Note!
This API is not part of the public SDK. It can be found in the SDK API Plug-in.

The Data Connection Log Counters API provides central repository keys using which we can get the total amount of data sent and recieved using GPRS and WLAN.

Use cases

These APIs can be used in an application, which is developed to send/recieve data using WLAN/GPRS, to check the data transfer rate over specified duration.

They can be also used to check the amount of data transfered by your application by checking the log counters before and after data transfer. You can also monitor any data connection and get the data amounts by using link Connection monitoring API

Example code

Headers Used

#include <centralrepository.h>

The following code displays the total data sent using GPRS :

// We need to Query Central Repository.
CRepository* cRepository = CRepository::NewLC( KCRUidDCLLogs );
 
// Get the data in bytes  
TBuf<50> bytes; 
User::LeaveIfError( cRepository->Get( KLogsGPRSSentCounter, bytes ) );
 
// To display message
 
CAknInformationNote* informationNote = new (ELeave) CAknInformationNote;
TBuf<100> msg;
msg.Copy(_L("Data in bytes : "));
msg.Append(bytes) ;
 
informationNote->ExecuteLD(msg);
 
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy();
