title: Android: Establish internet connection
body: <p>I'm surprised I cannot find any info on the internet on this common situation: How can I start an internet connection? I looked at <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.html" rel="nofollow"><code>ConnectivityManager</code></a> but it seems it is just for monitoring network connectivity.</p>
  
  <p>PS: The phone will be rooted, so it is not a problem.</p>
