How to know the server in reachable or not in android?

Question

Hi, I want to know is my website in reachable or available?

whit this method I know my device is online or not:

protected boolean isOnline() {

        ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        NetworkInfo netInfo = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
        if (netInfo != null && netInfo.isConnectedOrConnecting()) {
            Toast.makeText(this, "You are connecting to Internet!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            return true;
        } else {
            Toast.makeText(this, "You are not connecting to Internet!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            return false;
        }
    }

and with this method I want to know is URL available or not:

public boolean isServerReachable(String serverURL) {

        ConnectivityManager connMan = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        NetworkInfo netInfo = connMan.getActiveNetworkInfo();
        if (netInfo != null && netInfo.isConnected()) {
            try {
                URL urlServer = new URL(serverURL);
                HttpURLConnection urlConn = (HttpURLConnection) urlServer.openConnection();
                urlConn.setConnectTimeout(3000); //<- 3Seconds Timeout
                urlConn.connect();
                if (urlConn.getResponseCode() == 200) {
                    Toast.makeText(this, "Server is Available", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    return true;
                } else {
                    Toast.makeText(this, "Server is not Available", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    return false;
                }
            } catch (MalformedURLException e1) {
                return false;
            } catch (IOException e) {
                return false;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }

then I create a Button, when clicked this two method will call, like this:

if (isOnline()) {
    isServerReachable("https://www.google.com/");
 }

when I click the Button if WiFi is Off this Message will show:

You are not connecting to Internet!

and when WiFi is On this error will show:

How can I determine that the server is available or not?

Thank u.

Answer 1

Call your method isServerReachable() from an Asynctask .

Since your doing a network call on main thread of your application, it crashes.

Answer 2

The error is due to isServerReachable() method because you are doing the networking operations in the UI thread, which will result NetworkOnMainThreadException . Instead to running them directly execute the method in a AsyncTask or another worker Thread .

 public class MyAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Boolean> {
        @Override
        protected Boolean doInBackground(Void... params) {
            return isServerReachable(URl);
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(Boolean aBoolean) {
            super.onPostExecute(aBoolean);
            //Perform operations.
        }
    }
