I had similar problem last month and someone helped me out with an optional example. I'd like to suggest you the same

public boolean isServerReachable()
    // To check if server is reachable
    {
        try {
            InetAddress.getByName("google.com").isReachable(3000); //Replace with your name
            return true;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            return false;
        }
    }

if return true than your url server is available else is not available currently.
