check if internet connected flutter

By Lokesh003 on Apr 29, 2021

The connectivity plugin states in its docs that it only provides information if 
there is a network connection, but not if the network is connected to the 
Internet

Note that on Android, this does not guarantee connection to Internet. For 
instance, the app might have wifi access but it might be a VPN or a hotel WiFi 
with no access. You can use

import 'dart:io';
...
try {
  final result = await InternetAddress.lookup('google.com');
  if (result.isNotEmpty && result[0].rawAddress.isNotEmpty) {
    print('connected');
  }
} on SocketException catch (_) {
  print('not connected');
}

how to handle the case of no internet connection in flutter

By Elegant Emu on Oct 14, 2020

I found that just using the connectivity package was not enough to tell if the internet was available or not. In Android it only checks if there is WIFI or if mobile data is turned on, it does not check for an actual internet connection . During my testing, even with no mobile signal ConnectivityResult.mobile would return true.

With IOS my testing found that the connectivity plugin does correctly detect if there is an internet connection when the phone has no signal, the issue was only with Android.

The solution I found was to use the data_connection_checker package along with the connectivity package. This just makes sure there is an internet connection by making requests to a few reliable addresses, the default timeout for the check is around 10 seconds.

My finished isInternet function looked a bit like this:

  Future<bool> isInternet() async {
    var connectivityResult = await (Connectivity().checkConnectivity());
    if (connectivityResult == ConnectivityResult.mobile) {
      // I am connected to a mobile network, make sure there is actually a net connection.
      if (await DataConnectionChecker().hasConnection) {
        // Mobile data detected & internet connection confirmed.
        return true;
      } else {
        // Mobile data detected but no internet connection found.
        return false;
      }
    } else if (connectivityResult == ConnectivityResult.wifi) {
      // I am connected to a WIFI network, make sure there is actually a net connection.
      if (await DataConnectionChecker().hasConnection) {
        // Wifi detected & internet connection confirmed.
        return true;
      } else {
        // Wifi detected but no internet connection found.
        return false;
      }
    } else {
      // Neither mobile data or WIFI detected, not internet connection found.
      return false;
    }
  }
The if (await DataConnectionChecker().hasConnection) part is the same for both mobile and wifi connections and should probably be moved to a separate function. I've not done that here to leave it more readable.

if (connectivityResult == ConnectivityResult.mobile) {
  // I am connected to a mobile network.
} else if (connectivityResult == ConnectivityResult.wifi) {
  // I am connected to a wifi network.
}
