Android NetworkInfo.getTypeName() return values

Intro: Using the getTypeName() method returns the human readable String value of a network information examined. Trying to locate the possible returned values led me to ConnectivityManager's getNetworkTypeName method.

Some of the values returned can be: "MOBILE_DUN", "WIMAX", "BLUETOOTH", "ETHERNET", etc...

Question: What are the values i should consider when asking if the device is connected?
Question: If, for instance, i'm connected with "MOBILE_DUN" or "ETHERNET", am i still considered connected with "MOBILE"/"WIFI"?

Question: If, for instance, i'm connected with "MOBILE_DUN" or "ETHERNET", am i still considered connected with "MOBILE"/"WIFI"?

Answer: The answer is yes. It seems your device can be connected to a number of these networks simultaneously.

            || cm.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE)
                    .isConnectedOrConnecting())
