Porblem in identifying Network Availability

[Hardik Trivedi]

Hi,

I want to know whether network is available or not.I googled and I found code snippet too.Below is the code I am using.

ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    	 return cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnectedOrConnecting();

I am testing this in emulator. I turn off network too.

Code is returning true. It should return false.

Apart from this I tried many other code too.

Please reply where I am going wrong.

That should work in the emulator, but how are you turning the network off? Did you press the F8 key in the emulator?

Also, did you request the ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permission in your AndroidManifest.xml file?

Lastly, you may want to use just isConnected() instead. The NetworkInfo may report true for isConnectedOrConnecting() when the network connections appear to be possible but even if you aren't able to use it yet. I also found a post that suggested using isAvailable() as well in your checks.
