Multiplatform connectivity status

This Kotlin multiplatform mobile utility library allows monitoring the internet connection status of the device. You can use it from shared code as well as directly from Android or iOS code.

The project structure is taken from this well explained and detailed tutorial.

Installation

Add mavenCentral() to your repositories:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        // ... other repositories
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

Add the library to your project:

kotlin {
    android()
    ios()

    sourceSets {
        val commonMain by getting {
            dependencies {
                implementation("com.github.ln-12:multiplatform-connectivity-status:1.2.0")
            }
        }
    }
}

On iOS, you also have to add the Reachability pod to your Podfile:

target 'iosApp' do
    pod 'Reachability'
end 

Usage

// get the satus object, on Android provide a context
val connectivityStatus = ConnectivityStatus()

// output changes
connectivityStatus.isNetworkConnected.collect {
    printnl("New status $it")
}

// start monitoring
connectivityStatus.start()

// some code from your project

// when you are done, stop it
connectivityStatus.stop()

On iOS, you can also use this getStatus() closure to observe changes:

connectivityStatus.getStatus(success: { status in
    print(status.boolValue)
})

Sample

You can find a sample Android and iOS app inside the sample directory.
