//Check if Internet Network is active
 private boolean checkNetwork() {

 boolean wifiDataAvailable = false;
 boolean mobileDataAvailable = false;

ConnectivityManager conManager = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo[] networkInfo = conManager.getAllNetworkInfo();

for (NetworkInfo netInfo : networkInfo) {
  if (netInfo.getTypeName().equalsIgnoreCase("WIFI"))
    if (netInfo.isConnected())
        wifiDataAvailable = true;
    if (netInfo.getTypeName().equalsIgnoreCase("MOBILE"))
        if (netInfo.isConnected())
        mobileDataAvailable = true;
    }
    return wifiDataAvailable || mobileDataAvailable;
