check internet connection is Connected or not in Xamarin Forms

Question

I am learning Xamarin,

I would like to know if there is another way to check internet connection.

I Have used CrossConnectivity.Current.IsConnected from the plugin https://www.nuget.org/packages/Xam.Plugin.Connectivity but it is not worked when I put my wifi off

I have also used Xamarin.Essentails but still not working..

private bool CheckInternet()
        {
            var current = Connectivity.NetworkAccess;

            if (current == NetworkAccess.Internet) return true;
            else return false;
        }

Thanks for your help

Checkout full documentation link

You can use

public async Task<string> MakeWebRequest()
{
    if(!CrossConnectivity.Current.IsConnected)
    {
      //You are offline, notify the user
      return null;
    }

    //Make web request here
}
