I am making a Flutter app for android/iOS and I would like to check if the device has an internet connection on the app startup and then show a SnackBar if it doesn't have one.
Is it a good idea to send an HTTP request and if it doesn't get a response in 5 seconds it will decide that the device doesn't have an internet connection? Or is there a better way?
CodePudding user response：
You can use connectivity_plus package in your initState to check for internet connectivity
CodePudding user response：
The connectivity package does not guarantee the actual internet connection (could be just wifi connection without internet access).
This is what I got from documentation
Note that on Android, this does not guarantee connection to Internet. For instance, the app might have wifi access but it might be a VPN or a hotel WiFi with no access.
If you really need to check the connection to the www Internet the better choice would be
