Answer 1

You can check if your are connected in Ethernet or in Wifi with ConnectivityManager :

ConnectivityManager connManager = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo wifi = connManager.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI);
NetworkInfo ethernet = connManager.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_ETHERNET);

// get the ethernet state with : ethernet.getState()
// get the Wifi state with : wifi.getState()

You need to add in your manifest :

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

You can register to connectivity events via a BroadcastReceiver, check this example

Or you can use this library that makes it for you

Answer 2

private Boolean isNetworkAvailable() {
        ConnectivityManager connectivityManager
                = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        NetworkInfo activeNetworkInfo = connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo();
        return activeNetworkInfo != null && activeNetworkInfo.isConnectedOrConnecting();
}

public Boolean isWifiConnected(){
        if(isNetworkAvailable()){
            ConnectivityManager cm
                    = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
            return (cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().getType() == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI);
        }
        return false;
}

public Boolean isEthernetConnected(){
        if(isNetworkAvailable()){
            ConnectivityManager cm
                    = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
            return (cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().getType() == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_ETHERNET);
        }
        return false;
}

Then :

if(isEthernetConnected()){
    // connected
}
else {
    //not connected
}
