Have you tried Phone.GetNetworkType? It should return "UNKNOWN" if there is no connection.

Click to expand...

Unfortunately it only gives back the cellular type. If I turn off the mobile connection it also say "HSPAP" or another type...

You can use this code:

B4X:

Sub MobileDataEnabled As Boolean
   Dim r As Reflector
   r.Target = r.GetContext
   r.Target = r.RunMethod2("getSystemService", "connectivity", "java.lang.String")
   Return r.RunMethod("getMobileDataEnabled")
End Sub

Add this line to the manifest editor:

B4X:

AddPermission(android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE)

Note that it calls a hidden API. This means that it might be removed in a future version of Android.
