Check internet connection in android (not network connection)

Question

I have a problem with checking internet connection in android at runtime. I use some different methods to check internet connection but i don\'t know which one is better . b

Answer 1

I'm using broadcast to check the connection every time. Create a class for connection info.

import android.content.Context;
import android.content.ContextWrapper;
import android.net.ConnectivityManager;
import android.net.NetworkInfo;


public class ConnectivityStatus extends ContextWrapper{

    public ConnectivityStatus(Context base) {
        super(base);
    }

    public static boolean isConnected(Context context){

        ConnectivityManager manager = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        NetworkInfo connection = manager.getActiveNetworkInfo();
        if (connection != null && connection.isConnectedOrConnecting()){
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
}

Apply code into your Activity:

 private BroadcastReceiver receiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
 @Override
 public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        if(!ConnectivityStatus.isConnected(getContext())){
            // no connection
        }else {
            // connected
        }
    }
 };

Register broadcast in your activity's onCreate() method:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.your_layout);
    your_activity_context.registerReceiver(receiver, new IntentFilter(ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION));
    ..
    ...
    ....
  }

Don't forget to unregistered/register on Activity cycle:

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    your_activity_context.registerReceiver(receiver, new IntentFilter(ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION));

}

@Override
protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    your_activity_context.unregisterReceiver(receiver);

}
