android application crashes if no internet

Question

I am using this code to check the network availability for the android application.

public boolean isOnline(Context ctx) {
        ConnectivityManager conMgr =  (ConnectivityManager)ctx.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

        NetworkInfo i = conMgr.getActiveNetworkInfo();
          if (i == null)
            return false;
          if (!i.isConnected())
            return false;
          if (!i.isAvailable())
            return false;
          return true;
    }

But if am connect to a WiFi network but no internet is accessible in that network then how I will check that internet is not available, actually my application crashes and I want to show alert box instead of crashing the application!

Does somebody know how to check internet availability?

This is error log:

If you just want to be sure that you are connected to wifi and have an internet connection you could just ping a known adress, for example google which is usually online :)

URL url = new URL("http://www.google.com");
HttpURLConnection conn= (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
int responseCode = conn.getResponseCode();
//if responseCode = 200 - THEn CONN is connected
