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 still have a 3G connection   android net wifi WifiManager m    WifiManager  getSystemService WIFI SERVICE   android net wifi SupplicantState s   m getConnectionInfo   getSupplicantState    NetworkInfo DetailedState state   WifiInfo getDetailedStateOf s   if  state    NetworkInfo DetailedState CONNECTED        return false      However  the state is not what I would expect  Even though Wi-Fi is connected  I am getting OBTAINING IPADDR as the state

Many of answers use deprecated code  or code available on higer API versions  Now I use something like this  ConnectivityManager connectivityManager    ConnectivityManager  context getSystemService Context CONNECTIVITY SERVICE           if connectivityManager    null                for  Network net   connectivityManager getAllNetworks                      NetworkCapabilities nc   connectivityManager getNetworkCapabilities net                   if  nc    null  amp  amp  nc hasTransport NetworkCapabilities TRANSPORT WIFI                           amp  amp  nc hasCapability NetworkCapabilities NET CAPABILITY INTERNET                       return true                                  return false

Since the method NetworkInfo isConnected   is now deprecated in API-23  here is a method which detects if the Wi-Fi adapter is on and also connected to an access point using WifiManager instead   private boolean checkWifiOnAndConnected         WifiManager wifiMgr    WifiManager  getSystemService Context WIFI SERVICE        if  wifiMgr isWifiEnabled         Wi-Fi adapter is ON          WifiInfo wifiInfo   wifiMgr getConnectionInfo             if  wifiInfo getNetworkId      -1                return false     Not connected to an access point                   return true     Connected to an access point           else           return false     Wi-Fi adapter is OFF

The following code  in Kotlin  works from API 21 until at least current API version  API 29   The function getWifiState   returns one of 3 possible values for the WiFi network state  Disable  EnabledNotConnected and Connected that were defined in an enum class  This allows to take more granular decisions like informing the user to enable WiFi or  if already enabled  to connect to one of the available networks  But if all that is needed is a boolean indicating if the WiFi interface is connected to a network  then the other function isWifiConnected   will give you that  It uses the previous one and compares the result to Connected   It s inspired in some of the previous answers but trying to solve the problems introduced by the evolution of Android API s or the slowly increasing availability of IP V6  The trick was to use   wifiManager connectionInfo bssid    null    instead of    getIpAddress      0 that is only valid for IP V4 or getNetworkId      -1 that now requires another special permission  Location    According to the documentation  https   developer android com reference kotlin android net wifi WifiInfo html getbssid it will return null if not connected to a network  And even if we do not have permission to get the real value  it will still return something other than null if we are connected   Also have the following in mind      On releases before android os Build VERSION CODES N  this object   should only be obtained from an Context getApplicationContext    and   not from any other derived context to avoid memory leaks within the   calling process    In the Manifest  do not forget to add    lt uses-permission android name  android permission ACCESS WIFI STATE   gt    Proposed code is   class MyViewModel application  Application    AndroidViewModel application           Get application context     private val myAppContext  Context   getApplication lt Application gt    applicationContext        Define the different possible states for the WiFi Connection     internal enum class WifiState           Disabled                   WiFi is not enabled         EnabledNotConnected        WiFi is enabled but we are not connected to any WiFi network         Connected                  Connected to a WiFi network               Get the current state of the WiFi network     private fun getWifiState     WifiState            val wifiManager   WifiManager   myAppContext applicationContext getSystemService Context WIFI SERVICE  as WifiManager          return if  wifiManager isWifiEnabled                        if  wifiManager connectionInfo bssid    null                          WifiState Connected                     else                         WifiState EnabledNotConnected                  else                       WifiState Disabled                                Returns true if we are connected to a WiFi network     private fun isWiFiConnected     Boolean           return  getWifiState      WifiState Connected

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  gt   Build VERSION CODES M        val network  Network   connMgr activeNetwork    return false     val capabilities   connMgr getNetworkCapabilities network      return capabilities    null  amp  amp  capabilities hasTransport NetworkCapabilities TRANSPORT WIFI    else       val networkInfo   connMgr activeNetworkInfo    return false     return networkInfo isConnected  amp  amp  networkInfo type    ConnectivityManager TYPE WIFI     Java   ConnectivityManager connMgr    ConnectivityManager  getApplicationContext   getSystemService Context CONNECTIVITY SERVICE   if  connMgr    null        return false    if  Build VERSION SDK INT  gt   Build VERSION CODES M        Network network   connMgr getActiveNetwork        if  network    null  return false      NetworkCapabilities capabilities   connMgr getNetworkCapabilities network       return capabilities    null  amp  amp  capabilities hasTransport NetworkCapabilities TRANSPORT WIFI     else       NetworkInfo networkInfo   connMgr getActiveNetworkInfo        return networkInfo isConnected    amp  amp  networkInfo getType      ConnectivityManager TYPE WIFI      Remember to also add permission ACCESS NETWORK STATE to your Manifest file

You should be able to use the ConnectivityManager to get the state of the Wi-Fi adapter  From there you can check if it is connected or even available   ConnectivityManager connManager    ConnectivityManager  getSystemService Context CONNECTIVITY SERVICE   NetworkInfo mWifi   connManager getNetworkInfo ConnectivityManager TYPE WIFI    if  mWifi isConnected             Do whatever     NOTE  It should be noted  for us n00bies here  that you need to add   lt uses-permission android name  android permission ACCESS NETWORK STATE    gt    to your  AndroidManifest xml for this to work   NOTE2  public NetworkInfo getNetworkInfo  int networkType  is now deprecated      This method was deprecated in API level 23  This method does not   support multiple connected networks of the same type  Use   getAllNetworks   and getNetworkInfo android net Network  instead    NOTE3  public static final int TYPE WIFI is now deprecated      This constant was deprecated in API level 28    Applications should instead use NetworkCapabilities hasTransport int  or requestNetwork NetworkRequest  NetworkCallback  to request an appropriate network  for supported transports
