How do I know if I have an internet connection?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by LRMud

Good afternoon, I'm developing an App to register workers' entries and exits and it is very important that before starting the process, I can find out if, at that moment, my cell phone has internet access and not just know if the Wifi is connected or not .

As far as I know, the Connection.Connected function doesn't tell me if I have a network and internet connection at the moment.

Is there any way to find out if I have an internet connection?

    Maybe run a flow when the user clicks a button or when the app launches and based on the error it returns you will know. If it runs just have the flow return a 1 and if it doesnt it will throw an error of some type as it couldnt connect to the server to run it. Just catch that error and dipslay whatever you want.
