Overview

This Cordova plugin for Android is used to request the information of network such as ip address, network address and network mask.

Building for Android

This plugin must not depend on libraries only present in API 23+, so you don't need build using Android SDK Platform v23 or above. This removes the dependency on API 23 and will allow you to build against legacy API versions (22 and below). You can check the currently installed platform versions with the following command:

cordova platform ls

Installing

IMPORTANT: Note that the plugin will NOT work in a browser-emulated Cordova environment, for example by running cordova serve or using the Ripple emulator. This plugin is intended to launch native navigation apps and therefore will only work on native mobile platforms (i.e. Android).

Using the Cordova CLI

Create the cordova project

$ cordova create MiTV5 com.movistar.tvsindesco movistartv

Install Android platform

$ cd MiTV5
$ cordova platform add android

Install the plugin

$ cordova plugin add https://github.com/portizb/NetworkInfoPlugin.git

Building and running

To run an example project on Android using the Cordova CLI:

Build the code

cordova build android

Writing Plugin Tests

Edit www/js/index.js and add the following code inside onDeviceReady for test the plugin

    var success = function(message) {
        alert("ipAddress: " + message.ipAddress +  
              ", gatewayAddress: " + message.gatewayAddress +
              ", networkAddress: " + message.networkAddress +
              ", subnetMask: " + message.subnetMask);
    }

    var failure = function() {
        alert("Error calling Network Information Plugin");
    }

    netinfo.lookup(success, failure);

Run the code

cordova run android
