Check the status of Internet Connection while Opening an Application in Android

In this blog we will learn how to check the status of the internet connection for further navigation to other activities in android.

For this purpose we will use ConnectivityManager and by using getAllNetworkInfo we can get Network Information and can get state of Network.

With the help of NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED.

We need to add permissions of ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE and INTERNET in AndroidManifest file .
For instance:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

ConnectivityManager:

1. It is used to monitor network connections (Wi-Fi, GPRS, UMTS, etc.).
2. It is also used to send broadcast intents when network connectivity changes.

getAllNetworkInfo ():

It returns connection status information about all network types supported by the device.

Method:

public static boolean internetConnectionCheck(Activity CurrentActivity) {
    Boolean Connected = false;
    ConnectivityManager connectivity = (ConnectivityManager) CurrentActivity.getApplicationContext()
        .getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    if (connectivity != null) {
        NetworkInfo[] info = connectivity.getAllNetworkInfo();
        if (info != null) for (int i = 0; i < info.length; i++)
        if (info[i].getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED) {
            Log.e("My Network is: ", "Connected");
            Connected = true;
        } else {}
    } else {
        Log.e("My Network is: ", "Not Connected");

        Toast.makeText(CurrentActivity.getApplicationContext(),
            "Please Check Your internet connection",
        Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        Connected = false;

    }
    return Connected;
}
