How to check internet access on Android? InetAddress never times out

Viewed 505738

I got a AsyncTask that is supposed to check the network access to a host name. But the doInBackground() is never timed out. Anyone have a clue?

public class HostAvailabilityTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Boolean> {

    private Main main;

    public HostAvailabilityTask(Main main) {
        this.main = main;
    }

    protected Boolean doInBackground(String... params) {
        Main.Log("doInBackground() isHostAvailable():"+params[0]);

        try {
            return InetAddress.getByName(params[0]).isReachable(30); 
        } catch (UnknownHostException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return false;       
    }

    protected void onPostExecute(Boolean... result) {
        Main.Log("onPostExecute()");

        if(result[0] == false) {
            main.setContentView(R.layout.splash);
            return;
        }

        main.continueAfterHostCheck();
    }   
}

No need to be complex. The simplest and framework manner is to use ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permission and just make a connected method

public boolean isOnline() {
    ConnectivityManager cm =
        (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

    return cm.getActiveNetworkInfo() != null && 
       cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnectedOrConnecting();
}

You can also use requestRouteToHost if you have a particualr host and connection type (wifi/mobile) in mind.

You will also need:

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

in your android manifest.

Found at and modified (!) from this link :

In your manifest file add at least:

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

You probably already have the INTERNET permission if you are accessing it. Then a boolean function that allows to test for connectivity is:

private boolean checkInternetConnection() {
    ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    // test for connection
    if (cm.getActiveNetworkInfo() != null
            && cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().isAvailable()
            && cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnected()) {
        return true;
    } else {
        Log.v(TAG, "Internet Connection Not Present");
        return false;
    }
}

Kotlin and coroutines

I have placed the function in a ViewModel, which has the viewModelScope. Using an observable LiveData I inform an activity about the connection.

ViewModel

 fun checkInternetConnection(timeoutMs: Int) {
        viewModelScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO) {
            try {
                val socket = Socket()
                val socketAddress = InetSocketAddress("8.8.8.8", 53)

                socket.connect(socketAddress, timeoutMs)
                socket.close()

                _connection.postValue(true)
            }
            catch(ex: IOException) {
                _connection.postValue(false)
            }
        }
    }
 private val _connection = MutableLiveData<Boolean>()
 val connection: LiveData<Boolean> = _connection

Activity

 private fun checkInternetConnection() {
     viewModel.connection.observe(this) { hasInternet ->
         if(!hasInternet) {
             //hasn't connection
         }
         else {
            //has connection
         }
     }
  }

Use this Kotlin Extension:

/**
 * Check whether network is available
 *
 * @param context
 * @return Whether device is connected to Network.
 */
fun Context.isNetworkAvailable(): Boolean {
    with(getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE) as ConnectivityManager) {
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
            //Device is running on Marshmallow or later Android OS.
            with(getNetworkCapabilities(activeNetwork)) {
                return hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI) || hasTransport(
                    NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_CELLULAR
                )
            }
        } else {
            activeNetworkInfo?.let {
                // connected to the internet
                @Suppress("DEPRECATION")
                return listOf(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI, ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE).contains(it.type)
            }
        }
    }
    return false
}

The most Simplest solution would be

In most cases one will only check internet connection if he/she wants to connect to the remote server so the simple and best solution would be pinging your server as following.

public boolean isConnected() {
    final String command = "ping -c 1 yourExmapleDomain.com";
    boolean isConnected = false;
    try {
        isConnected = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command).waitFor() == 0;
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return isConnected;
}

I have tried with almost 5+ different android approaches and found this is the best solution provided by google especially for android:

  try {
  HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection)
  (new URL("http://clients3.google.com/generate_204")
  .openConnection());
  urlConnection.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Android");
  urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Connection", "close");
  urlConnection.setConnectTimeout(1500);
  urlConnection.connect();
  if (urlConnection.getResponseCode() == 204 &&
  urlConnection.getContentLength() == 0) {
  Log.d("Network Checker", "Successfully connected to internet");
  return true;
  }
  } catch (IOException e) {
  Log.e("Network Checker", "Error checking internet connection", e);
  }

It's faster , efficient and accurate than any other available solution.

