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

The latest way to do that from the documentation is to use the ConnectivityManager to query the active network and determine if it has Internet connectivity.

public boolean hasInternetConnectivity() {
    ConnectivityManager cm =
        (ConnectivityManager)context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

    NetworkInfo activeNetwork = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
    return (activeNetwork != null &&
                      activeNetwork.isConnectedOrConnecting());
}

Add these two permissions to your AndroidManifest.xml file:
