Class DefaultConnectivityCheck

java.lang.Object
com.castlabs.android.network.DefaultConnectivityCheck
All Implemented Interfaces:
ConnectivityCheck
public class DefaultConnectivityCheck extends Object implements ConnectivityCheck
The default implementation of the connectivity checker. This implementation uses the systems ConnectivityManager to resolve the current NetworkInfo and then uses NetworkInfo.isConnected() to check for connectivity.

If you specify a lookup host name, a name lookup will be done to verify connectivity if the ConnectivityManager reports that the device is connected. We do this because there seems to be a slight delay and inaccuracy where the ConnectivityManager reports that we have connectivity, but that is actually not the case. To verify connectivity, we do a host name lookup for the given host to verify connectivity. This is an optional step and will be omitted if no lookup host name is specified.

Since:
3.1.2
