How to get IP address of the device from code?

Is it possib开发者_如何转开发le to get the IP address of the device using some code?

---

This is my helper util to read IP and MAC addresses. Implementation is pure-java, but I have a comment block in getMACAddress() which could read the value from the special Linux(Android) file. I've run this code only on few devices and Emulator but let me know here if you find weird results.

// AndroidManifest.xml permissions
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

// test functions
Utils.getMACAddress("wlan0");
Utils.getMACAddress("eth0");
Utils.getIPAddress(true); // IPv4
Utils.getIPAddress(false); // IPv6

With permission ACCESS_WIFI_STATE declared in AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission
    android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>

One can use the WifiManager to obtain the IP address:

Context context = requireContext().getApplicationContext();
WifiManager wm = (WifiManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
String ip = Formatter.formatIpAddress(wm.getConnectionInfo().getIpAddress());

---

public static String getLocalIpAddress() {
    try {
        for (Enumeration<NetworkInterface> en = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces(); en.hasMoreElements();) {
            NetworkInterface intf = en.nextElement();
            for (Enumeration<InetAddress> enumIpAddr = intf.getInetAddresses(); enumIpAddr.hasMoreElements();) {
                InetAddress inetAddress = enumIpAddr.nextElement();
                if (!inetAddress.isLoopbackAddress() && inetAddress instanceof Inet4Address) {
                    return inetAddress.getHostAddress();
                }
            }
        }
    } catch (SocketException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;
}

I've added inetAddress instanceof Inet4Address to check if it is a ipv4 address.

I used following code: The reason I used hashCode was because I was getting some garbage values appended to the ip address when I used getHostAddress . But hashCode worked really well for me as then I can use Formatter to get the ip address with correct formatting.

Here is the example output :

1.using getHostAddress : ***** IP=fe80::65ca:a13d:ea5a:233d%rmnet_sdio0

2.using hashCode and Formatter : ***** IP=238.194.77.212

As you can see 2nd methods gives me exactly what I need.

public String getLocalIpAddress() {
    try {
        for (Enumeration<NetworkInterface> en = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces(); en.hasMoreElements();) {
            NetworkInterface intf = en.nextElement();
            for (Enumeration<InetAddress> enumIpAddr = intf.getInetAddresses(); enumIpAddr.hasMoreElements();) {
                InetAddress inetAddress = enumIpAddr.nextElement();
                if (!inetAddress.isLoopbackAddress()) {
                    String ip = Formatter.formatIpAddress(inetAddress.hashCode());
                    Log.i(TAG, "***** IP="+ ip);
                    return ip;
                }
            }
        }
    } catch (SocketException ex) {
        Log.e(TAG, ex.toString());
    }
    return null;
}

Though there's a correct answer, I share my answer here and hope that this way will more convenience.

WifiManager wifiMan = (WifiManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
WifiInfo wifiInf = wifiMan.getConnectionInfo();
int ipAddress = wifiInf.getIpAddress();
String ip = String.format("%d.%d.%d.%d", (ipAddress & 0xff),(ipAddress >> 8 & 0xff),(ipAddress >> 16 & 0xff),(ipAddress >> 24 & 0xff));

Below code might help you.. Don't forget to add permissions..

public String getLocalIpAddress(){
   try {
       for (Enumeration<NetworkInterface> en = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces();  
       en.hasMoreElements();) {
       NetworkInterface intf = en.nextElement();
           for (Enumeration<InetAddress> enumIpAddr = intf.getInetAddresses(); enumIpAddr.hasMoreElements();) {
           InetAddress inetAddress = enumIpAddr.nextElement();
                if (!inetAddress.isLoopbackAddress()) {
                return inetAddress.getHostAddress();
                }
           }
       }
       } catch (Exception ex) {
          Log.e("IP Address", ex.toString());
      }
      return null;
}

Add below permission in the manifest file.

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

happy coding!!

kotlin minimalist version

fun getIpv4HostAddress(): String {
    NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces()?.toList()?.map { networkInterface ->
        networkInterface.inetAddresses?.toList()?.find {
            !it.isLoopbackAddress && it is Inet4Address
        }?.let { return it.hostAddress }
    }
    return ""
}

You do not need to add permissions like what is the case with the solutions provided so far. Download this website as a string:

http://www.ip-api.com/json

or

http://www.telize.com/geoip

Downloading a website as a string can be done with java code:

http://www.itcuties.com/java/read-url-to-string/

Parse the JSON object like this:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/18998203/1987258

The json attribute "query" or "ip" contains the IP address.

In your activity, the following function getIpAddress(context) returns the phone's IP address:

public static String getIpAddress(Context context) {
    WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) context.getApplicationContext()
                .getSystemService(WIFI_SERVICE);

    String ipAddress = intToInetAddress(wifiManager.getDhcpInfo().ipAddress).toString();

    ipAddress = ipAddress.substring(1);

    return ipAddress;
}

public static InetAddress intToInetAddress(int hostAddress) {
    byte[] addressBytes = { (byte)(0xff & hostAddress),
                (byte)(0xff & (hostAddress >> 8)),
                (byte)(0xff & (hostAddress >> 16)),
                (byte)(0xff & (hostAddress >> 24)) };

    try {
        return InetAddress.getByAddress(addressBytes);
    } catch (UnknownHostException e) {
        throw new AssertionError();
    }
}

This is a rework of this answer which strips out irrelevant information, adds helpful comments, names variables more clearly, and improves the logic.

