Introduction

The cellular data module is a tailorable component of the Telephony subsystem. It depends on the telephony core service (core_service) and RIL Adapter (ril_adapter). The module provides functions such as cellular data activation, cellular data fault detection and rectification, cellular data status management, cellular data switch management, cellular data roaming management, APN management, and network management and interaction.

Constraints

• Programming language: JavaScript
• In terms of software, this module needs to work with the telephony core service (core_service) and RIL Adapter (call_manger).
• In terms of hardware, the accommodating device must be equipped with a modem and a SIM card capable of independent cellular communication.

Available APIs

Table 1 External APIs provided by the cellular data module

API	Description	Required Permission
function isCellularDataEnabled(callback: AsyncCallback<boolean>): void;	Checks whether the cellular data is enabled	ohos.permission.GET_NETWORK_INFO
function getCellularDataState(callback: AsyncCallback<DataConnectState>): void;	Obtains the cellular data status.	None
function isCellularDataEnabledSync(): boolean;	Checks if cellular mobile data service is enabled.	ohos.permission.GET_NETWORK_INFO
function isCellularDataRoamingEnabledSync(slotId: number): boolean;	Checks if cellular data roaming is enabled（The parameter slotId is the SIM card id, 0 represents card one, and 1 represents card two）.	ohos.permission.GET_NETWORK_INFO

Usage Guidelines

Checking the Cellular Data Status

1. Call the IsCellularDataEnabled method in callback or Promise mode to check whether the cellular data is enabled.

2. This method works in asynchronous mode. The execution result is returned through the callback.

   import data from "@ohos.telephony.data";
   
   // Call the API in callback mode.
   data.isCellularDataEnabled((err, value) => {
     if (err) {
       // If the API call failed, err is not empty.
       console.error(`failed to isCellularDataEnabled because ${err.message}`);
       return;
     }
     // If the API call succeeded, err is empty.
     console.log(`success to isCellularDataEnabled: ${value}`);
   });
   
   // Call the API in Promise mode.
   let promise = data.isCellularDataEnabled();
   promise.then((value) => {
     // The API call succeeded.
     console.log(`success to isCellularDataEnabled: ${value}`);
   }).catch((err) => {
     // The API call failed.
     console.error(`failed to isCellularDataEnabled because ${err.message}`);
   });
   

Check if cellular mobile data service is enabled

1. You can determine if cellular data services are enabled by calling isCellularDataEnabledSync.

2. This interface is synchronous, and the relevant execution results will be returned from isCellularDataEnabledSync.

   import data from "@ohos.telephony.data";
   
   try {
   	// Call the interface [Sync method]
   	let isEnabled: boolean = data.isCellularDataEnabledSync();
   	// Call the interface successfully
       console.log(`isCellularDataEnabledSync success : ${isEnabled}`);
   } catch (error) {
   	// Call the interface failed
       console.log(`isCellularDataEnabledSync failed`);  
   }    
   

Check if cellular data roaming is enabled

1. You can determine if cellular data roaming services are enabled by calling isCellularDataRoamingEnabledSync.

2. This interface is synchronous, and the relevant execution results will be returned from isCellularDataRoamingEnabledSync.

   import data from "@ohos.telephony.data";
   
   try {
   	// Call the interface [Sync method]
   	let isEnabled: boolean = data.isCellularDataRoamingEnabledSync(0);
   	// Call the interface successfully
       console.log(`isCellularDataRoamingEnabledSync success : ${isEnabled}`);
   } catch (error) {
   	// Call the interface failed
       console.log(`isCellularDataRoamingEnabledSync failed`);  
   }     
   

Obtaining the Cellular Data Status

Table 2 Description of DataConnectState enum values

Name	ValueDescription
DATA_STATE_UNKNOWN	-1	Unknown
DATA_STATE_DISCONNECTED	0	Disconnected
DATA_STATE_CONNECTING	1	Connecting
DATA_STATE_CONNECTED	2	Connected
DATA_STATE_SUSPENDED	3	Suspended

1. Call the getCellularDataState method in callback or Promise mode to obtain the cellular data status.

2. This method works in asynchronous mode. The execution result is returned through the callback.

   import data from "@ohos.telephony.data";
   
   // Call the API in callback mode.
   data.getCellularDataState((err, value) => {
     if (err) {
       // If the API call failed, err is not empty.
       console.error(`failed to getCellularDataState because ${err.message}`);
       return;
     }
     // If the API call succeeded, err is empty.
     console.log(`success to getCellularDataState: ${value}`);
   });
   
   // Call the API in Promise mode.
   let promise = data.getCellularDataState();
   promise.then((value) => {
     // The API call succeeded.
     console.log(`success to getCellularDataState: ${value}`);
   }).catch((err) => {
     // The API call failed.
     console.error(`failed to getCellularDataState because ${err.message}`);
   });
