Didn't tryed this too but I found this:
public static boolean isInternetAvailable() {
Boolean isConnection = false;
int connectTimeout = 5000; // in ms
int readTimeout = 5000; // in ms
String ip204 = "http://clients3.google.com/generate_204";
try {
URL url = new URL(ip204);
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setConnectTimeout(connectTimeout);
conn.setReadTimeout(readTimeout);
conn.setRequestMethod("HEAD");
InputStream in = conn.getInputStream();
int status = conn.getResponseCode();
in.close();
conn.disconnect();
if (status == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_NO_CONTENT) {
isConnection = true;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
isConnection = false;
}
}
but this method must be inside a thread different to the Main Thread so it is async :/
I didn't tryed this but I found this code online that use a NetworkCallback:
private void listenNetworkViaConnectivityManager(final Context context) {
ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) context
.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkRequest request = new NetworkRequest.Builder()
.addCapability(NetworkCapabilities.NET_CAPABILITY_INTERNET)
.build();
cm.registerNetworkCallback(request, new ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback() {
@Override
public void onAvailable(Network network) {
// do what you want
}
});
}
but probably is the same as ConnectivityManager... and also it uses a callback so is asynchronous and cannot return sync value true/false I think :/ Maybe, if this works as you want, you can check for connection every tot time using a service o something like a service and then set a flag variable, a static global variable to true if there is internet connection and to false if there isn't. To check if there is or there's not you will just check this flag.
I didn't tryed it and I think it's a really bad method but I don't have found any other solution so... maybe you can use an SNTP Client instead of the ping fuction (setting the timeout to a really little value obviously).
public static Date getCurrentDateFromSNTP() {
try {
SntpClient client = new SntpClient();
if (client.requestTime(SntpClient.NTP_SERVER, SntpClient.NTP_TIMEOUT)) {
long now = client.getNtpTime() + SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() - client.getNtpTimeReference();
return new Date(now);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
EMaxLogger.onException(TAG, e);
}
return new Date();
}