Don't forget to include the following permissions:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

You can use LinkProperties. It's recommended for new Android versions.

This function retrieves local IP address for both WiFi and Mobile Data. It requires Manifest.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permission.

@Nullable
public static String getDeviceIpAddress(@NonNull ConnectivityManager connectivityManager) {
    LinkProperties linkProperties = connectivityManager.getLinkProperties(connectivityManager.getActiveNetwork());
    InetAddress inetAddress;
    for(LinkAddress linkAddress : linkProperties.getLinkAddresses()) {
        inetAddress = linkAddress.getAddress();
        if (inetAddress instanceof Inet4Address
                && !inetAddress.isLoopbackAddress()
                && inetAddress.isSiteLocalAddress()) {
            return inetAddress.getHostAddress();
        }
    }
    return null;
}

Recently, an IP address is still returned by getLocalIpAddress() despite being disconnected from the network (no service indicator). It means the IP address displayed in the Settings> About phone> Status was different from what the application thought.

I have implemented a workaround by adding this code before:

ConnectivityManager cm = getConnectivityManager();
NetworkInfo net = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
if ((null == net) || !net.isConnectedOrConnecting()) {
    return null;
}

Does that ring a bell to anyone?

Simply use Volley to get the ip from this site

RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);    
String urlip = "http://checkip.amazonaws.com/";

    StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.GET, urlip, new Response.Listener<String>() {
        @Override
        public void onResponse(String response) {
            txtIP.setText(response);

        }
    }, new Response.ErrorListener() {
        @Override
        public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
            txtIP.setText("didnt work");
        }
    });

    queue.add(stringRequest);

in Kotlin, without Formatter

A device might have several IP addresses, and the one in use in a particular app might not be the IP that servers receiving the request will see. Indeed, some users use a VPN or a proxy such as Cloudflare Warp.

If your purpose is to get the IP address as shown by servers that receive requests from your device, then the best is to query an IP geolocation service such as Ipregistry (disclaimer: I work for the company) with its Java client:

https://github.com/ipregistry/ipregistry-java

IpregistryClient client = new IpregistryClient("tryout");
RequesterIpInfo requesterIpInfo = client.lookup();
requesterIpInfo.getIp();

In addition to being really simple to use, you get additional information such as country, language, currency, the time zone for the device IP and you can identify whether the user is using a proxy.

This is the easiest and simple way ever exist on the internet... First of all, add this permission to your manifest file...

1. "INTERNET"

2. "ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"

add this in onCreate file of Activity..

    getPublicIP();

Now Add this function to your MainActivity.class.

    private void getPublicIP() {
ArrayList<String> urls=new ArrayList<String>(); //to read each line

        new Thread(new Runnable(){
            public void run(){
                //TextView t; //to show the result, please declare and find it inside onCreate()

                try {
                    // Create a URL for the desired page
                    URL url = new URL("https://api.ipify.org/"); //My text file location
                    //First open the connection
                    HttpURLConnection conn=(HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
                    conn.setConnectTimeout(60000); // timing out in a minute

                    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));

                    //t=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.TextView1); // ideally do this in onCreate()
                    String str;
                    while ((str = in.readLine()) != null) {
                        urls.add(str);
                    }
                    in.close();
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    Log.d("MyTag",e.toString());
                }

                //since we are in background thread, to post results we have to go back to ui thread. do the following for that

                PermissionsActivity.this.runOnUiThread(new Runnable(){
                    public void run(){
                        try {
                            Toast.makeText(PermissionsActivity.this, "Public IP:"+urls.get(0), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        }
                        catch (Exception e){
                            Toast.makeText(PermissionsActivity.this, "TurnOn wiffi to get public ip", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        }
                    }
                });

            }
        }).start();

    }

Here is kotlin version of @Nilesh and @anargund

  fun getIpAddress(): String {
    var ip = ""
    try {
        val wm = applicationContext.getSystemService(WIFI_SERVICE) as WifiManager
        ip = Formatter.formatIpAddress(wm.connectionInfo.ipAddress)
    } catch (e: java.lang.Exception) {

    }

    if (ip.isEmpty()) {
        try {
            val en = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces()
            while (en.hasMoreElements()) {
                val networkInterface = en.nextElement()
                val enumIpAddr = networkInterface.inetAddresses
                while (enumIpAddr.hasMoreElements()) {
                    val inetAddress = enumIpAddr.nextElement()
                    if (!inetAddress.isLoopbackAddress && inetAddress is Inet4Address) {
                        val host = inetAddress.getHostAddress()
                        if (host.isNotEmpty()) {
                            ip =  host
                            break;
                        }
                    }
                }

