Detect if Android device has Internet connection

Question

I need to tell if my device has Internet connection or not. I found many answers like:

private boolean isNetworkAvailable() {
    ConnectivityManager connect

Based on the accepted answers, I have built this class with a listener so you can use it in the main thread:

First: InterntCheck class which checks for internet connection in the background then call a listener method with the result.

public class InternetCheck extends AsyncTask {


    private Activity activity;
    private InternetCheckListener listener;

    public InternetCheck(Activity x){

        activity= x;

    }

    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {


        boolean b = hasInternetAccess();
        listener.onComplete(b);

        return null;
    }


    public void isInternetConnectionAvailable(InternetCheckListener x){
        listener=x;
        execute();
    }

    private boolean isNetworkAvailable() {
        ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) activity.getSystemService(CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        NetworkInfo activeNetworkInfo = connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo();
        return activeNetworkInfo != null;
    }
    private boolean hasInternetAccess() {
        if (isNetworkAvailable()) {
            try {
                HttpURLConnection urlc = (HttpURLConnection) (new URL("http://clients3.google.com/generate_204").openConnection());
                urlc.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Android");
                urlc.setRequestProperty("Connection", "close");
                urlc.setConnectTimeout(1500);
                urlc.connect();
                return (urlc.getResponseCode() == 204 &&
                        urlc.getContentLength() == 0);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        } else {
            Log.d("TAG", "No network available!");
        }
        return false;
    }

    public interface InternetCheckListener{
        void onComplete(boolean connected);
    }

}

Second: instantiate an instance of the class in the main thread and wait for the response (if you have worked with Firebase api for android before this should be familiar to you!).

new InternetCheck(activity).isInternetConnectionAvailable(new InternetCheck.InternetCheckListener() {

        @Override
        public void onComplete(boolean connected) {
           //proceed!
        }
    });

Now inside onComplete method you will get whether the device is connected to the internet or not.
