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 lt InetAddress gt  future   Executors newSingleThreadExecutor   submit new Callable lt InetAddress gt                   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  amp  amp   inetAddress equals

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         lt uses-permission android name  android permission INTERNET    gt   lt uses-permission android name  android permission ACCESS NETWORK STATE    gt   lt uses-permission android name  android permission ACCESS WIFI STATE    gt    You can modify based on your requirement    Thank you

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  amp  amp  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

No need to be complex  The simplest and framework manner is to use ACCESS NETWORK STATE permission and just make a connected method  public boolean isOnline         ConnectivityManager cm    ConnectivityManager  getSystemService Context CONNECTIVITY SERVICE       return cm getActiveNetworkInfo      null  amp  amp  cm getActiveNetworkInfo   isConnectedOrConnecting        You can also use requestRouteToHost if you have a particualr host and connection type  wifi mobile  in mind   You will also need    lt uses-permission android name  android permission ACCESS NETWORK STATE    gt    in your android manifest   for more detail go here

You cannot create a method inside another method  move private boolean checkInternetConnection     method out of onCreate

User · Answer

Use this method   public static boolean isOnline         ConnectivityManager cm    ConnectivityManager  context              getSystemService Context CONNECTIVITY SERVICE       NetworkInfo netInfo   cm getActiveNetworkInfo        return netInfo    null  amp  amp  netInfo isConnectedOrConnecting        This is the permission needed    lt uses-permission android name  android permission ACCESS NETWORK STATE    gt
