Detect if Android device has Internet connection

Question

I need to tell if my device has Internet connection or not. I found many answers like:

private boolean isNetworkAvailable() {
    ConnectivityManager connectivityManager 
         = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    NetworkInfo activeNetworkInfo = connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo();
    return activeNetworkInfo != null;
}

^{(Taken from Detect whether there is an Internet connection available on Android.)}

But this is not right, for example if I'm connected to a wireless network which doesn't have Internet access, this method will return true… Is there a way to tell if the device has Internet connection and not if it is only connected to something?

Answer 1

You are right. The code you've provided only checks if there is a network connection. The best way to check if there is an active Internet connection is to try and connect to a known server via http.

public static boolean hasActiveInternetConnection(Context context) {
    if (isNetworkAvailable(context)) {
        try {
            HttpURLConnection urlc = (HttpURLConnection) (new URL("http://www.google.com").openConnection());
            urlc.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Test");
            urlc.setRequestProperty("Connection", "close");
            urlc.setConnectTimeout(1500); 
            urlc.connect();
            return (urlc.getResponseCode() == 200);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            Log.e(LOG_TAG, "Error checking internet connection", e);
        }
    } else {
        Log.d(LOG_TAG, "No network available!");
    }
    return false;
}

Of course you can substitute the http://www.google.com URL for any other server you want to connect to, or a server you know has a good uptime.

As Tony Cho also pointed out in this comment below, make sure you don't run this code on the main thread, otherwise you'll get a NetworkOnMainThread exception (in Android 3.0 or later). Use an AsyncTask or Runnable instead.

If you want to use google.com you should look at Jeshurun's modification. In his answer he modified my code and made it a bit more efficient. If you connect to

HttpURLConnection urlc = (HttpURLConnection) 
            (new URL("http://clients3.google.com/generate_204")
            .openConnection());

and then check the responsecode for 204

return (urlc.getResponseCode() == 204 && urlc.getContentLength() == 0);

then you don't have to fetch the entire google home page first.

@varunbhardwaj you can just take a different website (e.g. baidu.com when deploying your app in China), or you can try a second site if the first one fails to make sure there is no connection. – Tersina

i +1 your answer and know using it in my app, but there is be a big corner case of dependency on some website and my question still remain unanswered. anyways great workaround thanx. – Forked

@Tersina How long should one wait for the server response? – Phionna

@blackcrow Depends on how long you/the users are willing to wait. Personally I consider 1000ms to be the lower limit, 6000ms about average and 15000ms long. But if the check is running in the background and the user is not waiting for it you can use much longer timeouts. – Tersina

@Tersina +1 for answer. Do you have any basis(report/analysis) for your personal consideration? – Phionna

@Tersina What do you think about the method requestRouteToHost? Can it be an alternative for checking a known server over Http. – Phionna

@blackcrow the problem with requestRouteToHost is that it doesn't always work (see #8322981) – Tersina

@CommonsWare Can you comment about requestRouteToHost here? – Phionna

@varunbhardwaj There should be some URI you can hit from your web services. The first thing we request when our app starts up is a bootstrap file that contains various configuration information, that allows us to change various parameters server-side. Something like that can be used. – Norge

Does it require any permission except INTERNET? I am getting exception. – Ratiocination

@AdilMalik Only Internet permisison is required. – Tersina

Using google.com for testing internet connectivity is making an assumption that Google's servers are invincible. Better approach will be using some URL of your own web service like Steve suggested above. – Unpracticed

This should also be down on a background thread (whereas checking the ConnectivityManager does not require this). Otherwise, on Android 4.x+ devices, you will get a NetworkOnMainThread exception. – Intravenous

Amazingly, but it still works even now, for android 4.4. It difficult to imagine something better than old school "ping". As I understood,the last android API still haven't some class/methods to resolve this issue? – Foust

@Foust If you want to use ping you can use something like this: Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ping -c 1 " + host);, but I don't know how reliable it is. AFAIK it doesn't work in the emulator. More info and example code here – Tersina

