First, you need permission to know whether the device is connected to the web or not. This needs to be in your manifest, in the element:

then

ConnectivityManager connec = (ConnectivityManager)getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

if (connec != null && (
    (connec.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI).getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED) || 
    (connec.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE).getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED))) { 

        //You are connected, do something online.

} else if (connec != null && (
    (connec.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI).getState() == NetworkInfo.State.DISCONNECTED) ||
    (connec.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE).getState() == NetworkInfo.State.DISCONNECTED ))) {            

        //Not connected.    
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "You must be connected to the internet", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

}
