Converting string to IP Address in java(android)

Question

When i convert string ("192.168.0.105") to InetAddress in java (android). I am getting "/192.168.0.105". An extra "/" is coming in InetAddress, which causes the socket not to be created.

How do i get rid of "/".

Answer 1

You can use getHostAddress() method of InetAddress to get host address without /.

And if you are using InetSocketAddress then use getAddress().getHostAddress() to get host ip without /.

InetAddress inetAddress = InetAddress.getByName("192.168.0.105");
System.out.println(inetAddress.getHostAddress());

InetSocketAddress address = new InetSocketAddress("192.168.0.105", 5555);
System.out.println(address.getAddress().getHostAddress());

Answer 2

myString = myString.replace("/", "");
