Android check internet connection [duplicate]

Solution 1:

This method checks whether mobile is connected to internet and returns true if connected:

private boolean isNetworkConnected() {
    ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

    return cm.getActiveNetworkInfo() != null && cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnected();
}

in manifest,

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

Edit: This method actually checks if device is connected to internet(There is a possibility it's connected to a network but not to internet).

public boolean isInternetAvailable() {
    try {
        InetAddress ipAddr = InetAddress.getByName("google.com"); 
        //You can replace it with your name
            return !ipAddr.equals("");

        } catch (Exception e) {
            return false;
    }
}

Solution 2:

Check to make sure it is "connected" to a network:

public boolean isNetworkAvailable(Context context) {
    ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = ((ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE));
    return connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo() != null && connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnected();
}

Check to make sure it is "connected" to a internet:

public boolean isInternetAvailable() {
    try {
        InetAddress address = InetAddress.getByName("www.google.com");
        return !address.equals("");
    } catch (UnknownHostException e) {
        // Log error
    }
    return false;
}

Permission needed:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

Solution 3:

You can simply ping an online website like google:

public boolean isConnected() throws InterruptedException, IOException {
    String command = "ping -c 1 google.com";
    return Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command).waitFor() == 0;
}

Solution 4:

The above methods work when you are connected to a Wi-Fi source or via cell phone data packs. But in case of Wi-Fi connection there are cases when you are further asked to Sign-In like in Cafe. So in that case your application will fail as you are connected to Wi-Fi source but not with the Internet.

This method works fine.

    public static boolean isConnected(Context context) {
        ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager)context
                .getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

    NetworkInfo activeNetwork = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
    if (activeNetwork != null && activeNetwork.isConnected()) {
        try {
            URL url = new URL("http://www.google.com/");
            HttpURLConnection urlc = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
            urlc.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "test");
            urlc.setRequestProperty("Connection", "close");
            urlc.setConnectTimeout(1000); // mTimeout is in seconds
            urlc.connect();
            if (urlc.getResponseCode() == 200) {
                return true;
            } else {
                return false;
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            Log.i("warning", "Error checking internet connection", e);
            return false;
        }
    }

    return false;

}

Please use this in a separate thread from the main thread as it makes a network call and will throw NetwrokOnMainThreadException if not followed.

And also do not put this method inside onCreate or any other method. Put it inside a class and access it.

Solution 5:

You can use following snippet to check Internet Connection.

It will useful both way that you can check which Type of NETWORK Connection is available so you can do your process on that way.

You just have to copy following class and paste directly in your package.

/**
 * @author Pratik Butani
 */
public class InternetConnection {

    /**
     * CHECK WHETHER INTERNET CONNECTION IS AVAILABLE OR NOT
     */
    public static boolean checkConnection(Context context) {
        final ConnectivityManager connMgr = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

        if (connMgr != null) {
            NetworkInfo activeNetworkInfo = connMgr.getActiveNetworkInfo();

            if (activeNetworkInfo != null) { // connected to the internet
                // connected to the mobile provider's data plan
                if (activeNetworkInfo.getType() == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI) {
                    // connected to wifi
                    return true;
                } else return activeNetworkInfo.getType() == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
}

Now you can use like:

if (InternetConnection.checkConnection(context)) {
    // Its Available...
} else {
    // Not Available...
}

DON'T FORGET to TAKE Permission :) :)

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />

You can modify based on your requirement.

Thank you.
