Broadcast receiver for checking internet connection in android app

Question

I am developing an android broadcast receiver for checking internet connection.

The problem is that my broadcast receiver is being called two times. I want it to get

Answer 1

Use this method to check the network state:

private void checkInternetConnection() {

    if (br == null) {

        br = new BroadcastReceiver() {

            @Override
            public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

                Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();

                NetworkInfo info = (NetworkInfo) extras
                        .getParcelable("networkInfo");

                State state = info.getState();
                Log.d("TEST Internet", info.toString() + " "
                        + state.toString());

                if (state == State.CONNECTED) {
                      Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Internet connection is on", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

                } else {
                       Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Internet connection is Off", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                }

            }
        };

        final IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter();
        intentFilter.addAction(ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION);
        registerReceiver((BroadcastReceiver) br, intentFilter);
    }
}

remember to unregister service in onDestroy.

Cheers!!

Broadcast receiver code to check internet connectivity change:

public class BroadCastDetecter extends BroadcastReceiver {
    public static boolean internet_status = false;
    public static void checkInternetConenction(Context context) {
        internet_status = false;
        ConnectivityManager check = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        if (check != null) {
            NetworkInfo[] info = check.getAllNetworkInfo();
            if (info != null)
                for (int i = 0; i < info.length; i++)
                {
                    if (info[i].getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED) {
                        internet_status = true;
                    }
                }
            if(internet_status)
            {
               //do what you want to if internet connection is available
            }
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
    {
        try {
            checkInternetConenction(context);
        }catch(Exception e){

        }
    }
}

add this in manifest file:

 <receiver android:name=".BroadCastDetecter">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE" />
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>

public class AsyncCheckInternet extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Boolean> {

public static final int TIME_OUT = 10 * 1000;

private OnCallBack listener;

public interface OnCallBack {

    public void onBack(Boolean value);
}

public AsyncCheckInternet(OnCallBack listener) {
    this.listener = listener;
}

@Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
}

@Override
protected Boolean doInBackground(String... params) {

    ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) General.context
            .getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

    NetworkInfo networkInfo = connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo();

    if ((networkInfo != null && networkInfo.isConnected())
            && ((networkInfo.getType() == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI) || (networkInfo
                    .getType() == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE))) {
        HttpURLConnection urlc;
        try {
            urlc = (HttpURLConnection) (new URL("http://www.google.com")
                    .openConnection());
            urlc.setConnectTimeout(TIME_OUT);
            urlc.connect();
            if (urlc.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
                return true;
            } else {
                return false;
            }
        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return false;

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return false;

        }
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

@Override
protected void onPostExecute(Boolean result) {
    if (listener != null) {
        listener.onBack(result);
    }
}

}
