Check Internet Connectivity

Introduction#

This method is used to check weather WI-Fi is connected or not.

Syntax#

isNetworkAvailable() : To check if Internet available on device

Parameters#

Parameter	Detail
Context	A reference of Activity context
## Remarks#
If internet connected then method will return true or false.
## Check if device has internet connectivity
Add the required network permissions to the application manifest file:

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

/**
 * If network connectivity is available, will return true
 *
 * @param context the current context
 * @return boolean true if a network connection is available
 */
public static boolean isNetworkAvailable(Context context) {
    ConnectivityManager connectivity = (ConnectivityManager) context
            .getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    if (connectivity == null) {
        Log.d("NetworkCheck", "isNetworkAvailable: No");
        return false;
    }

    // get network info for all of the data interfaces (e.g. WiFi, 3G, LTE, etc.)
    NetworkInfo[] info = connectivity.getAllNetworkInfo();

    // make sure that there is at least one interface to test against
    if (info != null) {
        // iterate through the interfaces
        for (int i = 0; i < info.length; i++) {
            // check this interface for a connected state
            if (info[i].getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED) {
                Log.d("NetworkCheck", "isNetworkAvailable: Yes");
                return true;
            }
        }
    }
    return false;
}

How to check network strength in android?

        ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        NetworkInfo Info = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
        if (Info == null || !Info.isConnectedOrConnecting()) {
            Log.i(TAG, "No connection");
        } else {
            int netType = Info.getType();
            int netSubtype = Info.getSubtype();

            if (netType == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI) {
                Log.i(TAG, "Wifi connection");
                WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) getApplication().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
                List<ScanResult> scanResult = wifiManager.getScanResults();
                for (int i = 0; i < scanResult.size(); i++) {
                    Log.d("scanResult", "Speed of wifi"+scanResult.get(i).level);//The db level of signal 
                }
                
                
                // Need to get wifi strength
            } else if (netType == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE) {
                Log.i(TAG, "GPRS/3G connection");
                // Need to get differentiate between 3G/GPRS
            }
        }

How to check network strength

To check exact strength in decibels use this-

ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    NetworkInfo Info = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
    if (Info == null || !Info.isConnectedOrConnecting()) {
        Log.i(TAG, "No connection");
    } else {
        int netType = Info.getType();
        int netSubtype = Info.getSubtype();

        if (netType == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI) {
            Log.i(TAG, "Wifi connection");
            WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) getApplication().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
            List<ScanResult> scanResult = wifiManager.getScanResults();
            for (int i = 0; i < scanResult.size(); i++) {
                Log.d("scanResult", "Speed of wifi"+scanResult.get(i).level);//The db level of signal 
            }


            // Need to get wifi strength
        } else if (netType == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE) {
            Log.i(TAG, "GPRS/3G connection");
            // Need to get differentiate between 3G/GPRS
        }
    }

To check Network type use this Class-

 public class Connectivity {
        /*
         * These constants aren't yet available in my API level (7), but I need to
         * handle these cases if they come up, on newer versions
         */
        public static final int NETWORK_TYPE_EHRPD = 14; // Level 11
        public static final int NETWORK_TYPE_EVDO_B = 12; // Level 9
        public static final int NETWORK_TYPE_HSPAP = 15; // Level 13
        public static final int NETWORK_TYPE_IDEN = 11; // Level 8
        public static final int NETWORK_TYPE_LTE = 13; // Level 11

    /**
     * Check if there is any connectivity
     * 
     * @param context
     * @return
     */
    public static boolean isConnected(Context context) {
        ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) context
                .getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        NetworkInfo info = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
        return (info != null && info.isConnected());
    }

    /**
     * Check if there is fast connectivity
     * 
     * @param context
     * @return
     */
    public static String isConnectedFast(Context context) {
        ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) context
                .getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        NetworkInfo info = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();

        if ((info != null && info.isConnected())) {
            return Connectivity.isConnectionFast(info.getType(),
                    info.getSubtype());
        } else
            return "No NetWork Access";

    }
