Ping local IP in Android studio

I'm trying to develop a method that checks if an IP direction is reachable and I found a similar question but it doesn't work Android Application Ping IP number

private void existePingServidor(){
    InetAddress in;
       try{
            in = InetAddress.getByName("90.0.0.122");

       if (in.isReachable(5000)){
           pingServidor = true;
           Log.v("true","He pasado por aquí");
       }
       else
           pingServidor = false;
       Log.v("false", "No he podido alcanzar la ip");

    }

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

The problem seems that InetAddress.getByName("90.0.0.122"); returns null

¿Can you explain me what is the proper way to ping a Ip in android studio please?

Try getByAddress instead:

    byte [] ip = {90, 0, 0, 122};
    addr = InetAddress.getByAddress(ip);
    addr.isReachable(5000);
