Check Internet Connection in Android (API Level 29) Using Network Callback

You need to call the below method once. It register the callback and fire it when there is a change in network state.
Here I used a Global Static Variable, So I can use it to access the network state in anyware of the application.

Register the callback on onCreate may cause it add more then one times.

Tha'ts not whats happening in actual, Registration is done only done once, than a global static is set. As for the update of value, It is done by android system once registered ( something similar to pub-sub way, can't explain fully here ). So there is essentially no overhead. If you accidentally try to register it again, no effect takes place.
On other hand, the old way to initiate NetworkInfo, and then find out if network is available, That was something that was being done everytime check was asked for. Since Android 10, Google is Promoting pub-sub/callback/relay style of apis instead of old functional apis because of performance reason. Anything that needs to be queried from system should be subscribed for, thats the direction they seems to going for.

Hi
My own version for checking if the user already doesn't have a connection, also handle the connection change status

please explain why you are using

        NetworkRequest.Builder builder = new NetworkRequest.Builder();

Reminiscent of older code, Before we found about registerDefault from google team, older version of code was basically build a network request object, add the wifi module and/or bluetooth module (basically any and all network interface you want to observe) and then use that object to registerNetworkCallback

When you use registerDefaultNetworkCallback, it basically connects to the lower level network pool with default options, so you don't need to (but you still can if you want) build your own network object.
