  • Source: How to check internet access on Android? InetAddress never times out

    public boolean isOnline() {
    ConnectivityManager cm =
        (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

    return cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnectedOrConnecting();
}

    You'll need these in your manifest

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

    I personally had to run a specific check to see if the user could access my server (Possibility of firewall blocking, or the user having only a local connection)

    Good Luck!!
