Android Help with stopping activity crashing (FC) when no internet connection is present

I have followed a tutorial to download images remotely, it works fine when an internet connection is present, but when you launch the activity with no internet connection present the activity crashes "force Closes"

I'am unfortunately an android novice so i'm not sure what to do to stop it crashing. Is their a way to just toast a message stating "Sorry Internet is required" with a blank screen, nothing fancy, just to stop it crashing.

Hope someone can show me how to do this, Thankyou Lucy

you can check connection availability:

public static boolean isDataConnectionAvailable(Context context){
        ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager)context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        NetworkInfo info = connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo();
        if(info == null)
            return false;

        return connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnected();
    }

Note: Add permission to your manifest file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

I can confirm Vineet's answer is good as I had the same issue.

My code that was not working is as follows:

public boolean isOnline() {

final ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);        
final NetworkInfo networkInfo = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();      
boolean connected = networkInfo.isConnected();

    if (connected)
        return true;
    else
        return false;

}

And the issue with my above example is that networkInfo.isConnected() does not appear to have a value. I was setting a boolean value to null, which (and yes my Java is sketchy since I am a newbie) I believe is not allowed, hence the app would throw up an exception and crash.

Here is now I solved it using Vineet’s solution.

public boolean isOnline() {

final ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);        
final NetworkInfo networkInfo = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();      

if(networkInfo == null)
    return false;
else
    return networkInfo.isConnected();

}

Now, it works correctly and the app no longer crashes. Hope this solution helps someone. And I suspect a JAVA guru will be able to better explain the issue with setting boolean to Null not being allowed.
