Instead of checking WIFI connection or Mobile data connection  try hitting any hosted domain  So that  you can check whether the WIFI Mobile connection has ability to connect public Internet   The below will return if your mobile device is able to connect with the public domain provided   boolean isReachable                         boolean connected   false              String instanceURL    Your trusted domain name               Socket socket              try                   socket   new Socket                    SocketAddress socketAddress   new InetSocketAddress instanceURL  80                   socket connect socketAddress  5000                   if  socket isConnected                          connected   true                      socket close                                    catch  IOException e                    e printStackTrace                  finally                   socket   null                            return connected              Hope it will be helpful

The other answers that use ConnectivityManager are wrong because having a network connection doesn t mean you have internet access  For example  the user might be connected to a coffee shop s WiFi portal but can t get to the internet  To check that the internet is accessible you have to try to connect to an actual server  Normally when you want to do this you have a specific server in mind that you want to connect to  so go ahead and check if you can connect to that server  Here s a simple method for checking connectivity to a server   private boolean isOnTheInternet         try           URLConnection urlConnection   new URL  http   yourserver   openConnection            urlConnection setConnectTimeout 400           urlConnection connect            return true        catch  Exception e            return false            The reason for setting the ConnectTimeout is that otherwise it defaults to the TCP timeout which can be many seconds long    Note also that Android won t let you run this on your main thread

Most of the answers in this thread only check if there is a connection available but do not check if that connection work  others answers are not device wide  my solution should work on every device   You can drop my code in your main activity before launching the app  it will quickly determine if there is an actual internet connectivity  if there is the dialog will be immediately dropped and the app will be launched  if not an alert will pop up saying the app needs internet connectivity to work   final AlertDialog alertDialog   new AlertDialog Builder this  create            alertDialog setTitle  Checking Connection            alertDialog setMessage  Checking               alertDialog show            new CountDownTimer 5000  1000                 Override             public void onTick long millisUntilFinished                     new Thread new Runnable                         public void run                             try                               URL url   new URL  http   web mit edu                                 HttpURLConnection connection    HttpURLConnection  url openConnection                                connection setRequestMethod  GET                                connection setConnectTimeout 5000                               isConnected   connection getResponseCode      HttpURLConnection HTTP OK                            catch  Exception e                                e printStackTrace                                                                       start                     if  isConnected    false                       alertDialog setMessage  Try       5 - millisUntilFinished 1000      of 5                       else                       alertDialog dismiss                                                 Override             public void onFinish                     if  isConnected    false                        alertDialog dismiss                        new AlertDialog Builder activity                               setTitle  No Internet                                setMessage  Please connect to Internet first                                 setPositiveButton android R string yes  new DialogInterface OnClickListener                                     public void onClick DialogInterface dialog  int which                                           kill the app                                                                                                setIcon android R drawable ic dialog alert                               show                      else                          Launch the app                                           start

I have applied the solution provided by  Levit and created function that will not call the extra Http Request   It will solve the error Unable to Resolve Host  public static boolean isInternetAvailable Context context        ConnectivityManager cm    ConnectivityManager  context getSystemService Context CONNECTIVITY SERVICE       NetworkInfo activeNetwork   cm getActiveNetworkInfo        if  activeNetwork    null  return false       switch  activeNetwork getType              case ConnectivityManager TYPE WIFI              if   activeNetwork getState      NetworkInfo State CONNECTED                        activeNetwork getState      NetworkInfo State CONNECTING   amp  amp                      isInternet                    return true              break          case ConnectivityManager TYPE MOBILE              if   activeNetwork getState      NetworkInfo State CONNECTED                        activeNetwork getState      NetworkInfo State CONNECTING   amp  amp                      isInternet                    return true              break          default              return false            return false     private static boolean isInternet          Runtime runtime   Runtime getRuntime        try           Process ipProcess   runtime exec   system bin ping -c 1 8 8 8 8            int exitValue   ipProcess waitFor            Debug i exitValue                return  exitValue    0         catch  IOException   InterruptedException e            e printStackTrace               return false      Now call it like   if   isInternetAvailable getActivity              Show message   else          Perfoem the api request

This my workaround to solve this problem and check the valid internet connection because as they said that Network info class cannot give you the expected result and it may return true when network connected but no internet  So this my COMPLETE WORKAROUND based on  Levite Answer  First you must have AsynckTask for checking Network availability and this is mine  public class Connectivity

