Question

I have tried this code to check my mobile network connectivity

final ConnectivityManager connMgr = (ConnectivityManager) 
        getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);


        final android.net.NetworkInfo mobile = 
        connMgr.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE);


        if( mobile.isAvailable() ){
            Toast tst = Toast.makeText(this, "There is a network", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
              tst.show();   
                        }
        else
        {
            Toast tst = Toast.makeText(this, "There is No network",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
              tst.show();   
        }

The program always says “There is No network”, although, there is a network.
Maybe because I am using a 2G Sim Card and this method works for 3G. Any clue?

I guess you want telephony status, not data status.

Try with a different API.

This may work.

May be handy aswell.
