Activenetworkinfo.Type Is Deprecated in API Level 28

activeNetworkInfo.type is deprecated in API level 28

UPDATE

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
    }

OLD ANSWER

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()

• Returns connection status information about a particular Network.

getAllNetworks()

• Returns an array of all Network currently tracked by the framework.

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) {

getActiveNetworkInfo() is deprecated in API 29

I have finally found a code that works on all APIs in case anybody want it

NetworkCapabilities is not deprecated in API 29 but it requires API 21 so I have called it on API 29 only.

However getActiveNetworkInfo() is deprecated only in API 29 and works on all APIs , so we can use it in all apis bellow 29

here's the code

    public static boolean isNetworkAvailable(Context context) {
    if(context == null)  return false;

    ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

    if (connectivityManager != null) {

    if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) {
            NetworkCapabilities capabilities = connectivityManager.getNetworkCapabilities(connectivityManager.getActiveNetwork());
            if (capabilities != null) {
                if (capabilities.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_CELLULAR)) {
                    return true;
                } else if (capabilities.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI)) {
                    return true;
                }  else if (capabilities.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_ETHERNET)){
                    return true;
                }
            }
        }

    else {

        try {
            NetworkInfo activeNetworkInfo = connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo();
            if (activeNetworkInfo != null && activeNetworkInfo.isConnected()) {
                Log.i("update_statut", "Network is available : true");
                return true;
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.i("update_statut", "" + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}
    Log.i("update_statut","Network is available : FALSE ");
    return false;
}

NetworkInfo has been deprecated by API 29

It's deprecated base on Google Document

• getActiveNetworkInfo is deprecated on API 29.
• getAllNetworkInfo is deprecated on API 23.

So, If you want to find the Network Connection status, you can use this code.

kotlin :

 private fun isNetworkAvailable(context: Context): Boolean {
    val connectivityManager = context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE) as ConnectivityManager
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
        val nw      = connectivityManager.activeNetwork ?: return false
        val actNw = connectivityManager.getNetworkCapabilities(nw) ?: return false
        return when {
            actNw.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI) -> true
            actNw.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_CELLULAR) -> true
            //for other device how are able to connect with Ethernet
            actNw.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_ETHERNET) -> true
            //for check internet over Bluetooth
            actNw.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_BLUETOOTH) -> true
            else -> false
        }
    } else {
        return connectivityManager.activeNetworkInfo?.isConnected ?: false
    }
}

Java :

private Boolean isNetworkAvailable(Application application) {
    ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) application.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
        Network nw = connectivityManager.getActiveNetwork();
        if (nw == null) return false;
        NetworkCapabilities actNw = connectivityManager.getNetworkCapabilities(nw);
        return actNw != null && (actNw.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI) || actNw.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_CELLULAR) || actNw.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_ETHERNET) || actNw.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_BLUETOOTH));
    } else {
        NetworkInfo nwInfo = connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo();
        return nwInfo != null && nwInfo.isConnected();
    }
}

you can see all NetworkCapability here.

ConnectivityManager getNetworkInfo(int) deprecated

You can use:

getActiveNetworkInfo();

ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo activeNetwork = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
if (activeNetwork != null) { 
    // connected to the internet
    if (activeNetwork.getType() == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI) {
        // connected to wifi
    } else if (activeNetwork.getType() == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE) {
        // connected to mobile data
    }
} else {
    // not connected to the internet
}

Or in a switch case

ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo activeNetwork = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
if (activeNetwork != null) { 
    // connected to the internet
    switch (activeNetwork.getType()) {
        case ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI:
            // connected to wifi
            break;
        case ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE:
            // connected to mobile data
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }
} else {
    // not connected to the internet
}

What is alternative to ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI deprecated in Android P API 28?

ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI is Deprecated. You should use NetworkCapabilities.

This replaces the old ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE method of network selection. Rather than indicate a need for Wi-Fi because an application needs high bandwidth and risk obsolescence when a new, fast network appears (like LTE), the application should specify it needs high bandwidth. Similarly if an application needs an unmetered network for a bulk transfer it can specify that rather than assuming all cellular based connections are metered and all Wi-Fi based connections are not.

Applications should instead use NetworkCapabilities.hasTransport(int)
or requestNetwork(NetworkRequest, NetworkCallback) to request an
appropriate network. for supported transports.

You can try this way

NetworkAgentInfo networkAgent;
int type = ConnectivityManager.TYPE_NONE;
if (networkAgent.networkCapabilities.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_CELLULAR)) {
     type = ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE;
} else if (networkAgent.networkCapabilities.hasTransport(
     NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI)) {
     type = ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI;
}

Check for internet connectivity on API29

Have a look at .hasTransport

val networkAvailability = cm.getNetworkCapabilities(cm.activeNetwork)
if(networkAvailability !=null && networkAvailability.hasCapability(NetworkCapabilities.NET_CAPABILITY_INTERNET) && networkAvailability.hasCapability(NetworkCapabilities.NET_CAPABILITY_VALIDATED))
{
    //has network
    if (networkAvailability.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI)) { //wifi
    } else if (networkAvailability.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_CELLULAR)) { //cellular
    }
}
