Problem while checking internet connectivity on flutter

I was trying to check the internet connection on my flutter app with the help of connectivity plus package and a function which I saw in one of the answers of stackoverflaw. Below is the code:

connectivity_check.dart

import 'dart:async';
import 'dart:io';
import 'package:connectivity_plus/connectivity_plus.dart';

enum ConnectivityStatus { Online, Offline }

class ConnectivityService {
  // Create our public controller
  StreamController<ConnectivityStatus> connectionStatusController =
      StreamController<ConnectivityStatus>();
  final _connectivity = Connectivity();
  ConnectivityService() {
    // Subscribe to the connectivity Chanaged Steam

    _connectivity.onConnectivityChanged.listen((ConnectivityResult result) {
      _checkStatus(result);
    });

  void _checkStatus(ConnectivityResult result) async {
    bool isOnline = false;
    try {
      final result = await InternetAddress.lookup('example.com');
      isOnline = result.isNotEmpty && result[0].rawAddress.isNotEmpty;
      print(isOnline);
    } on SocketException catch (_) {
      isOnline = false;
    }
    if (isOnline == true)
      connectionStatusController.sink.add(ConnectivityStatus.Online);
    else
      connectionStatusController.sink.add(ConnectivityStatus.Offline);
  }

  void disposeStream() => connectionStatusController.close();
}

StreamProvider in main.dart

StreamProvider<ConnectivityStatus>(
            initialData: ConnectivityStatus.Online,
            create: (_) =>
                ConnectivityService().connectionStatusController.stream)

The Widget where I am using this connectivity provider

class OfferPage extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      backgroundColor: Colors.white,
      body: (Provider.of<ConnectivityStatus>(context) ==
              ConnectivityStatus.Online)
          ? ListView(
              children: [
                OfferImage(image: 'offer_banner.jpg'),
                OfferImage(image: 'offer1.jpg'),
                OfferImage(image: 'offer2.jpg'),
              ],
            )
          : Text('ok'),
    );
  }
}

The problem which I am facing is that the isOnline is always returning true even if I switch off my Wifi/data. Whenever stream provider listens to change in network, it returns true/Online, it doesn't return false/Offline. Can someone help and debug the code?

Avoid _checkStatus call which used InternetAddress.lookup, as we already have ConnectivityResult, its better to use that only.

Package(https://pub.dev/packages/connectivity/install):

connectivity: ^3.0.6

Connectivity.dart

import 'dart:async';

import 'package:connectivity/connectivity.dart';

class ConnectivityService {
  ConnectivityService() {
    Connectivity().onConnectivityChanged.listen((ConnectivityResult result) {
      connectionController.add(_getStatus(result));
    });
  }

  StreamController<ConnectivityStatus> connectionController =
      StreamController<ConnectivityStatus>();

  ConnectivityStatus _getStatus(ConnectivityResult result) {
    switch (result) {
      case ConnectivityResult.wifi:
        return ConnectivityStatus.Online;
      case ConnectivityResult.mobile:
        return ConnectivityStatus.Online;
      case ConnectivityResult.none:
        return ConnectivityStatus.Offline;
      default:
        return ConnectivityStatus.Online;
    }
  }
}

enum ConnectivityStatus { Online, Offline }

Register Provider:

StreamProvider<ConnectivityStatus>(
                        create: (context) => ConnectivityService().connectionController.stream),

Usage:

 var connectionStatus = Provider.of<ConnectivityStatus>(context);
    if (connectionStatus == ConnectivityStatus.Online) {
      /// Online logic
    } else {
     /// Offline logic
    }
