How do I see if Wi-Fi is connected on Android?

Question

I don\'t want my user to even try downloading something unless they have Wi-Fi connected. However, I can only seem to be able to tell if Wi-Fi is enabled, but they could sti

Answer 1

This works for me:

    ConnectivityManager conMan = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

    // Mobile
    State mobile = conMan.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE).getState();

    // Wi-Fi
    State wifi = conMan.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI).getState();

    // And then use it like this:

    if (mobile == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED || mobile == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTING)
    {
        Toast.makeText(Wifi_Gprs.this,"Mobile is Enabled :) ....",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
    else if (wifi == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED || wifi == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTING)
    {
        Toast.makeText(Wifi_Gprs.this,"Wifi is Enabled  :) ....",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
    else
    {
        Toast.makeText(Wifi_Gprs.this,"No Wifi or Gprs Enabled :( ....",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }

And add this permission:

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

Answer 2

This is an easier solution. See Stack Overflow question Checking Wi-Fi enabled or not on Android.

P.S. Do not forget to add the code to the manifest.xml file to allow permission. As shown below.

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

Answer 3

The NetworkInfo class is deprecated as of API level 29, along with the related access methods like ConnectivityManager#getNetworkInfo() and ConnectivityManager#getActiveNetworkInfo().

The documentation now suggests people to use the ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback API for asynchronized callback monitoring, or use ConnectivityManager#getNetworkCapabilities or ConnectivityManager#getLinkProperties for synchronized access of network information

Callers should instead use the ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback API to learn about connectivity changes, or switch to use ConnectivityManager#getNetworkCapabilities or ConnectivityManager#getLinkProperties to get information synchronously.

To check if WiFi is connected, here's the code that I use:

Kotlin:

val connMgr = applicationContext.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE) as ConnectivityManager?
connMgr?: return false
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
    val network: Network = connMgr.activeNetwork ?: return false
    val capabilities = connMgr.getNetworkCapabilities(network)
    return capabilities != null && capabilities.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI)
} else {
    val networkInfo = connMgr.activeNetworkInfo ?: return false
    return networkInfo.isConnected && networkInfo.type == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI
}

Java:

ConnectivityManager connMgr = (ConnectivityManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
if (connMgr == null) {
    return false;
}
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
    Network network = connMgr.getActiveNetwork();
    if (network == null) return false;
    NetworkCapabilities capabilities = connMgr.getNetworkCapabilities(network);
    return capabilities != null && capabilities.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI);
} else {
    NetworkInfo networkInfo = connMgr.getActiveNetworkInfo();
    return networkInfo.isConnected() && networkInfo.getType() == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI;
}

Remember to also add permission ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE to your Manifest file.

Answer 4

ConnectivityManager manager = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
boolean is3g = manager.getNetworkInfo(
                  ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE).isConnectedOrConnecting();
boolean isWifi = manager.getNetworkInfo(
                    ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI).isConnectedOrConnecting();

Log.v("", is3g + " ConnectivityManager Test " + isWifi);
if (!is3g && !isWifi) {
    Toast.makeText(
        getApplicationContext(),
        "Please make sure, your network connection is ON ",
        Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
else {
    // Put your function() to go further;
}

Answer 5

Try

wifiManager.getConnectionInfo().getIpAddress()

This returns 0 until the device has a usable connection (on my machine, a Samsung SM-T280, Android 5.1.1).

Answer 6

val wifi = context!!.applicationContext.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE) as WifiManager?        
         if (wifi!!.isWifiEnabled) 
              //do action here
    
         else 
             //do action here
