You didn't say how exactly this fails in your app, but... - I've seen failures with my app not being able to connect to (external) servers at all, reported by a few users, even when their devices had apparently working Internet access. The "magic reinstall" fixed it for them.
- I've also seen some connectivity types (e.g. accessing a desktop computer's Internet connection via Bluetooth or USB) not being properly reported by ConnectivityManager. Had to add code to iterate over ConnectityManager#getAllNetworkInfo and check if there are any networks reporting isConnected() || isAvailable(). -- K 2013/7/16 Nathan <[email protected]>: > The following is what I have seen as a fairly standard method for checking > for an internet connection. > > @Override > public void checkforConnection(Context ctx) { > // TODO Auto-generated method stub > ConnectivityManager mgr = (ConnectivityManager) > ctx.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE); > NetworkInfo ni = mgr.getActiveNetworkInfo(); > if(ni==null) > this.noConnection.set(true); > else if(!ni.isConnected()) > this.noConnection.set(true); > else > this.noConnection.set(false); > > } > > Is there any way this can fail? > > I have been using this for six months.
