (GwObex * ctx,
                           const gchar * local,
                           const gchar * remote,
                           const gchar * type,
                           gint * error);

gw_obex_get_file uses the ctx context for retrieving the remote file to local file.

gboolean ret;
ret = gw_obex_get_file(ctx->obex, name, name, err);

Using the libwobex wrapper directly allows you to perform many more functions. For more information, see the API document.

Libopenobex

The LibOpenOBEX library implements a generic OBEX Session Protocol, but not the OBEX Application Framework. OBEX is a protocol designed to allow data interchanging between different kinds of connections (e.g. Bluetooth, IrDA). For more information on the OBEX protocol, see http://www.irda.org; select the Developer->Specifications category. OBEX resembles the HTTP protocol, expect for a few differences:

• Transports: While HTTP is normally layered above a TCP/IP connection, OBEX is usually transported over IrLAP/IrLMP/Tiny TP (on IrDA) or over Baseband/Link Manager/L2CAP/RFCOMM (on Bluetooth).
• Binary transmissions: OBEX communicates using binary transmissions, as HTTP is transmitted in a human-readable XML-based format.
• Session support: HTTP is stateless, while OBEX maintains the connection.

For more information on OBEX, see the summary available at the Wikipedia article on OBEX.

For libopenobex code samples, see http://openobex.triq.net/downloads the samples are in the example apps package.

Using BlueZ D-Bus API

The BlueZ system exports a D-Bus API that can be employed instead of OSSO Bluetooth tools. See the following documents:

• BlueZ D-Bus API documentation

Connectivity UI

UI Components

Connectivity UI contains various dialogs and other components used to control the connectivity. The different UI parts are:

• Connectivity UI
• Connectivity dialogs
• Status bar applets
• Control panel applet
• Bluetooth UIs

The connectivity dialogs are invoked by D-Bus method calls, so for example the ICd is using these D-Bus method calls for showing dialogs when they are needed. The next section specifies the D-Bus API of Maemo connectivity UI.

D-Bus Connectivity UI Interface

If the user must provide information about the IAP that the system is about to connect to, you can use the following method:

  bonding: DBUS_TYPE_STRING     Bonding mode for found and selected device:
 
                                "require" for requiring a bonding from a
                                selected device (i.e. bond device if it has not
                                been bonded before). 
 
                                "force" to always bond (i.e. device will be
                                bonded even if bonded before).
 
                                Any other string will allow to search and
                                select device without bonding it.
 
  Returns:
 
  DBUS_TYPE_BOOLEAN             TRUE, if dialog was shown successfully.
