...
StreamSubscription? subscription;
bool? _connected;

@override
void initState() {
  super.initState();
  SimpleConnectionChecker _simpleConnectionChecker = SimpleConnectionChecker()
      ..setLookUpAddress('pub.dev'); //Optional method to pass the lookup string
  subscription = _simpleConnectionChecker.onConnectionChange.listen((connected) {
    setState(() {
      _connected = connected;
    });
  });
}

@override
void dispose() {
  subscription?.cancel();