            }
        } catch (e: java.lang.Exception) {

        }
    }

   if (ip.isEmpty())
      ip = "127.0.0.1"
    return ip
}

Compiling some of the ideas to get the wifi ip from the WifiManager in a nicer kotlin solution:

private fun getWifiIp(context: Context): String? {
  return context.getSystemService<WifiManager>().let {
     when {
      it == null -> "No wifi available"
      !it.isWifiEnabled -> "Wifi is disabled"
      it.connectionInfo == null -> "Wifi not connected"
      else -> {
        val ip = it.connectionInfo.ipAddress
        ((ip and 0xFF).toString() + "." + (ip shr 8 and 0xFF) + "." + (ip shr 16 and 0xFF) + "." + (ip shr 24 and 0xFF))
      }
    }
  }
}

Alternatively you can get the ip adresses of ip4 loopback devices via the NetworkInterface:

fun getNetworkIp4LoopbackIps(): Map<String, String> = try {
  NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces()
    .asSequence()
    .associate { it.displayName to it.ip4LoopbackIps() }
    .filterValues { it.isNotEmpty() }
} catch (ex: Exception) {
  emptyMap()
}

private fun NetworkInterface.ip4LoopbackIps() =
  inetAddresses.asSequence()
    .filter { !it.isLoopbackAddress && it is Inet4Address }
    .map { it.hostAddress }
    .filter { it.isNotEmpty() }
    .joinToString()

---

Blockquote // get Device Ip Address

open fun getLocalIpAddress(): String? {
    try {
        val en: Enumeration<NetworkInterface> = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces()
        while (en.hasMoreElements()) {
            val networkInterface: NetworkInterface = en.nextElement()
            val enumerationIpAddress: Enumeration<InetAddress> = networkInterface.inetAddresses
            while (enumerationIpAddress.hasMoreElements()) {
                val inetAddress: InetAddress = enumerationIpAddress.nextElement()
                if (!inetAddress.isLoopbackAddress && inetAddress is Inet4Address) {
                    return inetAddress.getHostAddress()
                }
            }
        }
    } catch (ex: SocketException) {
        ex.printStackTrace()
    }
    return null
}

If you have a shell ; ifconfig eth0 worked for x86 device too

Please check this code...Using this code. we will get ip from mobile internet...

for (Enumeration<NetworkInterface> en = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces(); en.hasMoreElements(); ) {
                NetworkInterface intf = en.nextElement();
                for (Enumeration<InetAddress> enumIpAddr = intf.getInetAddresses(); enumIpAddr.hasMoreElements(); ) {
                    InetAddress inetAddress = enumIpAddr.nextElement();
                    if (!inetAddress.isLoopbackAddress()) {
                        return inetAddress.getHostAddress().toString();
                    }
                }
            }

I don't do Android, but I'd tackle this in a totally different way.

Send a query to Google, something like: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=my%20ip

And refer to the HTML field where the response is posted. You may also query directly to the source.

Google will most like be there for longer than your Application.

Just remember, it could be that your user does not have internet at this time, what would you like to happen !

Good Luck

You can do this

String stringUrl = "https://ipinfo.io/ip";
//String stringUrl = "http://whatismyip.akamai.com/";
// Instantiate the RequestQueue.
RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(MainActivity.instance);
//String url ="http://www.google.com";

// Request a string response from the provided URL.
StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.GET, stringUrl,
        new Response.Listener<String>() {
            @Override
            public void onResponse(String response) {
                // Display the first 500 characters of the response string.
                Log.e(MGLogTag, "GET IP : " + response);

            }
        }, new Response.ErrorListener() {
    @Override
    public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
        IP = "That didn't work!";
    }
});

// Add the request to the RequestQueue.
queue.add(stringRequest);

 //    @NonNull
    public static String getIPAddress() {
        if (TextUtils.isEmpty(deviceIpAddress))
            new PublicIPAddress().execute();
        return deviceIpAddress;
    }

    public static String deviceIpAddress = "";

    public static class PublicIPAddress extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
        InetAddress localhost = null;

        protected String doInBackground(String... urls) {
            try {
                localhost = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
                URL url_name = new URL("http://bot.whatismyipaddress.com");
                BufferedReader sc = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url_name.openStream()));
                deviceIpAddress = sc.readLine().trim();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                deviceIpAddress = "";
            }
            return deviceIpAddress;
        }

        protected void onPostExecute(String string) {
            Lg.d("deviceIpAddress", string);
        }
    }

In all honesty I am only a little familiar with code safety, so this may be hack-ish. But for me this is the most versatile way to do it:

package com.my_objects.ip;

import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.UnknownHostException;

public class MyIpByHost 
{
  public static void main(String a[])
  {
   try 
    {
      InetAddress host = InetAddress.getByName("nameOfDevice or webAddress");
      System.out.println(host.getHostAddress());
    } 
   catch (UnknownHostException e) 
    {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
} }

For kotlin language.

fun contextIP(context: Context): String {
    val wm: WifiManager = context.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE) as WifiManager
    return Formatter.formatIpAddress(wm.connectionInfo.ipAddress)
}