Yes, but I found a problem and couldn't to resolve it. If connected to network with no access to the internet the exception is throwed only 40 seconds left - setConnectTimeout(1500); is fully ignored. What's the problem can be? The same behavior for "ping" - 26 seconds for exception, and if I use .isReachable(timeout) - 13 seconds. But this is too much for waiting about result that device has no active internet connection. What's wrong? What I need to do to solve it? – Foust

@Foust This is a known issue if you are running it on the emulator (see also this answer). If you encounter this on a device, then I don't know. – Tersina

@THelper, thanks for your help, but unfortunately it is not a simulator, a real devices - HTC One, Nexus 5.... I don't know what to do – Foust

@Foust Try searching stackoverflow or the internet for posts with the same problem. If you don't find anything you can always ask it as a new question – Tersina

@THelper, I found the solution that works properly. I used socket to connect, you know, the connection's timeout property works great. If there is an active internet connection - response 250 ms, if network has no internet connection - 30..40 ms response. I'm happy ) – Foust

I am trying this method with a Panasonic toughpad JT-B1 and when I am connected to a Wifi without internet access the timeout is very long (about 1 minute) instead of the set 1,5 seconds. Why does this happen ? EDIT: I will try the above solution posted by Dimon, let's see if it works – Lillith

@Tersina In regards to the timeout issue that blackcrow mentioned, if I set a timeout of 15000, does that mean it will always take 15000 milliseconds to do the test, or that it will just give up at 15000 milliseconds? By keeping the timeout at 1500 milliseconds, is that essentially screening out users with very slow internet connections? – Formula

my app is crashed i debug the app crashing at "urlc.connect();" Error is android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException – Aut

Url class doesn't exist? – Bonaparte

You should update this answer with @Loquitur response, it improves this method. Anyway, thanks – Furlani

I recommend using a descriptive user-agent for your app, this way the server owner (or yours) will be able to determine which requests from your app, in case it's needed. – Nodose

Answer 2

I have modified THelper's answer slightly, to use a known hack that Android already uses to check if the connected WiFi network has Internet access. This is a lot more efficient over grabbing the entire Google home page. See here and here for more info.

public static boolean hasInternetAccess(Context context) {
    if (isNetworkAvailable(context)) {
        try {
            HttpURLConnection urlc = (HttpURLConnection) 
                (new URL("http://clients3.google.com/generate_204")
                .openConnection());
            urlc.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Android");
            urlc.setRequestProperty("Connection", "close");
            urlc.setConnectTimeout(1500); 
            urlc.connect();
            return (urlc.getResponseCode() == 204 &&
                        urlc.getContentLength() == 0);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            Log.e(TAG, "Error checking internet connection", e);
        }
    } else {
        Log.d(TAG, "No network available!");
    }
    return false;
}

Loquitur

Hello, is it OK to use this practice in current apps? – Semiyearly

Is this efficient in implementing in our current app? – Pickford

It would be way more efficient than the method in the answer above. Grabbing the Google home page is very inefficient, especially if they happen to have a doodle on it. – Loquitur

How do I call it from my activity? Thanks. – Freudberg

I recommend using a descriptive user-agent for your app, this way the server owner (or yours) will be able to determine which requests from your app, in case it's needed. – Nodose

You might want to use g.cn/generate_204 instead of clients3.google.com/generate_204 if you want to test connectivity in China as well – Stipule

from tutorial itworkslocal.ly/… – Holloman

You can simply create an unconnected Socket, use the method with the timeout parameter and you can basically connect to any TCP endpoint without knowing or the need to implement its protocol. Then once connected, set a a bolean flag to true, disconnect and return the flag. – Concretion

@Concretion How will that work when the device is connected to a network that has say a captive portal? I would assume you would still be able to open a socket, but without speaking the (preferably secure) protocol and verifying the returned status code, you would have no idea if you connected to the host you intended to connect to or some mitm. – Loquitur

