Broadcast Receiver And Internet Connection

How do I use broadcast receiver to check if there isn't Internet connection? And after that: 1.If there is connection = do nothing 2.There isn't connection = open new activity I ho

Solution 1:

ConnectivityManager provides calls by which you can check for internet connectivity.

If you want to listen for a change in connectivity, create a listener that reacts to ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION

Solution 2:

Create a file to your project as ... and copy paste following code into this file

package your.package.name; //Change it as your package nameimport android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.ConnectivityManager;
import android.net.NetworkInfo;
import android.widget.Toast;

publicclassNetworkChangeReceiverextendsBroadcastReceiver {

    publicstaticintTYPE_WIFI=1;
    publicstaticintTYPE_MOBILE=2;
    publicstaticintTYPE_NOT_CONNECTED=0;

    @OverridepublicvoidonReceive(final Context context, final Intent intent) {

        Stringstatus= getConnectivityStatusString(context);

        Toast.makeText(context, status, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }

    publicstaticintgetConnectivityStatus(Context context) {
        ConnectivityManagercm= (ConnectivityManager) context
            .getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

        NetworkInfoactiveNetwork= cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
        if (null != activeNetwork) {
            if(activeNetwork.getType() == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI)
                return TYPE_WIFI;

            if(activeNetwork.getType() == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE)
                return TYPE_MOBILE;
        } 
        return TYPE_NOT_CONNECTED;
    }

    publicstatic String getConnectivityStatusString(Context context) {
        intconn= getConnectivityStatus(context);
        Stringstatus=null;
        if (conn == TYPE_WIFI) {
        status = "Wifi enabled";
        } elseif (conn == TYPE_MOBILE) {
            status = "Mobile data enabled";
        } elseif (conn == TYPE_NOT_CONNECTED) {
            status = "Not connected to Internet";
        }
        return status;
    }
}

And add following to Manifest file in application tag

<application...>
 ...
    <receiverandroid:name="your.package.name.NetworkChangeReceiver" //Changeitasyour-package-name.NetworkChangeReceiverandroid:label="NetworkChangeReceiver" ><intent-filter><actionandroid:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE" /><actionandroid:name="android.net.wifi.WIFI_STATE_CHANGED" /></intent-filter></receiver>
  ...
</application>

After running your application you will see Toast Message if network state change.