If you need to check for the internet connection, use this method using ping to the server:

public boolean checkIntCON() {
    try {
        Process ipProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/system/bin/ping -c 1 8.8.8.8");
        return (ipProcess.waitFor() == 0);
    }
    catch (IOException e)          { e.printStackTrace(); }
    catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
    return false;
}

Either you can use check through using port

public boolean checkIntCON() {
    try {
        Socket sock = new Socket();
        SocketAddress sockaddr = new InetSocketAddress("8.8.8.8", 80); 
        // port will change according to protocols

        sock.connect(sockaddr, 1250);
        sock.close();

        return true;
    } catch (IOException e) { return false; }
}
 public static boolean isNetworkAvailable(Context context) {
    boolean flag = checkNetworkAvailable(context);

    if (!flag) {
        Log.d("", "No network available!");
    } 
    return flag;
}


private static boolean checkNetworkAvailable(Context context) {
    ConnectivityManager connectivityManager
            = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    NetworkInfo activeNetworkInfo = connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo();
    return activeNetworkInfo != null;
}

As Android doc suggest, after

getActiveNetworkInfo() was deprecated in Android 10. Use NetworkCallbacks instead for apps that target Android 10 (API level 29) and higher.

So below is the way which we are using to check network connection Currently:

val cm = context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE) as ConnectivityManager
val activeNetwork: NetworkInfo? = cm.activeNetworkInfo
val isConnected: Boolean = activeNetwork?.isConnectedOrConnecting == true

The new way for checking internet connection using NetworkCallbacks

Step 1:

    private lateinit var connectivityManager:ConnectivityManager

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        ...
        connectivityManager = getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE) as ConnectivityManager
    }

Step 2: Create Callback:

private val callback = object : ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback() {
    override fun onAvailable(network: Network) {
        super.onAvailable(network)
        Timber.e("Network:onAvailable")
    }

    override fun onLost(network: Network) {
        super.onLost(network)
        Timber.e("Network:onLost")
    }

}

Step 3: Register and UnRegister CallBack:

private fun registerNetworkCallback() {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
        connectivityManager.registerDefaultNetworkCallback(callback)
    } else {
        // Old way to check network connection
    }
}

override fun onStop() {
    unRegisterNetworkCallback()
    super.onStop()
}

private fun unRegisterNetworkCallback() {
    connectivityManager.unregisterNetworkCallback(callback)
}

Checkout update details on below link:

https://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/connectivity-status-type

Use method:

private fun isInternetAvailable(context: Context): Boolean {
    (context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE) as ConnectivityManager).run {
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
            return this.getNetworkCapabilities(this.activeNetwork)?.hasCapability(
                NetworkCapabilities.NET_CAPABILITY_INTERNET
            ) ?: false
        } else {
            (@Suppress("DEPRECATION")
            return this.activeNetworkInfo?.isConnected ?: false)
        }
    }
}

And permissions required:

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

Usage example


val latency = pingServerAverageRtt(ipString)
if (latency != Double.MAX_VALUE) { 
    //server reachable
} else {
    //server not reachable
}

If you're using Firebase you could use this.

Java:

DatabaseReference connectedRef = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference(".info/connected");
connectedRef.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
    @Override
    public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot snapshot) {
        boolean connected = snapshot.getValue(Boolean.class);
        if (connected) {
            Log.d(TAG, "connected");
        } else {
            Log.d(TAG, "not connected");
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onCancelled(@NonNull DatabaseError error) {
        Log.w(TAG, "Listener was cancelled");
    }
});

Kotlin:

val connectedRef = Firebase.database.getReference(".info/connected")
connectedRef.addValueEventListener(object : ValueEventListener {
    override fun onDataChange(snapshot: DataSnapshot) {
        val connected = snapshot.getValue(Boolean::class.java) ?: false
        if (connected) {
            Log.d(TAG, "connected")
        } else {
            Log.d(TAG, "not connected")
        }
    }

    override fun onCancelled(error: DatabaseError) {
        Log.w(TAG, "Listener was cancelled")
    }
})

Here is the optimal method for checking internet connection. What this method does is perform a series of checks "is the phone not in airplane mode, is the phone connected to a network, etc". If all the checks return true, the method will then download a file from the internet and see if the contents matches an expected value.