If the device is in airplane mode  or presumably in other situations where there s no available network   cm getActiveNetworkInfo   will be null  so you need to add a null check   Modified  Eddie s solution  below   public boolean isOnline         ConnectivityManager cm            ConnectivityManager  getSystemService Context CONNECTIVITY SERVICE       NetworkInfo netInfo   cm getActiveNetworkInfo        return netInfo    null  amp  amp  netInfo isConnectedOrConnecting        Also add the following permission to the AndroidManifest xml    lt uses-permission android name  android permission ACCESS NETWORK STATE    gt    One other small point  if you absolutely need a network connection at the given point in time  then it might be better to use netInfo isConnected   rather than netInfo isConnectedOrConnecting   I guess this is up to the individual use-case however

Of everything I have seen so far shortest and cleanest way should be   public final static boolean isConnected  Context context           final ConnectivityManager connectivityManager              ConnectivityManager  context getSystemService  Context CONNECTIVITY SERVICE         final NetworkInfo networkInfo   connectivityManager getActiveNetworkInfo           return networkInfo    null  amp  amp  networkInfo isConnected        PS  This does not ping any host  it just checks the connectionstatus  so if your router has no internet connection and your device is connected to it this method would return true although you have no internet  For an actual test I would recommend execuding a HttpHead request  e g  to www google com  and check the status  if its 200 OK everything is fine and your device has an internet connection

Just create the following class which checks for an internet connection   public class ConnectionStatus        private Context  context       public ConnectionStatus Context context            this  context   context             public boolean isConnectionAvailable             ConnectivityManager connectivity    ConnectivityManager   context                  getSystemService Context CONNECTIVITY SERVICE           if  connectivity    null                NetworkInfo   info   connectivity getAllNetworkInfo                if  info    null                  for  int i   0  i  lt  info length  i                        if  info i  getState      NetworkInfo State CONNECTED                            return true                                          return false            This class simply contains a method which returns the boolean value of the connection status  Therefore in simple terms  if the method finds a valid connection to the Internet  the return value is true  otherwise false if no valid connection is found   The following method in the MainActivity then calls the result from the method previously described  and prompts the user to act accordingly   public void addListenerOnWifiButton             Button btnWifi    Button findViewById R id btnWifi            iia   new ConnectionStatus getApplicationContext              isConnected   iia isConnectionAvailable            if   isConnected                btnWifi setOnClickListener new View OnClickListener                       Override                 public void onClick View v                        startActivity new Intent Settings ACTION WIFI SETTINGS                        Toast makeText getBaseContext     Please connect to a hotspot                               Toast LENGTH SHORT  show                                                        else               btnWifi setVisibility 4               warning setText  This app may use your mobile data to update events and get their details                       In the above code  if the result is false   therefore there is no internet connection  the user is taken to the Android wi-fi panel  where he is prompted to connect to a wi-fi hotspot

Android provides ConnectivityManager class to know about the internet connection status  The following method will be very useful to know internet connection state   First add the INTERNET and ACCESS NETWORK STATE permission to AndroidManifest xml   lt uses-permission android name  android permission INTERNET    gt   lt uses-permission android name  android permission ACCESS NETWORK STATE    gt    Then use the below method to check if the device is connected to internet or not  This method will return true if the device is connected to internet   public boolean isInternetAvailable Context context        ConnectivityManager connectivityManager    ConnectivityManager       context getSystemService Context CONNECTIVITY SERVICE       NetworkInfo activeNetwork   connectivityManager getActiveNetworkInfo        return activeNetwork    null              amp  amp  activeNetwork isConnectedOrConnecting        Reference Link  - http   www androidtutorialshub com android-check-internet-connection-status

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 me it was not a good practice to check the connection state in the Activity class  because   ConnectivityManager cm        ConnectivityManager  getSystemService Context CONNECTIVITY SERVICE     should be called there  or you need to push down your Activity instance  context  to the connection handler class to able to check the connection state there When no available connection  wifi  network  I catch the UnknownHostException exception   JSONObject jObj   null  Boolean responded   false  HttpGet requestForTest   new HttpGet  http   myserver com    try       new DefaultHttpClient   execute requestForTest       responded   true    catch  UnknownHostException e        jObj   new JSONObject        try           jObj put  answer code   1           jObj put  answer text    No available connection          catch  Exception e1         return jObj    catch  IOException e        e printStackTrace        In this way I can handle this case along with the other cases in the same class  my server always response back with a json string
