# Check Internet Connectivity
This method is used to check weather WI-Fi is connected or not.
# Check if device has internet connectivity
Add the required network permissions to the application manifest file:

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

# How to check network strength
To check exact strength in decibels use this-
ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo Info = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
if (Info == null || !Info.isConnectedOrConnecting()) {
Log.i(TAG, "No connection");
} else {
int netType = Info.getType();
int netSubtype = Info.getSubtype();
if (netType == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI) {
Log.i(TAG, "Wifi connection");
WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) getApplication().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
List<ScanResult> scanResult = wifiManager.getScanResults();
for (int i = 0; i < scanResult.size(); i++) {
Log.d("scanResult", "Speed of wifi"+scanResult.get(i).level);//The db level of signal
}
// Need to get wifi strength
} else if (netType == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE) {
Log.i(TAG, "GPRS/3G connection");
// Need to get differentiate between 3G/GPRS
}
}
To check Network type use this Class-
public class Connectivity {
/*
* These constants aren't yet available in my API level (7), but I need to
* handle these cases if they come up, on newer versions
*/
