How to check Internet connection availability on Android?


This example demonstrates how do I check internet connection availability in android.

Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project

Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
   xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   tools:context=".MainActivity">
   <TextView
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:text="Connection Status: "
      android:textSize="20sp"
      android:textStyle="bold"
      app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
      app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
      app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
      app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java

import android.net.ConnectivityManager;
import android.net.NetworkInfo;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
      if (haveNetwork()){
         Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Network connection is available", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
      } else if (!haveNetwork()) {
         Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Network connection is not available", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
      }
   }
   private boolean haveNetwork(){
      boolean have_WIFI= false;
      boolean have_MobileData = false;
      ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager)getSystemService(CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
      NetworkInfo[] networkInfos = connectivityManager.getAllNetworkInfo();
      for(NetworkInfo info:networkInfos){
         if (info.getTypeName().equalsIgnoreCase("WIFI"))if (info.isConnected())have_WIFI=true;
         if (info.getTypeName().equalsIgnoreCase("MOBILE DATA"))if (info.isConnected())have_MobileData=true;
      }
      return have_WIFI||have_MobileData;
   }
}

Step 4 − Add the following code to androidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="app.com.sample">
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
   <application
      android:allowBackup="true"
      android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
      android:supportsRtl="true"
      android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
      <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
         <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
         </intent-filter>
      </activity>
   </application>
</manifest>

Let's try to run your application. I assume you have connected your actual Android Mobile device with your computer. To run the app from android studio, open one of your project's activity files and click Run  icon from the toolbar. Select your mobile device as an option and then check your mobile device which will display your default screen −
