exception while check wifi availability

Question

i have this code for chech if wifi connection is available, called before an asyncTask, and after my device detect a nfc tag:

public static boolean connectionAvailable(Context context) {
    ConnectivityManager connManager = (ConnectivityManager) context
            .getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    Log.i("UTILS", connManager.toString());

    NetworkInfo mWifi = connManager
            .getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI);

    Log.i("UTILS", mWifi.toString());

    return mWifi.isConnected();
}

now i get this error:

where line 14 is this line:

.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);w

What's wrong?

Answer 1

check your context it seems to be null. From the logcat also it seems like this....Once verify the context :)

Answer 2

try this

public static boolean connectionAvailable(Context context) {
        ConnectivityManager connManager = (ConnectivityManager) context
                .getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

if (connManager != null) {
    Log.i("UTILS", connManager.toString());
        NetworkInfo mWifi = connManager
                .getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI);
    if (mWifi != null) {
        Log.i("UTILS", mWifi.toString());

        return mWifi.isConnected();
    }
   }
     return false;
 }

Answer 3

context is null. Please check the value you pass to the connectionAvailable. If you are using Activity as Context, it should be running. So, you can use application context instead.