@Loquitur The goal is to check if we are able to create an Internet connection not talk to a server. So, as soon as the connection is established, you disconnect without sending or receiving any data. What you are doing is a waste of time anyway because if a network has a captive portal, they don't want you to connect to the internet without either paying or accepting some terms of service. I feel like the best solution is to use your own server, that way you're also checking its availability. Making HTTP requests is unnecessary and your method wouldn't work if Google were blocked. – Concretion

@Concretion What's a waste of time creating an Internet connection without being able to talk to a server. If you have your own server, connecting to it directly is the best approach. However not everyone does, and what Google provides (for free) is the next best thing. The end user knows if someone 'wants' you to connect or not, but the app / background task doesn't and that's what the OP wanted to know. There is no panacea to the problem, but this is acceptable for the vast majority of use cases. The socket approach is no better than going by what ConnectivityManager reports. – Loquitur

We can't forget to add android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" in AndroidManifest.xml. Otherwise we will get java.io.IOException: Cleartext HTTP traffic to clients3.google.com not permitted – Holcomb

Answer 3

public boolean isInternetWorking() {
    boolean success = false;
    try {
        URL url = new URL("https://google.com");
        HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        connection.setConnectTimeout(10000);
        connection.connect();
        success = connection.getResponseCode() == 200;
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return success;
}

return true if internet is actually available, Must be called on background thread

Make sure you have these two permission

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

if http does not work its because of the new android security they donot allow plain text communication now. for now just to by pass it.

android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"

I would recommend to ping your own server. In this way you are more confident that you have internet and your web server is also working. (for cases like when you have internet but your server is down)

Leveloff

This is the best, most complete answer: it's the shortest way of doing things (a ping doesn't access the whole website), it runs independantly of which connection you have and it runs in it's won process so it plays nice with android versions. – Documentary

what do u mean ? here is another snippet which i am using in a current project checkInternet – Leveloff

what he meant is will this call block the UI and he needs to make this call in thread ?? – Glaring

This doesn't work for me... Caused by: android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException at android.os.StrictMode$AndroidBlockGuardPolicy.onNetwork(StrictMode.java:1273) at java.net.InetAddress.lookupHostByName(InetAddress.java:431) at – Hyksos

@HyosokaPoipo you should not invoke this on the main thread. Use a separate thread or AsyncTask. – Bethina

wonder if there is new thing added to the comment or just the points. @PrameshBajracharya – Leveloff

It does not work in some country, China, for example. :( And it also costs a very long time to detect, I want to get the result as soon as possible, let's say it, limited in 5 seconds. – Pita

@Pita you can remove google.com and change with google.com.tw – Leveloff

Answer 4

If you're targeting Android 6.0 - Marshmallow (API level 23) or higher it's possible to use the new NetworkCapabilities class, i.e:

public static boolean hasInternetConnection(final Context context) {
    final ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager)context.
            getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

    final Network network = connectivityManager.getActiveNetwork();
    final NetworkCapabilities capabilities = connectivityManager
            .getNetworkCapabilities(network);

    return capabilities != null
            && capabilities.hasCapability(NetworkCapabilities.NET_CAPABILITY_VALIDATED);
}

Broadspectrum

connectivityManager.getActiveNetwork(); requires API lvl23 which is Marshmallow and not Lollipop. – Anamorphic

Should we also check for capabilities.hasCapability(NetworkCapabilities.NET_CAPABILITY_INTERNET) ? – Burnette

Alex capabilities.hasCapability(NetworkCapabilities.NET_CAPABILITY_INTERNET) seemed to do the trick for me! – Nucleoside

Answer 5

You don't necessarily need to make a full HTTP connection. You could try just opening a TCP connection to a known host and if it succeeds you have internet connectivity.

public boolean hostAvailable(String host, int port) {
  try (Socket socket = new Socket()) {
    socket.connect(new InetSocketAddress(host, port), 2000);
    return true;
  } catch (IOException e) {
    // Either we have a timeout or unreachable host or failed DNS lookup
    System.out.println(e);
    return false;
  }
}

Then just check with:

boolean online = hostAvailable("www.google.com", 80);

Brusquerie

is port 80 a safe port to use ? – Darvon

As long as it's hosting a HTTP server, it should accept a TCP connection on Port 80. – Brusquerie

