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 && 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.
