Hi! Is it okay to check via ConnectivityManager do user have an internet connection?

Actually it depends on what you mean “internet connection”) ConnectivityManager will tell you that you have some network connection. But you may have no real Internet. The most right thing you can do here - make a short ping somewhere, e.g. google dns

Thanks, Kirill. I thinks this pings or checks are kinda “smells” a bit.

Yeah, may be. But it is the only approach i know if you need to check Internet at the moment.

You can be connected to network and have no internet (gated wifi) or server could be down

@Jeremy Exactly! I faced with this problem right now

I think if using ConnectivityManager you can say if no network the user def does not have internet but if its true they might have internet

Not really, u can have internet via WIFI and ConnectivityManager still tells you that u don’t have.

A couple month ago I used this version: https://gist.github.com/agent10/cd34308df7c1b42f83bbb3750e2a8ce9 It checks connection very fast

Thanks for the solution, I will try to change designer’s mind first and if i can’t will use it. But this code smells.

🤔 I generally try to ping the API server which just returns a simple response to ensure network is up, api server is up/working