Should this be used inside an AsyncTask or just called in the onCreate method of the MainActivity for example? – Nonet

@Vay anything that is network related shouldn't run on the main/ui-thread. So yes, this should be used inside an AsyncTask – Brightwork

Answer 6

Based on the accepted answers, I have built this class with a listener so you can use it in the main thread:

First: InterntCheck class which checks for internet connection in the background then call a listener method with the result.

public class InternetCheck extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {


    private Activity activity;
    private InternetCheckListener listener;

    public InternetCheck(Activity x){

        activity= x;

    }

    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {


        boolean b = hasInternetAccess();
        listener.onComplete(b);

        return null;
    }


    public void isInternetConnectionAvailable(InternetCheckListener x){
        listener=x;
        execute();
    }

    private boolean isNetworkAvailable() {
        ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) activity.getSystemService(CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        NetworkInfo activeNetworkInfo = connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo();
        return activeNetworkInfo != null;
    }
    private boolean hasInternetAccess() {
        if (isNetworkAvailable()) {
            try {
                HttpURLConnection urlc = (HttpURLConnection) (new URL("http://clients3.google.com/generate_204").openConnection());
                urlc.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Android");
                urlc.setRequestProperty("Connection", "close");
                urlc.setConnectTimeout(1500);
                urlc.connect();
                return (urlc.getResponseCode() == 204 &&
                        urlc.getContentLength() == 0);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        } else {
            Log.d("TAG", "No network available!");
        }
        return false;
    }

    public interface InternetCheckListener{
        void onComplete(boolean connected);
    }

}

Second: instantiate an instance of the class in the main thread and wait for the response (if you have worked with Firebase api for android before this should be familiar to you!).

new InternetCheck(activity).isInternetConnectionAvailable(new InternetCheck.InternetCheckListener() {

        @Override
        public void onComplete(boolean connected) {
           //proceed!
        }
    });

Now inside onComplete method you will get whether the device is connected to the internet or not.

Answer 7

try this one

public class ConnectionDetector {
    private Context _context;

    public ConnectionDetector(Context context) {
        this._context = context;
    }

    public boolean isConnectingToInternet() {
        if (networkConnectivity()) {
            try {
                HttpURLConnection urlc = (HttpURLConnection) (new URL(
                        "http://www.google.com").openConnection());
                urlc.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Test");
                urlc.setRequestProperty("Connection", "close");
                urlc.setConnectTimeout(3000);
                urlc.setReadTimeout(4000);
                urlc.connect();
                // networkcode2 = urlc.getResponseCode();
                return (urlc.getResponseCode() == 200);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                return (false);
            }
        } else
            return false;

    }

    private boolean networkConnectivity() {
        ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) _context
                .getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        NetworkInfo networkInfo = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
        if (networkInfo != null && networkInfo.isConnected()) {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
}

you'll have to add the following permission to your manifest file:

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

Then call like that:

if((new ConnectionDetector(MyService.this)).isConnectingToInternet()){
    Log.d("internet status","Internet Access");
}else{
    Log.d("internet status","no Internet Access");
}

Answer 8

You can do this with very simple class.

class CheckInternet {
    fun isNetworkAvailable(context: Context): Boolean {
        val connectivityManager =
            context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE) as ConnectivityManager?
        val activeNetworkInfo = connectivityManager!!.activeNetworkInfo
        return activeNetworkInfo != null && activeNetworkInfo.isConnected
    }
}

Now you can check this from any class.

if (CheckInternet().isNetworkAvailable(this)) {
  //connected with internet
}else{
  //Not connected with internet
}

Exaggerative

activeNetworkInfo is now deprecated. – Cabasset

Answer 9

You can do this using the ConnectivityManager API for android. It allows you to check whether you are connected to the internet and the type of internet connection you are connected to. Basically, Metered or Un-metered.

To check for internet connection.

ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager)context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo activeNetwork = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
boolean isConnected = activeNetwork != null && activeNetwork.isConnectedOrConnecting();

}

Hope the above code helps you, also make sure you have internet permission in ur app.

