title: Android check internet connection
body: <p>I want to create an app that uses the internet and I'm trying to create a function that checks if a connection is available and if it isn't, go to an activity that has a retry button and an explanation. </p>
  
  <p>Attached is my code so far, but I'm getting the error <code>Syntax error, insert "}" to complete MethodBody.</code></p>
  
  <p>Now I have been placing these in trying to get it to work, but so far no luck... Any help would be appreciated.</p>
