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 connect         


        

Answer 1

If you're targeting Lollipop or higher it's possible to use the new NetworkCapabilities class, i.e:

public static boolean hasInternetConnection(final Context context) {
    final ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager)context.
            getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

    final Network network = connectivityManager.getActiveNetwork();
    final NetworkCapabilities capabilities = connectivityManager
            .getNetworkCapabilities(network);

    return capabilities != null
            && capabilities.hasCapability(NetworkCapabilities.NET_CAPABILITY_VALIDATED);
}
