Intent Action for Network Events in Android Sdk

Intent action for network events in android sdk

Here's a working example:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

<receiver android:name=".receiver.ConnectivityReceiver">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE" />
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

.

public class ConnectivityReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        Log.d(ConnectivityReceiver.class.getSimpleName(), "action: "
                + intent.getAction());
    }

}

Check INTENT internet connection

<receiver android:name=".YOURRECEIVER">
   <intent-filter>
      <action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE" />
   </intent-filter>
</receiver>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

Broadcast receiver for checking internet connection in android app

Answer to your first question: Your broadcast receiver is being called two times because

You have added two <intent-filter>

1. Change in network connection :
   
   <action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE" />

2. Change in WiFi state:
   
   <action android:name="android.net.wifi.WIFI_STATE_CHANGED" />

Just use one:

<action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE" />.

It will respond to only one action instead of two. See here for more information.

Answer to your second question (you want receiver to call only one time if internet connection available):

Your code is perfect; you notify only when internet is available.

UPDATE

You can use this method to check your connectivity if you want just to check whether mobile is connected with the internet or not.

public boolean isOnline(Context context) {

    ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    NetworkInfo netInfo = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
    //should check null because in airplane mode it will be null
    return (netInfo != null && netInfo.isConnected());
}

Android: Internet connectivity change listener

Try this

public class NetworkUtil {
    public static final int TYPE_WIFI = 1;
    public static final int TYPE_MOBILE = 2;
    public static final int TYPE_NOT_CONNECTED = 0;
    public static final int NETWORK_STATUS_NOT_CONNECTED = 0;
    public static final int NETWORK_STATUS_WIFI = 1;
    public static final int NETWORK_STATUS_MOBILE = 2;

    public static int getConnectivityStatus(Context context) {
        ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

        NetworkInfo activeNetwork = 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;
    }

    public static int getConnectivityStatusString(Context context) {
        int conn = NetworkUtil.getConnectivityStatus(context);
        int status = 0;
        if (conn == NetworkUtil.TYPE_WIFI) {
            status = NETWORK_STATUS_WIFI;
        } else if (conn == NetworkUtil.TYPE_MOBILE) {
            status = NETWORK_STATUS_MOBILE;
        } else if (conn == NetworkUtil.TYPE_NOT_CONNECTED) {
            status = NETWORK_STATUS_NOT_CONNECTED;
        }
        return status;
    }
}

And for the BroadcastReceiver

public class NetworkChangeReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(final Context context, final Intent intent) {

        int status = NetworkUtil.getConnectivityStatusString(context);
        Log.e("Sulod sa network reciever", "Sulod sa network reciever");
        if ("android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE".equals(intent.getAction())) {
            if (status == NetworkUtil.NETWORK_STATUS_NOT_CONNECTED) {
                new ForceExitPause(context).execute();
            } else {
                new ResumeForceExitPause(context).execute();
            }
       }
    }
}

Don't forget to put this into your AndroidManifest.xml

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
 <receiver
        android:name="NetworkChangeReceiver"
        android:label="NetworkChangeReceiver" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE" />
            <action android:name="android.net.wifi.WIFI_STATE_CHANGED" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

Hope this will help you Cheers!

Not able to receive network related events

This works for me:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

<receiver android:name=".receiver.ConnectivityReceiver">
   <intent-filter>
      <action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE" />
   </intent-filter>
</receiver>

Code:

public class ConnectivityReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

  @Override
  public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
      Log.d(ConnectivityReceiver.class.getSimpleName(), "action: "
              + intent.getAction());
  }
}

and do not forget registering all network permission.

ACTION_DOCK_EVENT subtypes

You can find both of those by looking at the intent's extras. An explanation and example code is found here: http://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/docking-monitoring.html

Internet listener Android example

Create one Broadcast Receiver for that and register it in manifest file.

First create a new class NetworkStateReceiver and extend BroadcastReceiver.

public class NetworkStateReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
     Log.d("app","Network connectivity change");
     if(intent.getExtras()!=null) {
        NetworkInfo ni=(NetworkInfo) intent.getExtras().get(ConnectivityManager.EXTRA_NETWORK_INFO);
        if(ni!=null && ni.getState()==NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED) {
            Log.i("app","Network "+ni.getTypeName()+" connected");
        }
     }
     if(intent.getExtras().getBoolean(ConnectivityManager.EXTRA_NO_CONNECTIVITY,Boolean.FALSE)) {
            Log.d("app","There's no network connectivity");
     }
   }
}

Put this code in your AndroidManifest.xml under the "application" element:

<receiver android:name=".NetworkStateReceiver">
   <intent-filter>
      <action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE" />
   </intent-filter>
</receiver>

And add this permission

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>

EDIT

This code just detects connectivity change but cannot tell whether the network it is connected to has a internet access. Use this method to check that -

public static boolean hasActiveInternetConnection(Context context) {
    if (isNetworkAvailable(context)) {
        try {
            HttpURLConnection urlc = (HttpURLConnection) (new URL("http://www.google.com").openConnection());
            urlc.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Test");
            urlc.setRequestProperty("Connection", "close");
            urlc.setConnectTimeout(1500); 
            urlc.connect();
            return (urlc.getResponseCode() == 200);
        } catch (IOException e) {
        Log.e(LOG_TAG, "Error checking internet connection", e);
        }
    } else {
    Log.d(LOG_TAG, "No network available!");
    }
    return false;
}

ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION deprecated

What will be deprecated is the ability for a backgrounded application to receive network connection state changes.

As David Wasser said you can still get notified of connectivity changes if the app component is instantiated (not destroyed) and you have registered your receiver programmatically with its context, instead of doing it in the manifest.

Or you can use NetworkCallback instead. In particular, you will need to override onAvailable for connected state changes.

Let me draft a snippet quickly:

public class ConnectionStateMonitor extends NetworkCallback {

   final NetworkRequest networkRequest;

   public ConnectionStateMonitor() {
       networkRequest = new NetworkRequest.Builder()
           .addTransportType(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_CELLULAR)
           .addTransportType(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI)
           .build();
   }

   public void enable(Context context) {
       ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
       connectivityManager.registerNetworkCallback(networkRequest, this);
   }

   // Likewise, you can have a disable method that simply calls ConnectivityManager.unregisterNetworkCallback(NetworkCallback) too.

   @Override
   public void onAvailable(Network network) {
       // Do what you need to do here
   }
}
