I want to use the Connectivity manager which provide the method activeNetworkInfo.type for checking the type of network in Android. This method was deprecated in API level 28. so what is the solution to check network type in API 28. my code is :
/**
* Check Wi Fi connectivity
*/
fun isWiFiConnected(context: Context): Boolean {
val connManager = context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE) as ConnectivityManager
return connManager.activeNetworkInfo.type == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI
}
My Gradle is like :
compileSdkVersion 28
buildToolsVersion '28.0.3'
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 21
targetSdkVersion 28
}
The connectivityManager.activeNetworkInfo
is also deprecated in API level 29
Now we need to use ConnectivityManager.NetworkCallback API
or ConnectivityManager#getNetworkCapabilities or ConnectivityManager#getLinkProperties
SAMPLE CODE USING
ConnectivityManager#getNetworkCapabilities
private fun isInternetAvailable(context: Context): Boolean {
var result = false
val connectivityManager =
context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE) as ConnectivityManager
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
val networkCapabilities = connectivityManager.activeNetwork ?: return false
val actNw =
connectivityManager.getNetworkCapabilities(networkCapabilities) ?: return false
result = when {
actNw.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI) -> true
actNw.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_CELLULAR) -> true
actNw.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_ETHERNET) -> true
else -> false
}
} else {
connectivityManager.run {
connectivityManager.activeNetworkInfo?.run {
result = when (type) {
ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI -> true
ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE -> true
ConnectivityManager.TYPE_ETHERNET -> true
else -> false
}
}
}
}
return result
}
Yes getType()
is deprecated in API level 28
Now we need to use Callers should switch to checking NetworkCapabilities.hasTransport(int)
Also getAllNetworkInfo()
is deprecated in API level 29
Now we need to use getAllNetworks()
instead of getNetworkInfo(android.net.Network)
.
getNetworkInfo()
getAllNetworks()
SAMPLE CODE
fun isWiFiConnected(context: Context): Boolean {
val connectivityManager = context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE) as ConnectivityManager
return if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
val network = connectivityManager.activeNetwork
val capabilities = connectivityManager.getNetworkCapabilities(network)
capabilities != null && capabilities.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI)
} else {
connectivityManager.activeNetworkInfo.type == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI
}
}
COMPLETE CODE
@Suppress("DEPRECATION")
fun isInternetAvailable(context: Context): Boolean {
var result = false
val cm = context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE) as ConnectivityManager?
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
cm?.run {
cm.getNetworkCapabilities(cm.activeNetwork)?.run {
result = when {
hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI) -> true
hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_CELLULAR) -> true
hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_ETHERNET) -> true
else -> false
}
}
}
} else {
cm?.run {
cm.activeNetworkInfo?.run {
if (type == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI) {
result = true
} else if (type == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE) {
result = true
}
}
}
}
return result
}
