Android - How to manage Wifi connection to be updated on every change everytime

I'm developing an app with a WebView that loads some content from the web.

What I'm trying to do is to detect every Wi-Fi change (connected or not connected) and show a dialog if Wi-Fi is not connected or the content of the WebView if it is connected.

I implemented a BroadcastReceiver with action android.net.wifi.WIFI_STATE_CHANGED:

public class SyncOfflineDataOnWifiReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        NetworkInfo info = (NetworkInfo)intent.getParcelableExtra(WifiManager.EXTRA_NETWORK_INFO);
        if (info!=null && info.getDetailedState() == DetailedState.CONNECTED) {
            Application.setInternet(true);
        }else{
            Application.setInternet(false);
        }
    }
}

So when Wi-Fi connects flag boolean Internet is set to true (otherwise false).

What I need is a module that tries to reconnect to the same Wi-Fi (the saved one) till it is not connected. Is possible to have something like this? Thanks!

Of course it's possible. It's in the WiFi manager API. Review it, especially the reassociate() and reconnect() methods: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/WifiManager.html
