Checking if there is internet connection

Question

I would like to ask something that I don't understand in my app. I get some data from my server and display them in a recyclerview using the google's Volley library. So far so good:).

Next I get those data from the list and add them to SQLite via a content provider. And finally if there is no internet connection,I should read them from the phone's repository(for now I should get a Toast message stating that there is no internet connection). Here is the thing. When I turn off the wifi the NoInternet Activity doesn't launch. However when I put my phone in Airplane mode the NoInternet Activity does launch. Here is my code.

public class AnnouncementsFragment extends Fragment {
public String titleForContentProvider;
public String imageForContentProvider;
public String articleForContentProvider;
public static final String TAG = "AelApp";
private ArrayList<MyModel> listItemsList;
private static final String IMAGE_URL = "http://www.theo-android.co.uk/ael/cms/announcement_images/";
RecyclerView myList;
private AnnouncementsAdapter adapter;

public AnnouncementsFragment() {
    // Required empty public constructor
}


@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // Inflate the layout for this fragment
    getActivity().setTitle("Ανακοινώσεις");

    View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_announcements, container, false);
    listItemsList = new ArrayList<>();

    myList = (RecyclerView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.listview_announcements);
    final LinearLayoutManager linearLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity());
    myList.setHasFixedSize(true);
    myList.setLayoutManager(linearLayoutManager);
    adapter = new AnnouncementsAdapter(getActivity(), listItemsList);
    myList.setAdapter(adapter);

    if (isOnline()) {
        updateAnnouncementsList();
    }else{
        Intent i = new Intent(getActivity(), NoInternet.class);
        startActivity(i);
    }

    return rootView;
}
public void updateAnnouncementsList() {
    listItemsList.clear();


    // Instantiate the RequestQueue.
    RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(getActivity());

    // Request a string response from the provided URL.
    JsonArrayRequest jsObjRequest = new JsonArrayRequest(Request.Method.GET, URL.GET_ANNOUNCEMENTS, new Response.Listener<JSONArray>() {

        @Override
        public void onResponse(JSONArray response) {

            Log.d(TAG, response.toString());
            //hidePD();

            // Parse json data.
            // Declare the json objects that we need and then for loop through the children array.
            // Do the json parse in a try catch block to catch the exceptions
            try {

                for (int i = 0; i < response.length(); i++) {

                    JSONObject post = response.getJSONObject(i);

                    MyModel item = new MyModel();
                    item.setTitle(post.getString("title"));
                    item.setImage(IMAGE_URL + post.getString("announcement_image"));
                    item.setArticle(post.getString("article"));

                    listItemsList.add(item);
                    //Getting the string values out of the JSON response.
                    titleForContentProvider = post.getString("title");
                    imageForContentProvider = post.getString("announcement_image");
                    articleForContentProvider = post.getString("article");
                    //I added them as a key value pair.
                    ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
                    values.put(AELProvider.title,titleForContentProvider);
                    values.put(AELProvider.image,imageForContentProvider);
                    values.put(AELProvider.article,articleForContentProvider);
                    //A Content Resolver that allows the app to
                    //to insert data to the database after
                    //using the Uri defined in the Content Provider
                    Uri uri = getActivity().getContentResolver().insert(AELProvider.CONTENT_URL, values);
                    Log.d("Announcements",uri.toString());
                    Toast.makeText(getContext(), "Announcement added", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
                            .show();

                }
            } catch (JSONException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

            // Update list by notifying the adapter of changes
            adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
        }
    }, new Response.ErrorListener() {
        @Override
        public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
            VolleyLog.d(TAG, "Error: " + error.getMessage());
            //hidePD();
        }
    });
    queue.add(jsObjRequest);

}

protected boolean isOnline() {
    ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager)getActivity().getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    NetworkInfo netInfo = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
    if (netInfo != null && netInfo.isConnectedOrConnecting()) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}
}

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Theo.

Answer 1

You can check below:

protected boolean isOnline() {

ConnectivityManager connMgr = (ConnectivityManager)
        getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo networkInfo = connMgr.getActiveNetworkInfo();
return (networkInfo != null && networkInfo.isConnected()); 

}

Answer 2

create a CheckInternet Java class and call its method

public class CheckInternet {

    public static boolean isNetwork(Context context) {
        ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) context
                .getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        NetworkInfo activeNetworkInfo = connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo();
        return activeNetworkInfo != null && activeNetworkInfo.isConnected();
    }

    public static boolean isConnectedNetwork(Context context) {
        ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(
                Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        return cm.getActiveNetworkInfo() != null && cm.getActiveNetworkInfo()
                .isConnectedOrConnecting();
    }

}

in your activity

 if (CheckInternet.isNetwork(Activity.this)) {
     //internet is connected do something
 } else { 
    //do something, net is not connected
 }

Answer 3

You can try this:

public class Common extends BroadcastReceiver
{
    public static boolean internet_status = false;
    public static void checkInternetConenction(Context context) {
        internet_status = false;
        ConnectivityManager check = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        if (check != null) {
            NetworkInfo[] info = check.getAllNetworkInfo();
            if (info != null)
                for (int i = 0; i < info.length; i++) {
                    if (info[i].getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED) {
                        internet_status = true;
                    }
                }
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
    {
        checkInternetConenction(context);
    }
}

And Add receiver in Android Menifest file:

<receiver android:name=".Common" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE" >
                </action>
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>

Set boolean value to false inside your activity:

static boolean internet_status = false;

& check connection using:

if(Common.internet_status)
                    {
                        //Do your stuff here
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        Toast.makeText(YourActivity.this, "Internet connection is not available", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    }

try this code

protected boolean isOnline() {  
 ConnectivityManager connectivityManager 
          = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    NetworkInfo activeNetworkInfo = connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo();
    return activeNetworkInfo != null && activeNetworkInfo.isConnected();
}
