Ionic 3 network connectivity check how to implement for all pages (components)?

Dear Friends,
I need to check internet connectivity as well as actual access if connection already exist. I prefer a dialog with ok and settings. If click settings redirect to network settings page … I can understand that https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/network/ do the stuff . I prefer a working sample for same…

Thanking you

Hi, @anespa

Here is sample code for check internet connectivity when your app is online or offline.

First, you need to create network provider and add following code,

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { AlertController, Events } from 'ionic-angular';
import { Network } from '@ionic-native/network';

export enum ConnectionStatusEnum {
    Online,
    Offline
}


@Injectable()
export class NetworkProvider {

  previousStatus;

  constructor(public alertCtrl: AlertController, 
              public network: Network,
              public eventCtrl: Events) {

    console.log('Hello NetworkProvider Provider');

    this.previousStatus = ConnectionStatusEnum.Online;
    
  }

    public initializeNetworkEvents(): void {
        this.network.onDisconnect().subscribe(() => {
            if (this.previousStatus === ConnectionStatusEnum.Online) {
                this.eventCtrl.publish('network:offline');
            }
            this.previousStatus = ConnectionStatusEnum.Offline;
        });
        this.network.onConnect().subscribe(() => {
            if (this.previousStatus === ConnectionStatusEnum.Offline) {
                this.eventCtrl.publish('network:online');
            }
            this.previousStatus = ConnectionStatusEnum.Online;
        });
    }

}

Now add this code to app.component file when initializing your app,

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { Platform,  Events } from 'ionic-angular';
import { Network } from '@ionic-native/network';
import { NetworkProvider } from '../providers/network/network';

@Component({
	templateUrl: 'app.html'
})

export class MyApp {

        constructor(public platform: Platform, 
                    public events: Events,
                    public network: Network,
                    public networkProvider: NetworkProvider) { }

        initializeApp() {

            this.platform.ready().then(() => {

	            this.networkProvider.initializeNetworkEvents();

	       		// Offline event
			    this.events.subscribe('network:offline', () => {
			        alert('network:offline ==> '+this.network.type);    
			    });

			    // Online event
			    this.events.subscribe('network:online', () => {
			        alert('network:online ==> '+this.network.type);        
			    });

            });
        }

}

@addwebsolution : but this solution work only the app is loaded time ? I prefer it on all the time when the app is running .

Please advise

Thanks

Anes

@anespa, No it’s work for all time when your network is connected and disconnected

But I got error as

[14:13:58] typescript: src/app/app.component.ts, line: 26
Property ‘platform’ does not exist on type ‘MyApp’.

  L26:              this.platform.ready().then(() => {

Please advise

Thanks

@anespa Please share your full code here (ts file)
Are u checking it on the root component?

sure

app.component.ts

  rootPage:any = HomePage;

  constructor(platform: Platform, statusBar: StatusBar, splashScreen: SplashScreen) {
    platform.ready().then(() => {
      // Okay, so the platform is ready and our plugins are available.
      // Here you can do any higher level native things you might need.
      statusBar.styleDefault();
      splashScreen.hide();
    });
  }

  initializeApp() {

            this.platform.ready().then(() => {

	            this.networkProvider.initializeNetworkEvents();

	       		// Offline event
			    this.events.subscribe('network:offline', () => {
			        alert('network:offline ==> '+this.network.type);    
			    });

			    // Online event
			    this.events.subscribe('network:online', () => {
			        alert('network:online ==> '+this.network.type);        
			    });

            });
        }

}

Please advise

@anespa
Why should u use platform.ready inside constructor?
you already checking it on initializeApp().So try to avoid it from there.
and use
statusBar.styleDefault();
splashScreen.hide();
inside the method initializeApp().Also check network status inside the initializeApp().

I changed app.component.ts as

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { Platform, Events } from 'ionic-angular';
import { StatusBar } from '@ionic-native/status-bar';
import { SplashScreen } from '@ionic-native/splash-screen';

import { NetworkProvider } from '../providers/network/network';

import { HomePage } from '../pages/home/home';
@Component({
  templateUrl: 'app.html'
})
export class MyApp {
  rootPage:any = HomePage;

  constructor(platform: Platform, statusBar: StatusBar, splashScreen: SplashScreen) {
  }

  initializeApp() {

            this.platform.ready().then(() => {
                    statusBar.styleDefault();
      		    splashScreen.hide();

	            this.networkProvider.initializeNetworkEvents();

	       		// Offline event
			    this.events.subscribe('network:offline', () => {
			        alert('network:offline ==> '+this.network.type);    
			    });

			    // Online event
			    this.events.subscribe('network:online', () => {
			        alert('network:online ==> '+this.network.type);        
			    });

            });
        }
}

still got error . please advise

@anespa Please let me know the error?

But Vibin i need this functionality all through pages …

@anespa please call the method initializeApp() inside constructor.This is your error now

Try with:

constructor(private platform: Platform, 
            private statusBar: StatusBar, 
            private splashScreen: SplashScreen) {
    ...
}

Hi, your code is working on me. But, how can I reload the view whenever the network changes?

what if I have wifi connection but no Internet connectivity?
How can I check that???

Do an http request to www.google.com with a timeout

Just a small tip.The network not always could be trusted as stable, so I would do something like this (setTimeout).
So I could make sure that I have a stable network in 3 seconds before I could pass it as online.
Sometimes the app could so slow so the network indicate you’re online but was offline just because the network was so quick to switch to offline. That really mess things up for me once. But this small tip should avoid that.

I would also like some help here. I followed what you did @addwebsolution but it doesn’t work. The app is not crashing but it does nada when I turn Internetz on and off.
