I am using Glide library to fetch images from an API. In the case of network connectivity issues, my present implementation just shows the error image. I want to display a toast message if the internet is not present.

About using services: I think it would be an overkill for a simple app to continuously check the internet. Also if images are already on the screen I don't want to raise any alarm. It is only when images are fetched, the notifications should be raised.

I tried to look into Glide's working but was unable to find a good solution.

Precisely, I want to set timeouts for Glide to fetch images. If it fails to do so a toast would be raised to inform user about low internet connectivity. Please suggest how to do so or if there is any other better way to do this.

public static boolean isNetConnected(Context context) {
    final ConnectivityManager mConnectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) context
            .getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

    final NetworkInfo netInfo = mConnectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo();
    if (netInfo != null && netInfo.isConnectedOrConnecting()) {
        return true;
    }
    return false;

}

  • I don't like this answer for a few reasons: 1) You're using hungarian notation (mPrefix) and you're using it incorrectly. 2) You're also calling `isConnectedOrConnecting` which returns true even when you're not connected to the internet, even tho your method name is isNetConnected. Another option is `isConnected`. 3) this is a one time call and doesn't listen to changes to internet connectivity (example: disconnected, no connection) 4) you can inline that if-statement – Zun May 02 '19 at 11:09
