Answer 1

You should use a broadcast receiver as mentioned in other SO answers, but since you have asked how to do this otherwise, here you go:

 * Checks for an existing network connectivity
 * 
 * @param context
 *            The {@link Context} which is needed to tap
 *            {@link Context#CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE}
 * @return True if network connection is available
 */
public static boolean isNetworkAvailable(Context context) {
    ConnectivityManager connectivity = (ConnectivityManager) context
            .getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

    if (connectivity == null) {
        return false;
    } else {
        NetworkInfo[] info = connectivity.getAllNetworkInfo();
        if (info != null) {
            for (int i = 0; i < info.length; i++) {
                if (info[i].getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED) {
                    return true;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    return false;
}

Will need additional permission to be specified in the manifest file
