[android] How to check currently internet connection is available or not in android

I want to execute my application offline also, so I need to check if currently an internet connection is available or not. Can anybody tell me how to check if internet is available or not in android? Give sample code. I tried with the code below and checked using an emulator but it's not working

public  boolean isInternetConnection() 
{ 

    ConnectivityManager connectivityManager =  (ConnectivityManager)context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    return connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnectedOrConnecting(); 
} 

Thanks

This question is related to android internet-connection

The answer is


You can try this:

private boolean isConnectedToWifi(){
    ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) getApplication().getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    if(cm != null){    
        NetworkCapabilities nc = cm.getNetworkCapabilities(cm.getActiveNetwork());
        return nc.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI);
    }
    return false;
}

You can use two method :

1 - for check connection :

   private boolean isNetworkConnected() {
        ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) getContext().getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        return cm.getActiveNetworkInfo() != null;
    }

2 - for check internet :

  public boolean internetIsConnected() {
        try {
            String command = "ping -c 1 google.com";
            return (Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command).waitFor() == 0);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            return false;
        }
    }

Add permissions to manifest :

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

Also, be aware that sometimes the user will be connected to a Wi-Fi network, but that network might require browser-based authentication. Most airport and hotel hotspots are like that, so you application might be fooled into thinking you have connectivity, and then any URL fetches will actually retrieve the hotspot's login page instead of the page you are looking for.

Depending on the importance of performing this check, in addition to checking the connection with ConnectivityManager, I'd suggest including code to check that it's a working Internet connection and not just an illusion. You can do that by trying to fetch a known address/resource from your site, like a 1x1 PNG image or 1-byte text file.


try using ConnectivityManager

ConnectivityManager connectivity = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    if (connectivity != null) {
        NetworkInfo[] info = connectivity.getAllNetworkInfo();
        if (info != null) {
            for (int i = 0; i < info.length; i++) {
                if (info[i].getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED) {
                    return true;
                }
            }
        }
    }
 return false

Also Add permission to AndroidManifest.xml

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

Use Below Code:

private boolean isNetworkAvailable() {
  ConnectivityManager connectivityManager 
      = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
  NetworkInfo activeNetworkInfo = connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo();
  return activeNetworkInfo != null && activeNetworkInfo.isConnected();
}

if isNetworkAvailable() returns true then internet connection available, otherwise internet connection not available

Here need to add below uses-permission in your application Manifest file

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

This function works fine...

public void checkConnection()
    {
        ConnectivityManager connectivityManager=(ConnectivityManager)

                this.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);


  NetworkInfo wifi=connectivityManager.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI);


 NetworkInfo  network=connectivityManager.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE);


        if (wifi.isConnected())
        {
           //Internet available

        }
        else if(network.isConnected())
        {
             //Internet available


        }
        else
        {
             //Internet is not available
        }
    }

Add the permission to AndroidManifest.xml

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

use the next code:

public static boolean isNetworkAvaliable(Context ctx) {
    ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) ctx
            .getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    if ((connectivityManager
            .getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE) != null && connectivityManager
            .getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE).getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED)
            || (connectivityManager
                    .getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI) != null && connectivityManager
                    .getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI)
                    .getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED)) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

remember that yo need put in your manifest the next line:

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

public static   boolean isInternetConnection(Context mContext)
{
    ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager)mContext.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    if(connectivityManager.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE).getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED ||
            connectivityManager.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI).getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED) {
        //we are connected to a network
        return  true;
    }
    else {
        return false;
    }
}

  public  boolean isInternetConnection()
    {
        ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager)getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        if(connectivityManager.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE).getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED ||
                connectivityManager.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI).getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED) {
            //we are connected to a network
            return  true;
        }
        else {
            return false;
        }
    }

This code to check the network availability for all versions of Android including Android 9.0 and above:

public static boolean isNetworkConnected(Context  context) {
    ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    NetworkInfo activeNetworkInfo = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
    // For 29 api or above
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) {
        NetworkCapabilities capabilities = cm.getNetworkCapabilities(cm.getActiveNetwork());
        return capabilities.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI) ||
                capabilities.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_ETHERNET) ||
                capabilities.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_CELLULAR);
    } else return activeNetworkInfo != null && activeNetworkInfo.isConnected();
}

Don't forget to add network-state permission in your manifest

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

Also, add @SuppressWarnings( "deprecation" ) before the method to avoid android studio deprecation warning.


