How do I see if Wi-Fi is connected on Android?

Question

I don't want my user to even try downloading something unless they have Wi-Fi connected. However, I can only seem to be able to tell if Wi-Fi is enabled, but they could still have a 3G connection.

android.net.wifi.WifiManager m = (WifiManager) getSystemService(WIFI_SERVICE);
android.net.wifi.SupplicantState s = m.getConnectionInfo().getSupplicantState();
NetworkInfo.DetailedState state = WifiInfo.getDetailedStateOf(s);
if (state != NetworkInfo.DetailedState.CONNECTED) {
    return false;
}

However, the state is not what I would expect. Even though Wi-Fi is connected, I am getting OBTAINING_IPADDR as the state.

Answer 1

I had a look at a few questions like this and came up with this:

ConnectivityManager connManager = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo wifi = connManager.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI);
NetworkInfo mobile = connManager .getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE);

if (wifi.isConnected()){
    // If Wi-Fi connected
}

if (mobile.isConnected()) {
    // If Internet connected
}

I use if for my license check in Root Toolbox PRO, and it seems to work great.

Try out this method.

public boolean isInternetConnected() {
    ConnectivityManager conMgr = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    boolean ret = true;
    if (conMgr != null) {
        NetworkInfo i = conMgr.getActiveNetworkInfo();

        if (i != null) {
            if (!i.isConnected()) {
                ret = false;
            }

            if (!i.isAvailable()) {
                ret = false;
            }
        }

        if (i == null)
            ret = false;
    } else
        ret = false;
    return ret;
}

This method will help to find internet connection available or not.

Answer 3

While Jason's answer is correct, nowadays getNetWorkInfo (int) is a deprecated method. So, the next function would be a nice alternative:

public static boolean isWifiAvailable (Context context)
{
    boolean br = false;
    ConnectivityManager cm = null;
    NetworkInfo ni = null;

    cm = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    ni = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
    br = ((null != ni) && (ni.isConnected()) && (ni.getType() == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI));

    return br;
}
