public boolean isOnline() {
ConnectivityManager conMgr = (ConnectivityManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemSer
vice(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo netInfo = conMgr.getActiveNetworkInfo();
if(netInfo == null || !netInfo.isConnected() || !netInfo.isAvailable()){
Toast.makeText(context, "No Internet connection!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return false;
}
return true;
}

And you must add premission for accessing network state and Internet:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>

Maybe try this

handler.removeCallbacks(checkInternetConnection);
handler.postDelayed(checkInternetConnection, UPDATE_INTERVAL);

public Runnable checkInternetConnection = new Runnable() {

public void run() {
handler.postDelayed(checkInternetConnection, UPDATE_INTERVAL);
ConnectivityManager conMgr = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CON
NECTIVITY_SERVICE);
if(conMgr.getActiveNetworkInfo()!=null
&& conMgr.getActiveNetworkInfo().isAvailable()
&& conMgr.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnected()){
alertOff();
}
else{
alertOn();

The above method just informs you whether your mobile has the possibility to connect
to the internet, however, it does not tell exactly if connectivity exists.. for example, you
might be able to connect to a wifi, but be in a coffee shop where you should enter
credentials into a hot spot website... or , your home wifi might be working, and you are
connected to it, but cannot access internet. Use the below code to check for internet
connetivity. it is preferable to use this inside an asynctask.
public boolean hasActiveInternetConnection()
{
try
{
HttpURLConnection urlc = (HttpURLConnection) (new URL("http://www.google.com").ope
nConnection());
urlc.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Test");
urlc.setRequestProperty("Connection", "close");
urlc.setConnectTimeout(4000);
urlc.setReadTimeout(4000);
urlc.connect();
networkcode2 = urlc.getResponseCode();
return (urlc.getResponseCode() == 200);
} catch (IOException e)
{
Log.i("warning", "Error checking internet connection", e);
return false;
}
}

This is working in my code, try this:

public static void showNetDisabledAlertToUser(final Context context)
{
AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context, AlertDialog.THEME_T
RADITIONAL);
alertDialogBuilder
.setMessage("No internet connection on your device. Would you like to enable it?")
.setTitle("No Internet Connection")
.setCancelable(false)
.setPositiveButton(" Enable Internet ",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()
{

});

public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id)

{
Intent dialogIntent = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_SETTINGS);
dialogIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(dialogIntent);
}

This only displays an alert, but the question also requires checking if an internet connection is available or not
to know when to display the alert. Marilia yesterday