The benefits of this method compared to other methods that ping a server to check for internet connection are:

  1. The Android runtime varies on different phones - so you may not always be able to execute those commands, as shown here: Why does ping works on some devices and not others?

  2. Pinging a server doesn't always work because of login pages/re-directs on wifi networks which can give the false impression of a connection.

This answer is written in Kotlin and uses the Fuel library to download a file from the internet with the methodfetchUrlAsString, but any library can be substituted as long as you make sure your HTTP request is not cached. Think of showConnectionWarning() and hideConnectionWarning() as equivalent to internet connection status = false and internet connection status = true respectively.

private val networkReceiver = object : BroadcastReceiver() {

    override fun onReceive(context: Context?, intent: Intent?) {

        val activeNetworkInfo = (context?.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE) as ConnectivityManager).activeNetworkInfo

        if (activeNetworkInfo != null) {
            if (activeNetworkInfo.isConnectedOrConnecting) {
                //Launches a coroutine to fetch file asynchronously 
                launch {
                    try {
                        //Downloads file from url on the internet - use any library you want here.  
                        val connectionStatus = fetchUrlAsString(<url_for_file_on_internet>)
                        //check if the contents of the file is as expected
                        if (connectionStatus == "Connected To Database") {
                            hideConnectionWarning()
                        } else {
                            showConnectionWarning()
                        }
                    } catch (e: Exception) {
                        //Catches an exception - fetchUrlAsString only throws an exception if there is no internet 
                        showConnectionWarning()
                    }
                }
            } else {
                showConnectionWarning()
            }
        } else {
            showConnectionWarning()
        }
    }
}

private suspend fun fetchUrlAsString(url: String): String = suspendCoroutine { cont ->
    url.httpGet().header(Pair("pragma", "no-cache"), Pair("cache-control", "no-cache")).responseString { _, _, result ->

        when (result) {
            is Result.Failure -> {
                cont.resumeWithException(result.getException())
            }
            is Result.Success -> {
                cont.resume(result.value)
            }
        }

    }
}

You will need the following permissions:

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

Here is the Kotlin version I use for reachability checking,

Kotlin MyReachability

object MyReachability {

    private val REACHABILITY_SERVER = "http://google.com" // can be any URL you want

    private fun hasNetworkAvailable(context: Context): Boolean {
        val service = Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE
        val manager = context.getSystemService(service) as ConnectivityManager?
        val network = manager?.activeNetworkInfo
        Log.d(classTag, "hasNetworkAvailable: ${(network != null)}")
        return (network != null)
    }

    fun hasInternetConnected(context: Context): Boolean {
        if (hasNetworkAvailable(context)) {
            try {
                val connection = URL(REACHABILITY_SERVER).openConnection() as HttpURLConnection
                connection.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Test")
                connection.setRequestProperty("Connection", "close")
                connection.connectTimeout = 1500
                connection.connect()
                Log.d(classTag, "hasInternetConnected: ${(connection.responseCode == 200)}")
                return (connection.responseCode == 200)
            } catch (e: IOException) {
                Log.e(classTag, "Error checking internet connection", e)
            }
        } else {
            Log.w(classTag, "No network available!")
        }
        Log.d(classTag, "hasInternetConnected: false")
        return false
    }
}

You can even pass the REACHABILITY_SERVER as param based on policy and restrictions, for example when you are in china you can check https://baidu.com rather https://google.com.

