Check internet connection with target sdk 29 and without deprecated methods

Question

I have the

compileSdkVersion 29

and

targetSdkVersion 29

in my android app. And to check if there is a connection I use the next code:

val connectivityManager = context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE) as ConnectivityManager?
return connectivityManager?.activeNetworkInfo?.isConnected ?: false

But with my targetSdk the activeNetworkInfo is deprecated. How can I check the connection status without deprecated methods and variables?

have you checked the android documentation? It says exactly what to use instead. — Vladyslav Matviienko, Sep 12 '19 at 10:39

You can do it as below:

    val connectivityManager =
        context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE) as ConnectivityManager
    if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
        val network = connectivityManager.activeNetwork
        val capabilities = connectivityManager.getNetworkCapabilities(network)
        return capabilities != null && (capabilities.hasTransport(NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_WIFI) || capabilities.hasTransport(
            NetworkCapabilities.TRANSPORT_CELLULAR
        ))
    }
