Can someone point me in the right direction when it comes to replacing this deprecated code for checking the internet connection on a device?
private val isNetworkAvailable = MutableStateFlow(false)
fun checkNetworkAvailability(context: Context): MutableStateFlow<Boolean> {
val connectivityManager =
context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE) as ConnectivityManager
connectivityManager.registerDefaultNetworkCallback(this)
var isConnected = false
// allNetworks Deprecated
connectivityManager.allNetworks.forEach { network ->
val networkCapability = connectivityManager.getNetworkCapabilities(network)
networkCapability?.let {
if(it.hasCapability(NetworkCapabilities.NET_CAPABILITY_INTERNET)) {
isConnected = true
return@forEach
}
}
}
isNetworkAvailable.value = isConnected
return isNetworkAvailable
}
You can fetch the active network and check it's currently connected or not using NetworkCapabilities
private fun isNetworkAvailable(): Boolean {
val connectivityManager =
getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE) as ConnectivityManager
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
val network = connectivityManager.activeNetwork // network is currently in a high power state for performing data transmission.
Log.d("Network", "active network $network")
network ?: return false // return false if network is null
val actNetwork = connectivityManager.getNetworkCapabilities(network) ?: return false // return false if Network Capabilities is null
return when {
actNetwork.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI) -> { // check if wifi is connected
Log.d("Network", "wifi connected")
true
}
actNetwork.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_CELLULAR) -> { // check if mobile dats is connected
Log.d("Network", "cellular network connected")
true
}
else -> {
Log.d("Network", "internet not connected")
false
}
}
}
return false
}
Note: connectivityManager.activeNetwork requires permission android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE
