In my experience... it's best to use Android training guides for these types of efforts. It's easy to get null pointer exceptions when you use these classes, and it's especially bad when you try to detect these connections when the app first opens and then the app crashes.

You can use the ConnectivityManager to check that you're actually connected to the Internet, and if so, what type of connection is in place:

You can use the ConnectivityManager to determine the active wireless radio:
