Intent action for network events in android sdk

Question

I need to receive broadcasts for network actions like network connected, disconnected etc. I am using a broadcast receiver for this purpose. Can anyone please tell me which intent action I need to capture for network events, right now as per my search on internet I am using android.net.ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION.

Here is my broadcast receiver class:

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver; import android.content.Context; import android.content.Intent;  public class NetworkStateReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {  @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {     // TODO Auto-generated method stub       if (intent.getAction().equals(             android.net.ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION)) {          // do something..     } } } 

and I have also added permission for accessing network state:

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

here is how I have declared this class in manifest file

<receiver class=".NetworkStateReceiver" android:name=".NetworkStateReceiver">     <intent-filter>             <action android:name="android.net.ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION" />     </intent-filter> </receiver> 

Please suggest me the right intent action if I am wrong OR if there is any other way to catch network events.

Here's a working example:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />  <receiver android:name=".receiver.ConnectivityReceiver">     <intent-filter>         <action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE" />     </intent-filter> </receiver> 

.

public class ConnectivityReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {      @Override     public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {         Log.d(ConnectivityReceiver.class.getSimpleName(), "action: "                 + intent.getAction());     }  }
