InetAddress cannot be resolved to a type

Question

I'm using the following code to check if the provided ip is reachable in java.

public String isNetworkReachable(){
        int timeout = 2000;
        String status = "SUCCESS";
        try {
            InetAddress address = InetAddress.getByAddress("10.2.240.74".getBytes());

            if(!address.isReachable(timeout)){
                status = "ERROR";
            }

        } catch (UnknownHostException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return status;

    }

WhenI run the code, I get an error saying

java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems: 
InetAddress cannot be resolved to a type
InetAddress cannot be resolved
InetAddress cannot be resolved to a type

What have I done wrong here. Please help!

Answer 1

1) import java.net.InetAddress

2) Modify function isNetworkReachable() slightly:

public static String isNetworkReachable(){
    int timeout = 2000;
    String status = "ERROR";
    try {
        InetAddress address = InetAddress.getByName("10.2.240.74");

        if(address.isReachable(timeout)){
            status = "SUCCESS";
        }

    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return status;

}