Calling example,

val webLoaderThread = Thread {
   if (MyReachability.hasInternetConnected(this)){
       runOnUiThread {
           //mWebView.loadUrl(LANDING_SERVER) // connected
       }
   } else {
       runOnUiThread {
           //showDialogNoNetwork() // not connected
       }
   }
}
webLoaderThread.start()

Android permissions

Dont forget to add these below permissions to your AndroidManifest.xml

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

Using the following method to check internet connectivity, also ConnectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo() is deprecated in API 28

@Suppress("DEPRECATION")
fun isNetworkConnected(context: Context): Boolean {
    val cm = context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE) as ConnectivityManager?
    return cm?.run {
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
            cm.getNetworkCapabilities(cm.activeNetwork)?.run {
                when {
                    hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI) -> true
                    hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_CELLULAR) -> true
                    hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_ETHERNET) -> true
                    else -> false
                }
            }
        } else {
            cm.activeNetworkInfo?.run {
                when (type) {
                    ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI -> true
                    ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE -> true
                    else -> false
                }
            }
        }
    } ?: false

}

Also add the following permission to the manifest

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

hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_ETHERNET) is used for apps developed for Android TV where TV can be directly connected to Ethernet

This my workaround to solve this problem and check the valid internet connection because as they said that Network info class cannot give you the expected result and it may return true when network connected but no internet.

So this my COMPLETE WORKAROUND based on @Levite Answer:

First you must have AsynckTask for checking Network availability and this is mine:

public class Connectivity {
 private static final String TAG = "Connectivity";
private static boolean hasConnected = false, hasChecked = false;
private InternetListener internetListener;
private Activity activity;

public Connectivity(InternetListener internetListener, Activity activity) {
    this.internetListener = internetListener;
    this.activity = activity;
}

public void startInternetListener() {


    CheckURL checkURL = new CheckURL(activity);

    checkURL.execute();

    long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

    while (true) {
        if (hasChecked && hasConnected) {
            activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    internetListener.onConnected();
                }
            });

            checkURL.cancel(true);
            return;
        }

        // check if time
        if (System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime >= 1000) {
            activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    internetListener.onDisconnected();
                }
            });


            checkURL.cancel(true);
            return;
        }
    }

    //return hasConnected;
}


class CheckURL extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Boolean> {

    private Activity activity;

    public CheckURL(Activity activity) {
        this.activity = activity;
    }

    @Override
    protected Boolean doInBackground(Void... params) {
        if (!isNetWorkAvailable(activity)) {
            Log.i(TAG, "Internet not available!");
            return false;
        }

        int timeoutMs = 3000;

        try {
            Socket sock = new Socket();
            SocketAddress sockaddr = new InetSocketAddress("8.8.8.8", 53);
            sock.connect(sockaddr, timeoutMs);
            sock.close();
            Log.i(TAG, "Internet available :)");
            return true;

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return false;
        }

    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Boolean result) {
        hasChecked = true;
        hasConnected = result;
        super.onPostExecute(result);}}
     

private static final String TAG = "Connectivity";


private static boolean isNetWorkAvailable(Activity activity) {

    ConnectivityManager connectivityManager =
            (ConnectivityManager) 
   activity.getSystemService(Activity.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    NetworkInfo networkInfo =
            null;
    if (connectivityManager != null) {
        networkInfo = 
   connectivityManager.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI);
    }
    boolean isConnected;
    boolean isWifiAvailable = false;
    if (networkInfo != null) {
        isWifiAvailable = networkInfo.isAvailable();
    }
    boolean isWifiConnected = false;
    if (networkInfo != null) {
        isWifiConnected = networkInfo.isConnected();
    }
    if (connectivityManager != null) {
        networkInfo =
                connectivityManager.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE);
    }
    boolean isMobileAvailable = false;
    if (networkInfo != null) {
        isMobileAvailable = networkInfo.isAvailable();
    }
    boolean isMobileConnected = false;
    if (networkInfo != null) {
        isMobileConnected = networkInfo.isConnected();
    }
    isConnected = (isMobileAvailable && isMobileConnected) ||
            (isWifiAvailable && isWifiConnected);
    return (isConnected);}
    }}



