Handling Different Activities on Internet Retry Button Click in Android with Kotlin

When developing Android applications, user experience is paramount. A common user scenario occurs when an application needs to handle a situation with no internet connectivity. In this guide, we’ll address how to manage transitions between different activities when the user clicks a "Retry" button, depending on the context from which they navigate to a retry screen.

The Problem

Imagine an Android application that provides users with a "no internet connection" page. This page has a "Retry" button that, when clicked, should lead the user back to different activities based on where they came from.

Scenarios

If the user is on the Splash Activity (no internet): Clicking "Retry" should load the home activity.

If the user is on the Contact Us Activity (no internet): Clicking "Retry" should bring them back to the Contact Us Activity.

The challenge is to determine the source activity when clicking the "Retry" button and redirecting appropriately.

The Solution

To implement this functionality, we will utilize Android Intents and pass information between activities using extras. Let's break it down into steps for clarity.

Step 1: Connecting the Splash and Contact Activities to the Retry Screen

SplashActivity.java

First, we need to modify the SplashActivity to check the internet connection. If there is no connection, we will direct the user to the RetryActivity and pass the source.

ContactActivity.java

The same approach is used for ContactActivity.

Step 2: Handling the Retry Button Click in RetryActivity.java

In RetryActivity, we’ll handle the "Retry" button click and check for internet connectivity. Depending on the passed source, we will redirect the users to the appropriate activity.

Step 3: Checking Internet Connectivity

We will need a utility class that checks for internet connectivity. Below is a simple implementation.

Conclusion

By leveraging Android Intents and implementing a simple utility for connectivity checks, we can gracefully handle user interactions across different activities based on their navigation source. This enhances user experience and ensures that users can seamlessly retry their actions without confusion or frustration.

Now you have a robust way to handle activity transitions upon internet connectivity checks in Android using Kotlin!

Keep experimenting with the code and feel free to customize the user experience to fit the needs of your application.
