Question

Does anyone know the code to change an android phone’s eth0 IP address (InetAddress)?

(I know that from the command line I can do ifconfig eth0 new_ip_addr. But I’m asking about something that I can put into the source code.)

Answer 1

There’s a class called NetworkInterface but it lets you to retrieve the iface’s data. I would recommend using Runtime.exec("ifconfig".... NetworkInterface -> getDisplayName() and so on ) Here is some insight on how to write Runtime.exec() in the android’s environment — Runtime.exec() : Reboot in Android?
