How to check Wifi is connected, but no Internet access in Android

Question

I would like to know why wifi is connected but there is no internet access in Android. How can i check it? My code is:

ConnectivityManager cn=(ConnectivityManager)getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
 NetworkInfo nf=cn.getActiveNetworkInfo();

 if(nf != null && nf.isConnected() )
         {
            Flag2=false;
            Log.e("network--------", "1--------------");

            if (cn.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnectedOrConnecting())
            {Log.e("network--------", "11111111111111--------------");
             }
            else
            {Log.e("network--------", "2222222222222--------------");
            }
        }

 else 
         {
            Log.e("network--------", "2--------------");
 }

Solution 1

You could try something like this:

public void checkOnlineState() {
    ConnectivityManager CManager =
        (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    NetworkInfo NInfo = CManager.getActiveNetworkInfo();
    if (NInfo != null && NInfo.isConnectedOrConnecting()) {
        if (InetAddress.getByName("www.xy.com").isReachable(timeout))
        {  
         // host reachable  
        }
         else
         {    
         // host not reachable  
         }  
    }
    return;
}

dont forget the access

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

Hope it will work :)

Solution 2

Use this :

public static boolean isInternetOn(Context context) {
        ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) context
                .getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        // test for connection
        if (cm.getActiveNetworkInfo() != null
                && cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().isAvailable()
                && cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnected()) {
            Log.v(TAG, "Internet is working");
            // txt_status.setText("Internet is working");
            return true;
        } else {
            // txt_status.setText("Internet Connection Not Present");
            Log.v(TAG, "Internet Connection Not Present");
            return false;
        }
    }

Hope this helps.

In addition to what you are doing right now,you can use BroadcastReceiver for your application to get notified whenever the connectivity changes by registering <action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE"/> intent.

Have a look at docs: BroadcastReceiver and Connectivity Monitoring for detailed description.

I hope it will be helpful !

@Sam that's nit picking, it will work fine with the == true.

not works for me @CRUSADER

I think the only real way to see if the internet is working is to actually try access it, like this answer suggests.

[Smit Patel]

Thanks for the help but I want to apply this on every second and I don't wanna to lose more internet data of the user anyway thanks a lot.

I used this with Async method

[Gaurav Arora]

@Oil It is giving UnknownHostException - even when the WIFI is connected (with NO INTERNET ACCESS). How to solve the same ?

[venkat]

@Smit Patel can you explain how you did in Async method? please post snippet for that.

Received NetworkOnMainThreadException. So, it will not be helpful for checking internet connection synchronously.

There is no isReachable() for Kotlin, is there a Kotlin implementation of the same?
