Check internet connection availability

Sometimes you have to check if Internet connectivity is available. The below code shows how to use Tizen Native APIs to check if there is a Wi-Fi or the Cellular network available. 
#include <net_connection.h>
#include <dlog.h> //for logging purposes


bool internet_available = false;
connection_h connection;
connection_type_e type;
	
if (connection_create(&connection) == CONNECTION_ERROR_NONE)
{
    if(connection_get_type(connection, &type) != CONNECTION_ERROR_NONE){
        if(type == CONNECTION_TYPE_WIFI || type == CONNECTION_TYPE_CELLULAR){
            LOGI("connection is available);
            internet_available = true;
        } else {
            LOGI("connection is not available);
            internet_available = false;
        }
    }
    connection_destroy(connection);
}

Hello,
Please correct the code, it has wrong condition:

AS-IS:

    if(connection_get_type(connection, &type) != CONNECTION_ERROR_NONE){

TO-BE:

    if(connection_get_type(connection, &type) == CONNECTION_ERROR_NONE){