private static boolean isNetWorkAvailable(Context context) {

    ConnectivityManager connectivityManager =
            (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    NetworkInfo networkInfo =
            null;
    if (connectivityManager != null) {
        networkInfo = connectivityManager.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI);
    }
    boolean isConnected;
    boolean isWifiAvailable = false;
    if (networkInfo != null) {
        isWifiAvailable = networkInfo.isAvailable();
    }
    boolean isWifiConnected = false;
    if (networkInfo != null) {
        isWifiConnected = networkInfo.isConnected();
    }
    if (connectivityManager != null) {
        networkInfo =
                connectivityManager.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE);
    }
    boolean isMobileAvailable = false;
    if (networkInfo != null) {
        isMobileAvailable = networkInfo.isAvailable();
    }
    boolean isMobileConnected = false;
    if (networkInfo != null) {
        isMobileConnected = networkInfo.isConnected();
    }
    isConnected = (isMobileAvailable && isMobileConnected) ||
            (isWifiAvailable && isWifiConnected);
    return (isConnected);

}

}

After that you should create another thread to start AscnkTask And listen for result with the InternetListener.

public interface InternetListener {
void onConnected();
void onDisconnected();
}

And the Thread that is waiting for AsynckTask result you can put it in Utility class:

 private static Thread thread;

public static void startNetworkListener(Context context, InternetListener 
    internetListener) {

    if (thread == null){
        thread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                Looper.prepare();
                new Connectivity(internetListener,context).startInternetListener();
            }
        });
    }

    thread.start();
 }

Finally call the startNetworkListener() method and listen for result.

example in activity from My Utils.java class :

     Utils.startNetworkListener(this, new InternetListener() {
        @Override
        public void onConnected() {
           // do your work when internet available. 
        }

        @Override
        public void onDisconnected() {
          // do your work when no internet available. 
        }
    });

Happy Coding :).

If you want to show an alert when connection lost. You can use below method.

This method use to check connection one time. First you have to create this one in your class.

private boolean isNetworkConnected() {
        ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        if(!(cm.getActiveNetworkInfo() != null && cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnected())){
            showNetworkDialog();
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }

Create this method in your class as connection listener.

private void ConnectionCheck(){
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
            ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
            NetworkRequest networkRequest = new NetworkRequest.Builder().build();
            connectivityManager.registerNetworkCallback(networkRequest, new ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback() {
                @Override
                public void onAvailable(Network network) {
                    super.onAvailable(network);
                    Log.i("Tag", "active connection");
                }

                @Override
                public void onLost(Network network) {
                    super.onLost(network);
                    Log.i("Tag", "losing active connection");
                    isNetworkConnected();
                }
            });
        }
    }

For showing dialog, you may create showDialog() method.

private void showNetworkDialog(){
    new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this)
            .setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert)
            .setTitle("Connection lost?")
            .setMessage("Please check your internet connection!")
            .setCancelable(false)
            .setPositiveButton("Exit", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                    finish();
                }
            })
            .setNegativeButton("Retry", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                    isNetworkConnected();
                }
            })
            .show();
}

Finally you can call this method in onCreate() method.

if(isNetworkConnected()){
            ConnectionCheck();
        }

in Manifest file you have to mention permission.

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

Code :

    fun isInternetConnection(): Boolean {
    var returnVal = false
    thread {
        returnVal = try {
            khttp.get("https://www.google.com/")
            true
        }catch (e:Exception){
            false
        }
    }.join()
    return returnVal
}

Gradle:

implementation 'io.karn:khttp-android:0.1.0'

I use khttp because it's so easy to use.

So here in the above code if it successfully connects to google.com, it returns true else false. It's so simple. I don't understand why everyone has to code like lengthy lines of code even for a simple thing like this.

In kotlin:

class UtilityMethods {
companion object {
    fun isConnected(activity: Activity): Boolean {
        val connectivityManager: ConnectivityManager =
                activity.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE) as ConnectivityManager
        return null != connectivityManager.activeNetworkInfo
    }
}}

Invoke isConnected inside Activity class as:

UtilityMethods.isConnected(this)

Inside fragment class as:

UtilityMethods.isConnected(activity)
