You will have to create a service that periodically checks your IP and display a message, notification, etc if the IP changes, read THIS to get an idea.

yes buddy... thats exactly what i thought of but.. imagine occupying processor time with continuously having to check when the IP changed. ... when actually all we would need is a raising of an event when the Network has come back.. or re established...???
do u get what im trying to find here... Is if theres any way in b4a for us to get that state_change_in_network? ?? possible? ? any idea??... and yeah obviously use it in a service

Well, you still will have to keep checking for a change, besides, you are going to be using that while coding so, just plug your device to your charger or USB to keep the juice flowing and regarding processor time, it will be just one more service running along the tons running in your device, why worry?

There's a way to detect if you are connected to WiFi or 3G/4G (search the forums if you want more info), but in either case the IP will change, so, checking for a different IP will do the trick.