Youngling

Answer 11

The latest way to do that from the documentation is to use the ConnectivityManager to query the active network and determine if it has Internet connectivity.

public boolean hasInternetConnectivity() {
    ConnectivityManager cm =
        (ConnectivityManager)context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

    NetworkInfo activeNetwork = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
    return (activeNetwork != null &&
                      activeNetwork.isConnectedOrConnecting());
}

Add these two permissions to your AndroidManifest.xml file:

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

Not works :( As @Buda Gavril says, if I'm connected to a wireless network which doesn't have Internet access, this method will still return true. Test on Xiaomi 4, Android 6.0.1. – Pita

Answer 12

Check wifi type in connectivity manager:

   //check network connection
    ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) this.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    NetworkInfo activeNetwork = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
    boolean hasNetworkConnection = activeNetwork != null && activeNetwork.isConnectedOrConnecting();
    System.out.println("Connection ? : " + hasNetworkConnection);
    //check wifi
    boolean hasWifiConnection = activeNetwork.getType() == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI;
    System.out.println("Wifi ? : " + hasWifiConnection);

Android Documentation describes 'TYPE_WIFI' as 'A WIFI data connection. Devices may support more than one.'

Answer 13

A nice solution to check if the active network have internet connection:

public boolean isNetworkAvailable(Context context) {
    ConnectivityManager connectivityManager
            = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    if (connectivityManager != null) {
        Network network = connectivityManager.getActiveNetwork();
        NetworkCapabilities networkCapabilities = connectivityManager.getNetworkCapabilities(network);
        return networkCapabilities != null && networkCapabilities
                .hasCapability(NetworkCapabilities.NET_CAPABILITY_INTERNET);
    }
    return false;
}

Answer 14

You can use ConnectivityManager.

val cm = getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE) as ConnectivityManager
            val activeNetwork: NetworkInfo? = cm.activeNetworkInfo
            val dialogBuilder = AlertDialog.Builder(this)

            if (activeNetwork!=null) // Some network is available
            {
                if (activeNetwork.isConnected) { // Network is connected to internet

    }else{ // Network is NOT connected to internet

    }

Answer 16

If all above answers get you FATAL EXCEPTIONs like android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException, this answer will really help you.
Because I got this error while trying to implement this.

The reason for this error is that the Network related codes cannot be on the main thread.
So, you need to create a new Thread as I shown below:

Thread thread = new Thread(new Runnable() {

@Override
public void run() {
    try  {
        //Your code goes here
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}});

And put your code in the place I commented.

Answer 17

Look at this function, it gives the actual internet connectivity status of the device.

 public boolean isActiveNetworkAvailable(Context context)
{
    try
    {
        ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        if (cm!=null){
            Network network = cm.getActiveNetwork();
            if (network != null) {
                NetworkCapabilities networkCapabilities = cm.getNetworkCapabilities(network);
                if (networkCapabilities != null && networkCapabilities.hasCapability(NetworkCapabilities.NET_CAPABILITY_INTERNET)
                        && networkCapabilities.hasCapability(NetworkCapabilities.NET_CAPABILITY_VALIDATED)
                ){
                    Log.d(TAG,"Use both NET_CAPABILITY_INTERNET and NET_CAPABALITY_VALIDATED to check whether the device has active internet connection.")
                    Log.d(TAG,"Internet available");
                    return (networkCapabilities.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_CELLULAR)
                            || networkCapabilities.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI)
                            || networkCapabilities.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_BLUETOOTH)
                            || networkCapabilities.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_ETHERNET)
                    );
                }else{
                    Log.d(TAG,"Internet not available");
                    return false;
                }
            }else {
                return false;
            }
        }else {
            return false;
        }
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
        Logcat.e(TAG, "isActiveNetworkAvailable", e);
        return false;
    }
}

Note: This function may not give the actual status instantly as the NET_CAPABILITY_VALIDATED flag gets updated by the System and it has the value of last checked status. Please see this screenshot below taken from here.
