public static String getipAddress() { 
            try {
                for (Enumeration en = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces(); en.hasMoreElements();) {
                    NetworkInterface intf = en.nextElement();
                    for (Enumeration enumIpAddr = intf.getInetAddresses(); enumIpAddr.hasMoreElements();) {
                        InetAddress inetAddress = enumIpAddr.nextElement();
                        if (!inetAddress.isLoopbackAddress()) {
                            String ipaddress=inetAddress.getHostAddress().toString();
                            Log.e("ip address",""+ipaddress);
                            return ipaddress;
                        }
                    }
                }
            } catch (SocketException ex) {
                Log.e("Socket exception in GetIP Address of Utilities", ex.toString());
            }
            return null; 
    }

Also add in mainfest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

Am getting casting error at two places: `NetworkInterface intf = **(NetworkInterface)** en.nextElement();` `InetAddress inetAddress = **(InetAddress)** enumIpAddr.nextElement();` — user2129794, Mar 08 '13 at 18:43