Use the method checkConnectivity:

  if (checkConnectivity()){
    //do something 

    }

Method to check your connectivity:

private boolean checkConnectivity() {
        boolean enabled = true;

        ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) this.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        NetworkInfo info = connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo();

        if ((info == null || !info.isConnected() || !info.isAvailable())) {
                            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Sin conexión a Internet...", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            return false;
        } else {
            return true;
        }

        return false;
    }

You can just try to establish a TCP connection to a remote host:

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:

boolean online = hostAvailable("www.google.com", 80);

public boolean isOnline() {
    ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    NetworkInfo netInfo = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
    if (netInfo != null && netInfo.isConnectedOrConnecting()) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

Google recommends this code block for checking internet connection. Because the device may have not internet connection even if it is connected to WiFi.


if you want to check the internet connection and it changes such wifi disconnection or mobile data you can use this library.

Use ConnectivityManager Service

...
...
import android.net.ConnectivityManager;
....
....
public class Utils {

   static ConnectivityManager connectivityManager;
   ....
   ....

    public static String isOnline(Context context) {
        JSONArray array = new JSONArray();
        JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();
        try {
            jsonObject.put("connected","false");
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        try {
            connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) context
                    .getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

            NetworkInfo networkInfo = connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo();
            Log.i("networkInfo", networkInfo.toString());
            jsonObject.put("connected",(networkInfo != null && networkInfo.isAvailable() &&
                    networkInfo.isConnected()));
            jsonObject.put("isAvailable",(networkInfo.isAvailable()));
            jsonObject.put("isConnected",(networkInfo.isConnected()));
            jsonObject.put("typeName",(networkInfo.getTypeName()));
            array.put(jsonObject);
            return array.toString();


        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("CheckConnectivity Exception: " + e.getMessage());
            Log.v("connectivity", e.toString());
        }
        array.put(jsonObject);
        return array.toString();
    }

}

This will show an dialog error box if there is not network connectivity

    ConnectivityManager connMgr = (ConnectivityManager)getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    NetworkInfo networkInfo = connMgr.getActiveNetworkInfo();

    if (networkInfo != null && networkInfo.isConnected()) {
        // fetch data
    } else {
        new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
            .setTitle("Connection Failure")
            .setMessage("Please Connect to the Internet")
            .setPositiveButton(android.R.string.ok, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                }
            })
            .setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert)
            .show();
    }

public boolean isNetworkAvailable(Context context) {
    ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) context
            .getSystemService(context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    NetworkInfo activeNetworkInfo = connectivityManager
            .getActiveNetworkInfo();
    return activeNetworkInfo != null && activeNetworkInfo.isConnected();
}

Deprecated on API 29.

getActiveNetworkInfo is deprecated from in API 29. So we can use it in bellow 29.

New code in Kotlin for All the API

fun isNetworkAvailable(context: Context): Boolean {
    val connectivityManager = context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE) as ConnectivityManager
   
    // For 29 api or above
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) {
        val capabilities = connectivityManager.getNetworkCapabilities(connectivityManager.activeNetwork) ?: return false
        return when {
            capabilities.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI) ->    true
            capabilities.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_ETHERNET) ->   true
            capabilities.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_CELLULAR) ->   true
            else ->     false
         }
    }
    // For below 29 api
    else {
        if (connectivityManager.activeNetworkInfo != null && connectivityManager.activeNetworkInfo!!.isConnectedOrConnecting) {
            return true
        }
    }
    return false
