Answer 1

You have two options for that, you can taste the abstract status of the network to get information if you are connected or not and if it's mobile or WiFi using ConnectivityManager, describe in details in this android article.

Or you can use the WifiManager, that allows you to:

• Lock/Unlock Wifi network
• Turn on/off WiFi network
• Change description of specific connection
• Ask for scan - Manually cause the device to scan for WiFi networks.
• Get information about all the networks detected by device
• And more...

For part of the operations you will have to request

• ACCESS_WIFI_STATE
• CHANGE_WIFI_STATE
