Answer 1

I believe this will do the job..

ConnectivityManager manager = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        if (manager != null) {
            NetworkInfo info = manager.getActiveNetworkInfo();
            if (info != null && info.isConnected()) {
                networkAvailable = true;
            }
