Checking Wi-Fi enabled or not on Android


WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);if (wifiManager.isWifiEnabled()) {  // wifi is enabled}

For details check here


The above answers work fine. But don't forget to add the right permissions in the Manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/><uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/><uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE"/>

Hope it helps ..


The top answer is correct, but not up to date because this code may leak memory on certain devices.

Therefore the better answer would be:

WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);if (wifiManager.isWifiEnabled()) {  // wifi is enabled}

Permissions in app=>mainfests=>AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" /><uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" /><uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" />
