You can get the connected devices using the following code:

public void getListOfConnectedDevice() {
Thread thread = new Thread(new Runnable() {

    @Override
    public void run() {
        BufferedReader br = null;
        boolean isFirstLine = true;

        try {
            br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("/proc/net/arp"));
            String line;

            while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                if (isFirstLine) {
                    isFirstLine = false;
                    continue;
                }

                String[] splitted = line.split(" +");

                if (splitted != null && splitted.length >= 4) {

                    String ipAddress = splitted[0];
                    String macAddress = splitted[3];

                    boolean isReachable = InetAddress.getByName(
                            splitted[0]).isReachable(500);  // this is network call so we cant do that on UI thread, so i take background thread.
                    if (isReachable) {
                        Log.d("Device Information", ipAddress + " : "
                                + macAddress);
                    }

                }

            }

        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            try {
                br.close();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
});
thread.start();
}
