Detect if connection is wifi, 3G or EDGE in android?

Question

I need to detect in android if there is any connection Wifi or 3G ( or 3G+) or EDGE in android. When there is an connection wifi or 3G I can send photos to server, and when is only a connection EDGE to not send them to server.

I saw that wifi connectivity can be detected with ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI and with ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE and TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_EDGE can be detected EDGE connection. But how can be detected 3G or 3G+?

public class WifiState {      Context context;      public WifiState(Context context) {         this.context = context;     }      public void haveNetworkConnection() {          boolean haveConnectedWifi = false;         boolean haveConnectedMobile = false;          ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) context                 .getSystemService(context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);         NetworkInfo[] netInfo = cm.getAllNetworkInfo();         for (NetworkInfo ni : netInfo) {             if (ni.getTypeName().equalsIgnoreCase("WIFI"))                 if (ni.isConnected())                     haveConnectedWifi = true;             if (ni.getTypeName().equalsIgnoreCase("MOBILE"))                 if (ni.isConnected())                     haveConnectedMobile = true;          }         if (haveConnectedWifi == false && haveConnectedMobile == false) {              //do something to handle if wifi & mobiledata is disabled          } else {                  //do something else..         }     }
