ConnectivityManager connectionManager;

if(app_context!=null)

connectionManager = (ConnectivityManager) app_context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

        else
            return false;

        try 
        {
            if (connectionManager.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnected()) 
            {
                Log.e(THIS_FILE, "Communicator ....isConnected()");
                return true;
            } 
            else
            { 
                Log.e(THIS_FILE, "Communicator ....isNotConnected()");
                return false;
            }
        } 
        catch (NullPointerException e) 
        {
            Log.e(THIS_FILE, "No Active Connection");
            return false;
        }
    }
