Answer 1

Better use would be:

    NetworkInfo activeNetworkInfo = ((ConnectivityManager) activity.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE)).getActiveNetworkInfo();
    if (activeNetworkInfo == null) return false;
    switch (activeNetworkInfo.getType()) {
        case ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI:
            return true;
    }
//        public static final int TYPE_BLUETOOTH = 7;
//        public static final int TYPE_DUMMY = 8;
//        public static final int TYPE_ETHERNET = 9;
//        public static final int TYPE_MOBILE = 0;
//        public static final int TYPE_MOBILE_DUN = 4;
//        /** @deprecated */
//        @Deprecated
//        public static final int TYPE_MOBILE_HIPRI = 5;
//        /** @deprecated */
//        @Deprecated
//        public static final int TYPE_MOBILE_MMS = 2;
//        /** @deprecated */
//        @Deprecated
//        public static final int TYPE_MOBILE_SUPL = 3;
//        public static final int TYPE_VPN = 17;
//        public static final int TYPE_WIFI = 1;
//        public static final int TYPE_WIMAX = 6;

Which other types you want to define and handle is up to you...

For those wanting a string identifier, better use:

activeNetworkInfo.getTypeName()
activeNetworkInfo.getSubtypeName()
