How to get the Android Emulator's IP address?


This example demonstrates how do I get the Android Emulator’s IP address.

Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.

Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   tools:context=".MainActivity">
   <TextView
      android:textSize="16sp"
      android:textStyle="bold"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:id="@+id/textView"
      android:layout_centerInParent="true"/>
   <Button
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:id="@+id/btnGetIPAddress"
      android:text="Get IP Address"
      android:layout_below="@id/textView"
      android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
      android:layout_centerInParent="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>

Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.net.wifi.WifiManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.text.format.Formatter;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
   Button button;
   TextView textview;
   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
      textview = findViewById(R.id.textView);
      button = findViewById(R.id.btnGetIPAddress);
      button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
         @Override
         public void onClick(View v) {
            GetIPAddress();
         }
      });
   }
   private void GetIPAddress() {
      WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(WIFI_SERVICE); assert wifiManager != null;
      String ip = Formatter.formatIpAddress(wifiManager.getConnectionInfo().getIpAddress());
      textview.setText(String.format("IP Address: %s", ip));
   }
}

Step 4 − Add the following code to androidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   package="app.com.sample">
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
   <application
      android:allowBackup="true"
      android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
      android:supportsRtl="true"
      android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
      <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
         <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
         </intent-filter>
      </activity>
   </application>
</manifest>
