We got IP addresses of all connected devices under network by using the isReachable() method. (We are checking each IP manually by this method.)

We are intending to get the device name which we assign initially to our android device.

Is there any way of doing it by using Inetaddress?

I think you can send a socket to it and get the device name by the socket. – Zach Bublil Apr 12 '16 at 08:59
