I'm trying to detect if there is actually an internet connection and websites are reachable. I have a broadcast receiver that runs the following method on receive:
public boolean hasInternetNow() {
Thread checkinternet = new Thread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
try {
try {
ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) myContext.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
if (cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnectedOrConnecting()) {
URL url = new URL("http://www.google.com");
HttpURLConnection urlc = (HttpURLConnection) url .openConnection();
urlc.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "test");
urlc.setRequestProperty("Connection", "close");
urlc.setConnectTimeout(1000); // mTimeout is in seconds
urlc.connect();
if (urlc.getResponseCode() == 200) {
setinternetDetected(true);
} else {
setinternetDetected(false);
}
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
setinternetDetected(false);
} catch (NullPointerException e){
e.printStackTrace();
setinternetDetected(false);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.getLocalizedMessage();
setinternetDetected(false);
}
}
});
checkinternet.start();
return internetDetected();
}
While connected to the Wifi and google is reachable through the internet app, I get the following error:

What am I missing here?
This method easily does the same:
public boolean isInternetAvailable() {
try {
InetAddress ipAddr = InetAddress.getByName("google.com"); //You can replace it with your name
if (ipAddr.equals("")) {
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
return false;
}
}
