Reachability notification. Where's the right place in my app?

Question

I develop an app and some areas are required to be connected to internet generally. Not important how: 3G,Wifi.

So, my question is do I have to use reachability on the main view or I can implement it only in the specific areas where the internet connection is required?

Thank you in advance.

I'm pretty sure it can be implemented wherever you need it.

All you have to do:

Download the classes from here
Add Reachability.h and Reachability.m to your project
Add the SystemConfiguration framework

Then, wherever you want it...

Include it with:

#import "Reachability.h"

Write a method to call:

-(BOOL)reachable {
    Reachability *r = [Reachability reachabilityWithHostName:@"enbr.co.cc"];
    NetworkStatus internetStatus = [r currentReachabilityStatus];
    if(internetStatus == NotReachable) {
        return NO;
    }
    return YES;
}

Call it:

if ([self reachable]) {
    NSLog(@"Reachable");
}
else {
    NSLog(@"Not Reachable");
}
