Android check internet connection [duplicate]

Answer 1

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.

All official methods only tells whether a device is open for network or not,
If your device is connected to Wifi but Wifi is not connected to internet then these method will fail (Which happen many time), No inbuilt network detection method will tell about this scenario, so created Async Callback class which will return in onConnectionSuccess and onConnectionFail

new CheckNetworkConnection(this, new CheckNetworkConnection.OnConnectionCallback() {

    @Override
    public void onConnectionSuccess() {
        Toast.makeText(context, "onSuccess()", toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

    @Override
    public void onConnectionFail(String msg) {
        Toast.makeText(context, "onFail()", toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}).execute();

Network Call from async Task

public class CheckNetworkConnection extends AsyncTask < Void, Void, Boolean > {
    private OnConnectionCallback onConnectionCallback;
    private Context context;

    public CheckNetworkConnection(Context con, OnConnectionCallback onConnectionCallback) {
        super();
        this.onConnectionCallback = onConnectionCallback;
        this.context = con;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        super.onPreExecute();
    }

    @Override
    protected Boolean doInBackground(Void...params) {
        if (context == null)
            return false;

        boolean isConnected = new NetWorkInfoUtility().isNetWorkAvailableNow(context);
        return isConnected;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Boolean b) {
        super.onPostExecute(b);

        if (b) {
            onConnectionCallback.onConnectionSuccess();
        } else {
            String msg = "No Internet Connection";
            if (context == null)
                msg = "Context is null";
            onConnectionCallback.onConnectionFail(msg);
        }

    }

    public interface OnConnectionCallback {
        void onConnectionSuccess();

        void onConnectionFail(String errorMsg);
    }
}

Actual Class which will ping to server

class NetWorkInfoUtility {

    public boolean isWifiEnable() {
        return isWifiEnable;
    }

    public void setIsWifiEnable(boolean isWifiEnable) {
        this.isWifiEnable = isWifiEnable;
    }

    public boolean isMobileNetworkAvailable() {
        return isMobileNetworkAvailable;
    }

    public void setIsMobileNetworkAvailable(boolean isMobileNetworkAvailable) {
        this.isMobileNetworkAvailable = isMobileNetworkAvailable;
    }

    private boolean isWifiEnable = false;
    private boolean isMobileNetworkAvailable = false;

    public boolean isNetWorkAvailableNow(Context context) {
        boolean isNetworkAvailable = false;

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

        setIsWifiEnable(connectivityManager.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI).isConnected());
        setIsMobileNetworkAvailable(connectivityManager.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE).isConnected());

        if (isWifiEnable() || isMobileNetworkAvailable()) {
            /*Sometime wifi is connected but service provider never connected to internet
            so cross check one more time*/
            if (isOnline())
                isNetworkAvailable = true;
        }

        return isNetworkAvailable;
    }

    public boolean isOnline() {
        /*Just to check Time delay*/
        long t = Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis();

        Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
        try {
            /*Pinging to Google server*/
            Process ipProcess = runtime.exec("/system/bin/ping -c 1 8.8.8.8");
            int exitValue = ipProcess.waitFor();
            return (exitValue == 0);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            long t2 = Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis();
            Log.i("NetWork check Time", (t2 - t) + "");
        }
        return false;
    }
}

Answer 3

The accepted answer's EDIT shows how to check if something on the internet can be reached. I had to wait too long for an answer when this was not the case (with a wifi that does NOT have an internet connection). Unfortunately InetAddress.getByName does not have a timeout parameter, so the next code works around that:

private boolean internetConnectionAvailable(int timeOut) {
    InetAddress inetAddress = null;
    try {
        Future<InetAddress> future = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor().submit(new Callable<InetAddress>() {
            @Override
            public InetAddress call() {
                try {
                    return InetAddress.getByName("google.com");
                } catch (UnknownHostException e) {
                    return null;
                }
            }
        });
        inetAddress = future.get(timeOut, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
        future.cancel(true);
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
    } catch (ExecutionException e) {
    } catch (TimeoutException e) {
    } 
    return inetAddress!=null && !inetAddress.equals("");
}

Answer 4

Here is a function which I use as a part of my Utils class:

public static boolean isNetworkConnected(Context context) {
    ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    return (cm.getActiveNetworkInfo() != null) && cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnectedOrConnecting();
}

Use it like: Utils.isNetworkConnected(MainActivity.this);

Answer 5

You cannot create a method inside another method, move private boolean checkInternetConnection() { method out of onCreate

Answer 6

Try the following code:

public static boolean isNetworkAvailable(Context context) {
        boolean outcome = false;

        if (context != null) {
            ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) context
                    .getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

            NetworkInfo[] networkInfos = cm.getAllNetworkInfo();

            for (NetworkInfo tempNetworkInfo : networkInfos) {


                /**
                 * Can also check if the user is in roaming
                 */
                if (tempNetworkInfo.isConnected()) {
                    outcome = true;
                    break;
                }
            }
        }

        return outcome;
    }
