4,208 PointsNetwork/Internet connection - Best way to detect?
Hi all,
I was hoping to get some feedback in terms of what is the best way to test whether a user has internet connection before a method which relies on a internet connection is implemented.
I have found 3 different ways to do this:
- Try to access data from a website with typically has a quick-response time like google
NSString *testConnection = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://google.co.uk"] encoding:NO error:nil];
if (testConnection != nil) {
//There is an active internet connection
}else {
//There is NOT an active internet connection
}
