Answer 1

Also, be aware that sometimes the user will be connected to a Wi-Fi network, but that network might require browser-based authentication. Most airport and hotel hotspots are like that, so you application might be fooled into thinking you have connectivity, and then any URL fetches will actually retrieve the hotspot's login page instead of the page you are looking for.

Depending on the importance of performing this check, in addition to checking the connection with ConnectivityManager, I'd suggest including code to check that it's a working Internet connection and not just an illusion. You can do that by trying to fetch a known address/resource from your site, like a 1x1 PNG image or 1-byte text file.
