Hello Supporters i am working on my app which gets WiFi Mac address from user.This working file until Android 6.0 is come into market. Now i get Mac like 02:00:00 and so on.. I am also using below method to get Wifi mac but it returns same for all devices. I want to register in my app on basis of mac. Now what should i take from android devices that is unique from one another is it Ip address or something else please suggest. Thank you.
public static String getMacAddr() {
try {
List<NetworkInterface> all = Collections.list(NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces());
for (NetworkInterface nif : all) {
if (!nif.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("wlan0")) continue;
byte[] macBytes = nif.getHardwareAddress();
if (macBytes == null) {
return "";
}
StringBuilder res1 = new StringBuilder();
for (byte b : macBytes) {
res1.append(String.format("%02X:",b));
}
if (res1.length() > 0) {
res1.deleteCharAt(res1.length() - 1);
}
return res1.toString();
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
}
return "02:00:00:00:00:00";}
I solve the problem the above thanks to Daniel is correct:
public static String getMacAddr() {
try {
List<NetworkInterface> all = Collections.list(NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces());
for (NetworkInterface nif : all) {
if (!nif.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("wlan0")) continue; //instead of wlan0 i used eth0
byte[] macBytes = nif.getHardwareAddress();
if (macBytes == null) {
return "";
}
StringBuilder res1 = new StringBuilder();
for (byte b : macBytes) {
res1.append(String.format("%02X:",b));
}
if (res1.length() > 0) {
res1.deleteCharAt(res1.length() - 1);
}
return res1.toString();
}} catch (Exception ex) {
}`return "02:00:00:00:00:00";}
The issue is in Android Media Box(TV's) we should use "eth0" instead of "wlan0" and in mobile devices above 6 we should use "wlan0". Thank you.
