how to obtain the ip address of the connected wifi router in android programmatically?


I want to obtain the ip address of the the wifi router to which my android phone is connected? I know that we can get the mac/BSSId and SSID by using the android APIS but I don't find the way to find the way to find the ip address of it?

I found the code for obtaining the ip address of phone owns wifi router

WifiManager myWifiManager = (WifiManager) getSystemService(WIFI_SERVICE);
WifiInfo myWifiInfo = myWifiManager.getConnectionInfo();
int ipAddress = myWifiInfo.getIpAddress();
System.out.println("WiFi address is " + android.text.format.Formatter.formatIpAddress(ipAddress))

but failed to get what I want


Solution

  • What you likely want is DhcpInfo:

    final WifiManager manager = (WifiManager) super.getSystemService(WIFI_SERVICE);
    final DhcpInfo dhcp = manager.getDhcpInfo();
    final String address = Formatter.formatIpAddress(dhcp.gateway);
    

    This will yield the (formatted) gateway IP address, which should be what you're looking for.
