I want to check if a specific device is connected to my network or not. I have the ip address of that device. I am unable to find a way to ping that device using flutter app. The goal here is to check if a particular device is connected to local network or not by pinging the device. Can you help?

Use this,
import 'dart:io';
Socket.connect(IPADDR, PORT, timeout: Duration(seconds: 5)).then((socket){
print("Success");
socket.destroy();
}).catchError((error){
print("Exception on Socket "+error.toString());
});

There is a package available called dart_ping which allows you to ping IPs, but it hasn't been updated in some time.
Alternatively there is a package called ping_discover_network that allows you to explore that network that your device is in. I haven't personally experimented with this one.
I've done some experiments with other packages to try to reproduce pinging, but the best result has been with the `dart_ping´ package:
import 'package:dart_ping/dart_ping.dart';
var pings = await ping('google.pl');
pings.listen((ping) {
print(ping.time.inMilliseconds);
});
