Java code to check Internet Connection on Android Device Programmatically

Android code snippet to check if Internet connectivity is available on Android devices and is active. Check connections like Wifi and Mobile Subscriber Internet connections like 2g, 3g, 4g, etc.

ConnectivityManager is the class you can make use of to achieve this, use getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE) that returns an ConnectivityManager object, now using this connection manager you can get information of all networks as an NetworkInfo[] array. Iterate through this array and check what type of network is currently active with the device - WIFI or MOBILE using netInfo.getTypeName().equalsIgnoreCase(TYPE).

private boolean checkNetwork() {
        boolean wifiAvailable = false;
        boolean mobileAvailable = false;
        ConnectivityManager conManager = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        NetworkInfo[] networkInfo = conManager.getAllNetworkInfo();
        for (NetworkInfo netInfo : networkInfo) {
            if (netInfo.getTypeName().equalsIgnoreCase("WIFI"))
                if (netInfo.isConnected())
                    wifiAvailable = true;
            if (netInfo.getTypeName().equalsIgnoreCase("MOBILE"))
                if (netInfo.isConnected())
                    mobileAvailable = true;
        }
        return wifiAvailable || mobileAvailable;
    }
