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 connectivityManager              ConnectivityManager  getSystemService Context CONNECTIVITY SERVICE       NetworkInfo activeNetworkInfo   connectivityManager getActiveNetworkInfo        return activeNetworkInfo    null       Taken from Detect whether there is an Internet connection available on Android    But this is not right  for example if I m connected to a wireless network which doesn t have Internet access  this method will return true    Is there a way to tell if the device has Internet connection and not if it is only connected to something

You are right  The code you ve provided only checks if there is a network connection  The best way to check if there is an active Internet connection is to try and connect  to a known server via http   public static boolean hasActiveInternetConnection Context context        if  isNetworkAvailable context             try               HttpURLConnection urlc    HttpURLConnection   new URL  http   www google com   openConnection                 urlc setRequestProperty  User-Agent    Test                urlc setRequestProperty  Connection    close                urlc setConnectTimeout 1500                urlc connect                return  urlc getResponseCode      200             catch  IOException e                Log e LOG TAG   Error checking internet connection   e                   else           Log d LOG TAG   No network available               return false      Of course you can substitute the http   www google com URL for any other server you want to connect to  or a server you know has a good uptime   As Tony Cho also pointed out in this comment below  make sure you don t run this code on the main thread  otherwise you ll get a NetworkOnMainThread exception  in Android 3 0 or later   Use an AsyncTask or Runnable instead   If you want to use google com you should look at Jeshurun s modification  In his answer he modified my code and made it a bit more efficient  If you connect to   HttpURLConnection urlc    HttpURLConnection                new URL  http   clients3 google com generate 204                openConnection       and then check the responsecode for 204  return  urlc getResponseCode      204  amp  amp  urlc getContentLength      0     then you don t have to fetch the entire google home page first

You can do this with very simple class  class CheckInternet       fun isNetworkAvailable context  Context   Boolean           val connectivityManager               context getSystemService Context CONNECTIVITY SERVICE  as ConnectivityManager          val activeNetworkInfo   connectivityManager   activeNetworkInfo         return activeNetworkInfo    null  amp  amp  activeNetworkInfo isConnected          Now you can check this from any class  if  CheckInternet   isNetworkAvailable this         connected with internet  else      Not connected with internet

I have modified THelper s answer slightly  to use a known hack that Android already uses to check if the connected WiFi network has Internet access  This is a lot more efficient over grabbing the entire Google home page  See here and here for more info   public static boolean hasInternetAccess Context context        if  isNetworkAvailable context             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  amp  amp                          urlc getContentLength      0             catch  IOException e                Log e TAG   Error checking internet connection   e                   else           Log d TAG   No network available               return false

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 lt Void  Void  Void gt          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  amp  amp                          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

The latest way to do that from the documentation is to use the ConnectivityManager to query the active network and determine if it has Internet connectivity   public boolean hasInternetConnectivity         ConnectivityManager cm            ConnectivityManager context getSystemService Context CONNECTIVITY SERVICE        NetworkInfo activeNetwork   cm getActiveNetworkInfo        return  activeNetwork    null  amp  amp                        activeNetwork isConnectedOrConnecting         Add these two permissions to your AndroidManifest xml file    lt uses-permission android name  android permission INTERNET   gt   lt uses-permission android name  android permission ACCESS NETWORK STATE   gt

You don t necessarily need to make a full HTTP connection  You could try just opening a TCP connection to a known host and if it succeeds you have internet connectivity   public boolean hostAvailable String host  int port      try  Socket socket   new Socket          socket connect new InetSocketAddress host  port   2000       return true      catch  IOException e           Either we have a timeout or unreachable host or failed DNS lookup     System out println e       return false          Then just check with   boolean online   hostAvailable  www google com   80

You can do this using the ConnectivityManager API for android  It allows you to check whether you are connected to the internet and the type of internet connection you are connected to  Basically  Metered or Un-metered   To check for internet connection   ConnectivityManager cm    ConnectivityManager context getSystemService Context CONNECTIVITY SERVICE   NetworkInfo activeNetwork   cm getActiveNetworkInfo    boolean isConnected   activeNetwork    null  amp  amp  activeNetwork isConnectedOrConnecting      Documentation link  https   developer android com training monitoring-device-state connectivity-status-type

If all above answers get you FATAL EXCEPTIONs like android os NetworkOnMainThreadException  this answer will really help you   Because I got this error while trying to implement this   The reason for this error is that the Network related codes cannot be on the main thread   So  you need to create a new Thread as I shown below   Thread thread   new Thread new Runnable       Override public void run         try              Your code goes here       catch  Exception e            e printStackTrace                 And put your code in the place I commented
