[android-developers] Re: Devices information using Wifi API
By listening some specific Intents, your program could get the connection info for WIFI. You may need to investigate some code of the wifi setting. 2009/10/21 Roman ( T-Mobile USA) roman.baumgaert...@t-mobile.com If you want to get valid IP address you can try to enumerate over your LAN addresses. If your LAN network has an IP address like 192.168.1.0 you can try to ping192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2, ... If you get a response back, you know that there is another system which has the IP address assigned. Of course this is not the most efficient mechanism and might not be successful in all cases (clients in the network might not respond to ping) but it's a possibility ... With the usage of some linux commands like netstat you should be able to get also the corresponding MAC addresses of the IP addresses. -- Roman Baumgaertner Sr. SW Engineer-OSDC ·T· · ·Mobile· stick together The views, opinions and statements in this email are those of the author solely in their individual capacity, and do not necessarily represent those of T-Mobile USA, Inc.

What you want to do isn't possible using any standard mechanism. You could open an HTTP connection to the admin console of the access point (eg, 192.168.0.1) and pull the information out of there, but you would need to know the username/password of the admin console as well as what page the information you want is located on. You would also need to parse the information out of the HTML yourself. Basically if this is something you are creating for a specific WiFi AP that you control, then you could do it. Otherwise, you can't. On Oct 20, 9:35 am, sd swarup.do...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I want to get the information of the devices that are connected to a Wifi Access point.
