ReactiveNetwork: Connectivity return incorrect results ?

OS: Android 7.0 Emulator: Nexus S - Nougat API 24

When I turn off wifi on my phone, I return the result: connectivity.isAvailable() == true

It happens when turn on/off Wifi on phone several times.

ReactiveNetwork.observeNetworkConnectivity(this)
                .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
                .observeOn(Schedulers.newThread())
                .subscribe(new Consumer<Connectivity>() {
                    @Override public void accept(final Connectivity connectivity) {
                        EventBus.getDefault().post(new NetworkEvent(connectivity.isAvailable()));
                    }
                });

I’ve analyzed your code once again. Please note, you’re using NetworkInfo#isAvailable() method. According to the documentation it “Indicates whether network connectivity is possible”. Connectivity is possible, so the value is true. It’s correct behavior. If you want to check if you’re connected to the network or not, please use NetworkInfo#getState() method. In ReactiveNetwork, you can access it via Connectivity#getState() method. You can view available states in NetworkInfo.State documentation. E.g. it can be CONNECTED, DISCONNECTED, IDLE and so on.

Im sorry for reopening this issue but i have a question that is similar to it. Please check the code below and i struggle with it because of the incorrect value it returns. Because i do have internet connection and the library return false multiple times.

    Disposable rec = ReactiveNetwork.observeInternetConnectivity(new SocketInternetObservingStrategy(), "https://google.com")
            .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
            .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
            .subscribe(isConnectedToHost -> {
                if (isConnectedToHost) {
                    getApp().setConnected(true);
                    if(dialog!=null){
                        dialog.dismiss();
                    }
                } else {
                    getApp().setConnected(false);
                    showInternetDialog();
                }
            });
