Android getAllNetworkInfo() is Deprecated. What is the alternative?

Question

I want to use the ConnectivityManager which provides the getAllNetworkInfo() method for checking the availability of network in Android. This method was deprecated in API level 23. And the developer documentation is suggesting to use getAllNetworks() instead. I tried but couldn't get the exact functionalities which I was getting out of my old code. Please someone could guide me how to use the getAllNetworks() method?

 public boolean isConnectingToInternet(){     ConnectivityManager connectivity = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);       if (connectivity != null)        {           @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")         NetworkInfo[] info = connectivity.getAllNetworkInfo();           //use getAllNetworks() instead           if (info != null)                for (int i = 0; i < info.length; i++)                    if (info[i].getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED)                   {                       return true;                   }       }       return false; }

When i update my deprecated code and still want to support backward Api. i use this :

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.WANTED API VERSION){ //code }else{ //code } 

In this way each device use the appropriate code for it. Example:

public class ConnectionDetector {      private Context mContext;      public ConnectionDetector(Context context) {         this.mContext = context;     }     /**      * Checking for all possible internet providers      * **/     public boolean isConnectingToInternet() {         ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);         if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {             Network[] networks = connectivityManager.getAllNetworks();             NetworkInfo networkInfo;             for (Network mNetwork : networks) {                 networkInfo = connectivityManager.getNetworkInfo(mNetwork);                 if (networkInfo.getState().equals(NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED)) {                     return true;                 }             }         }else {             if (connectivityManager != null) {                 //noinspection deprecation                 NetworkInfo[] info = connectivityManager.getAllNetworkInfo();                 if (info != null) {                     for (NetworkInfo anInfo : info) {                         if (anInfo.getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED) {                             LogUtils.d("Network",                                     "NETWORKNAME: " + anInfo.getTypeName());                             return true;                         }                     }                 }             }         }         Toast.makeText(mContext,mContext.getString(R.string.please_connect_to_internet),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();         return false;     } }
