Ionic Usage

import { NetworkInterface } from '@ionic-native/network-interface/ngx';

constructor(public networkInterface:NetworkInterface){}

this.networkInterface.getWiFiIPAddress().then(address=>console.log(address));

console output

{"ip":"0.0.0.0","subnet":"0.0.0.0"}

Try to catch some error as the doc suggest:

this.networkInterface.getWiFiIPAddress()
	.then(address => console.info(`IP: ${address.ip}, Subnet: ${address.subnet}`))
	.catch(error => console.error(`Unable to get IP: ${error}`));

Do you get some error with this?

#3

Hi, Thanks for your message. No i don’t get any error. I get an error of course when there is no WiFi connected. Otherwise it just give 0 IP and Subnet.

#4

Are you using a IPv6 network?

#5

No the network is IPv4.

#6

For android I am using Hotspot, HotspotNetwork
plugin and it works good on the same Router/Network.

#7

Try to call the function inside the constructor, as the developer suggests in a GitHub issue.

Also, there is an issue similar to yours, you can keep track there.

#8

He Leanord, Thanks for the message.

I tried that. Still 0 IP. It works with other routers but not with that Huawei ones. Now I cant say there is something wrong with plugin also the router works fine with Android app.

Yes I saw that issue but because of inactivity i posted my own. Thanks for your help

@nomanshah I too was facing the same issue on my iPhone. when i check the native code and printed all the interfaces that it loops looks like this,
[
“lo0 :: 127.0.0.1”,
“lo0 :: 0.0.0.0”,
“lo0 :: 0.0.0.0”,
“en0 :: 0.0.0.0”,
“en0 :: 192.168.18.8”,
“en0 :: 0.0.0.0”,
"en0 :: 0.0.0.0",
“awdl0 :: 0.0.0.0”,
“utun0 :: 0.0.0.0”,
“utun1 :: 0.0.0.0”
]

Plugin is looping all the interfaces of en0 entries and returns the last en0 value to us which in my case it’s 0.0.0.0. i think you’re also facing this same issue.

I just modified the plugin code to stop updating the variable when en0 has some IP which is not equal to 0.0.0.0. and it worked for me.
