How to get the Android Emulator's IP address using Kotlin?

This example demonstrates how to get the Android Emulator's IP address using Kotlin.

Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.

Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="https://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:tools="https://schemas.android.com/tools"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   tools:context=".MainActivity">
   <TextView
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
      android:layout_marginTop="70dp"
      android:background="#008080"
      android:padding="5dp"
      android:text="TutorialsPoint"
      android:textColor="#fff"
      android:textSize="24sp"
      android:textStyle="bold" />
   <TextView
      android:id="@+id/textView"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_centerInParent="true"
      android:textColor="@android:color/background_dark"
      android:textSize="16sp"
      android:textStyle="bold" />
   <Button
      android:id="@+id/btnGetIPAddress"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_below="@id/textView"
      android:layout_centerInParent="true"
      android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
      android:text="Get IP Address" />
</RelativeLayout>

Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.kt

import android.net.wifi.WifiManager
import android.os.Bundle
import android.widget.Button
import android.widget.TextView
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import android.text.format.Formatter
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
   lateinit var button: Button
   lateinit var textView: TextView
   override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
      title = "KotlinApp"
      textView = findViewById(R.id.textView)
      button = findViewById(R.id.btnGetIPAddress)
      button.setOnClickListener {
         val wifiManager: WifiManager = applicationContext.getSystemService(WIFI_SERVICE) as WifiManager
         val ip: String = Formatter.formatIpAddress(wifiManager.connectionInfo.ipAddress)
         textView.text = String.format("IP Address: %s", ip)
      }
   }
}

Step 4 − Add the following code to androidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="https://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.example.q11">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
   <application
      android:allowBackup="true"
      android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
      android:supportsRtl="true"
      android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
      <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
         <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
         </intent-filter>
      </activity>
   </application>
</manifest>

Let's try to run your application. I assume you have connected your actual Android Mobile device with your computer. To run the app from android studio, open one of your project's activity files and click the Run icon  from the toolbar. Select your mobile device as an option and then check your mobile device which will display your default screen.
