Try out this code -

public String getLocalIpAddress() {
try {
    for (Enumeration<NetworkInterface> en = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces(); en.hasMoreElements();) {
        NetworkInterface intf = en.nextElement();
        for (Enumeration<InetAddress> enumIpAddr = intf.getInetAddresses(); enumIpAddr.hasMoreElements();) {
            InetAddress inetAddress = enumIpAddr.nextElement();
            if (!inetAddress.isLoopbackAddress()) {
                return inetAddress.getHostAddress().toString();
            }
        }
    }
} catch (SocketException ex) {
    Log.e(LOG_TAG, ex.toString());
}
return null;
}

WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) getSystemService(WIFI_SERVICE);
WifiInfo wifiInfo = wifiManager.getConnectionInfo();
int ip = wifiInfo.getIpAddress();
ipString = String.format( 
    "%d.%d.%d.%d", 
    (ip & 0xff), 
    (ip >> 8 & 0xff),
    (ip >> 16 & 0xff),
    (ip >> 24 & 0xff)
);

From this thread. Don't forget to have INTERNET permission in your AndroidManifest!

Hope this helps!

I think this requires ACCESS_WIFI_STATE permission. – guness Mar 30 '12 at 16:18
