I am using wifiManager.startLocalOnlyHotspot to start a hotspot with no internet access so that the connecting device can send files to this device using sockets. Everything is working as expected but I am not able to ping the connected wifi hotspot device when the mobile data of the same device which is pinging is on. When I disable the mobile data I am able to ping to the server IP I get from the utility class I am posting that utility method. Can anyone explain to me the concept I am missing?
public static String getHotspotIpAddress(Context context) {
WifiManager wifimanager = (WifiManager) context.getApplicationContext().getSystemService(WIFI_SERVICE);
DhcpInfo dhcpInfo = wifimanager == null ? null : wifimanager.getDhcpInfo();
if (dhcpInfo != null) {
int address = dhcpInfo.serverAddress;
return ((address & 0xFF)
+ "." + ((address >> 8) & 0xFF)
+ "." + ((address >> 16) & 0xFF)
+ "." + ((address >> 24) & 0xFF));
}
return "";
}
from Not able to ping device which started the LocalOnlyHotSpot when mobile data is on
