Android: Check network and real internet connectivity

Question

Below is the piece of Android code which works fine to check if network is connected or not.

public static boolean isNetworkAvailable(Context context) 
{
            


        

Answer 1

check this code... it worked for me :)

public static void isNetworkAvailable(final Handler handler, final int timeout) {

        // ask fo message '0' (not connected) or '1' (connected) on 'handler'
        // the answer must be send before before within the 'timeout' (in milliseconds)

        new Thread() {

            private boolean responded = false;

            @Override
            public void run() {

                // set 'responded' to TRUE if is able to connect with google mobile (responds fast)

                new Thread() {

                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        HttpGet requestForTest = new HttpGet("http://m.google.com");
                        try {
                            new DefaultHttpClient().execute(requestForTest); // can last...
                            responded = true;
                        } catch (Exception e) {}
                    }

                }.start();

                try {
                    int waited = 0;
                    while(!responded && (waited < timeout)) {
                        sleep(100);
                        if(!responded ) { 
                            waited += 100;
                        }
                    }
                } 
                catch(InterruptedException e) {} // do nothing 
                finally { 
                    if (!responded) { handler.sendEmptyMessage(0); } 
                    else { handler.sendEmptyMessage(1); }
                }

            }

        }.start();

}

Then, I define the handler:

Handler h = new Handler() {

    @Override
    public void handleMessage(Message msg) {

        if (msg.what != 1) { // code if not connected

        } else { // code if connected

        }

    }
};

and launch the test:

isNetworkAvailable(h,2000); // get the answser within 2000 ms
