Checking for Internet Connection

This is a background service that constantly checks if connection is available. You can select the URL to ping and the interval of this action.

How to

In your activity, where you want to start this service:

        Intent intent = new Intent(this, ConnectionService.class);
        // Interval in seconds
        intent.putExtra(ConnectionService.TAG_INTERVAL, 100);
        // URL to ping
        intent.putExtra(ConnectionService.TAG_URL_PING, "http://www.google.com");
        // Name of the class that is calling this service
        intent.putExtra(ConnectionService.TAG_ACTIVITY_NAME, this.getClass().getName());
        // Starts the service
        startService(intent);

Implement ConnectionService.ConnectionServiceCallback on your activity and override the methods:

    @Override
    public void hasInternetConnection() {
       // has internet
    }

    @Override
    public void hasNoInternetConnection() {
       // no internet :(
    }

Stop the service

 	stopService(new Intent(this, ConnectionService.class));
