You can use the following code to check for connectivity:

private static boolean isConnected(Context context) {
    ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager)
        context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    NetworkInfo networkInfo = null;
    if (connectivityManager != null) {
        networkInfo =
            connectivityManager.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI);
    }
    return networkInfo == null ? false : networkInfo.isConnected();
}

Please make sure that you've registered the android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE intent in your Manifest, or else, you'll never receive a notification that you're online.

I've been struggling with this issue for the last couple of days and I just now realized that I needed to register CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE and not only WIFI_STATE_CHANGED.
