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

You can do this using the ConnectivityManager API for android. It allows you to check whether you are connected to the internet and the type of internet connection you are connected to. Basically, Metered or Un-metered.

To check for internet connection.

ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager)context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo activeNetwork = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
boolean isConnected = activeNetwork != null && activeNetwork.isConnectedOrConnecting();
