this method work fine for me

 public final boolean isInternetOn() {
        // get Connectivity Manager object to check connection
        ConnectivityManager connec =
                (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(getBaseContext().CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

        // Check for network connections
        if (connec.getNetworkInfo(0).getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED ||
                connec.getNetworkInfo(0).getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTING ||
                connec.getNetworkInfo(1).getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTING ||
                connec.getNetworkInfo(1).getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED) {
            // if connected with internet
            // Toast.makeText(this, " Connected ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            return true;

        } else if (
                connec.getNetworkInfo(0).getState() == NetworkInfo.State.DISCONNECTED ||
                        connec.getNetworkInfo(1).getState() == NetworkInfo.State.DISCONNECTED) {

            //  Toast.makeText(this, " Not Connected ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            return false;
        }
        return false;
    }

It still gives "Connected",even if my WIFI has no internet connectivity.Please help? — Radhika Obhan, Jun 07 '17 at 18:35

Try this:

 public static boolean hasInternet(Context context) {
    ConnectivityManager connMgr = (ConnectivityManager)
            context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    NetworkInfo networkInfo = connMgr.getActiveNetworkInfo();
    return networkInfo != null && networkInfo.isConnected();
}

To check if internet connection is available or not despite of WIFI turned on?
