I used the code snippet :

public String getLocalIpAddress() {
try {
for (Enumeration en = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces(); en.hasMoreElements();) {
NetworkInterface intf = en.nextElement();
for (Enumeration enumIpAddr = intf.getInetAddresses(); enumIpAddr.hasMoreElements();) {
InetAddress inetAddress = enumIpAddr.nextElement();
if (!inetAddress.isLoopbackAddress()) {
return inetAddress.getHostAddress().toString();
}
}
}
} catch (SocketException ex) {
Log.e("Exception", ex.toString());
}
return null;
}
As I was getting the IP address as 0.

It seems that's a server.Start() is missing. I put that line after creating the MyHTTPD server variable.

Thanks for this example! The IP reported was 0.0.0.0. I had to use 127.0.0.1 to reach the server.

I wish to make an app that can control all the phones features using a web server. For example I wish to turn on the flash light by clicking a button on the webpage server by nanohttpd. How can this be accompilished?

@aswinpj Could you able to make that? In my case server is killed by Android OS after a while.
