This involves several parts: (a) implementing navigator.mozMobileConnection.getNetworks so that the UI can read the available list of networks (b) reading/watching the settings API for a manual/automatic network selection and if manual, which network (c) sending the necessary parcels in the RIL worker
Summary: B2G: Allow network to be selected manually → B2G RIL: Allow network to be selected manually
Assignee: nobody → marshall
Hi, Marshall For (a) and (c) you can find some sample code in Bug 731786 thanks
No longer blocks: b2g-ril, webmobileconnection
I ended up added a new OperatorInfo type to describe each result from the getNetworks() request, let me know if this is the right way (it provides a little more metadata than just simply "name" which might be relevant)
Attachment #625655 - Flags: feedback?(philipp)
Phil, I just noticed https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebAPI/WebMobileConnection lists the API as "listAvailableNetworks". Should I rename getNetworks to this in the interface / impl?

Attached patch mozMobileConnection.getNetworks - v2 (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
Updated to address Phil's comments. As noted, this patch is only partial now because we will need to address how automatic / manual network selection APIs work in conjunction w/ the Settings API. Regarding the KO/OK pattern I'll be filing a bug shortly to discuss a more human friendly pattern that saves us some duplication as well.. Also, when re-basing I noticed that none of the new cardlock based APIs are correctly cleaning up requests after their responses are fired. I will also be creating a new bug for this soon.

(In reply to Yoshi Huang[:yoshi] from comment #7) > Thanks for catching this, do you need me to file the bug first? Just filed here: Bug 757512
I've done some more research WRT the "numeric" field in the response from QUERY_AVAILABLE_NETWORKS. According to ril.h, what Android calls "numeric" is supposed to be a 5 or 6 digit tuple, containing both the MCC (country code) + MNC (network code): https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/android-hardware-ril/blob/master/include/telephony/ril.h#L2015 After a quick survey of all the MCC / MNC codes available on Wikipedia, it looks like all countries have 3 digit MCC with the MNC being 2 or 3 digits. There is a "test network" that has 001 as it's MCC -- it seems any non-3 digit MCC is padded on the left with zeroes. Here's the page I read for reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code The Wikipedia page above does call out that some SDKs (such as Blackberry) expose the MCC+MNC tuple as binary-coded decimal. I'm not sure if this is a carrier requirement, or just an oddity of their platform. In my limited testing with my T-Mobile SIM, I'm currently getting tuples of 31026 (MCC 310, MNC 26) for T-Mobile, and 310410 (MCC 310, MNC 410) for AT&T, which both match up to the table in Wikipedia. After reading these, and comparing with my local testing, I feel fairly confident that we could actually extract the useful MCC / MNC directly and expose them as integers. I'll attach a modified version of the OperatorInfo interface and corresponding RIL support shortly.
Attached patch mozMobileConnection.getNetworks - v3 (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
Updated to provide MNC / MCC in OperatorInfo, "unknown" status now becomes null per Phil.

Attached patch mozMobileConnection.getNetworks - v4 (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
This version addresses Phil's comments, and adds the appropriate Marionette emulator unit tests. Note: to actually run this test, you will need to re-init repo from my fork of b2g-manifest using the queryAvailableNetworks branch (which also includes my fork of platform_hardware_ril w/ the same branch name) like so: ./repo init -u git://github.com/marshall/b2g-manifest -b queryAvailableNetworks Before this is merged, we'll need to make sure we move my platform_hardware_ril fork to the mozilla-b2g group, and update the manifest to point there accordingly. Phil, I know you'll also want to take a look at the custom reference RIL code that supports this, so here's a link :) https://github.com/marshall/platform_hardware_ril/commit/e933a4712c6594b6ba17ad1d4b47e3b2eee5c11f

Let's decouple the two and disable the test, for now. But please do start the process of using our fork of platform_hardware_ril, at least for emulator builds. I suggest talking to mwu and jhford.

FYI, my b2g-manifest changes and platform_hardware_ril fork are up in mozilla-b2g, and they can be retrieved with a vanilla ./repo sync. Should I go ahead and add my test to the default unit-tests.ini?

Sure, but they could still pass a window for `null` here and make us crash in DOMRequestService. For instance, the caller here will be the DOM implementation passing GetOwner(); mounir pointed out that that can return `null` on occasion. > ::: dom/system/gonk/ril_worker.js > @@ +2214,5 @@ > > + let tupleLen = networkTuple.length; > > + let mcc = 0, mnc = 0; > > + > > + if (tupleLen == 5 || tupleLen == 6) { > > + mcc = parseInt(networkTuple.substr(0, 3)); > > I think it's generally a good idea to specify the second 'radix' parameter > to parseInt.
