Get android Ethernet MAC Address (not wifi interface)
Assuming your ethernet interface is eth0, try opening and reading the file /sys/class/net/eth0/address
.
This is my solution based on the Joel F answer. Hope it helps someone!
/*
* Load file content to String
*/
public static String loadFileAsString(String filePath) throws java.io.IOException{
StringBuffer fileData = new StringBuffer(1000);
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(filePath));
char[] buf = new char[1024];
int numRead=0;
while((numRead=reader.read(buf)) != -1){
String readData = String.valueOf(buf, 0, numRead);
fileData.append(readData);
}
reader.close();
return fileData.toString();
}
/*
* Get the STB MacAddress
*/
public String getMacAddress(){
try {
return loadFileAsString("/sys/class/net/eth0/address")
.toUpperCase().substring(0, 17);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
}
this way to use java fix it; maybe can help you
NetworkInterface netf = NetworkInterface.getByName("eth0");
byte[] array = netf.getHardwareAddress();
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder("");
String str = "";
for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
int v = array[i] & 0xFF;
String hv = Integer.toHexString(v).toUpperCase();
if (hv.length() < 2) {
stringBuilder.append(0);
}
stringBuilder.append(hv).append("-");
}
str = stringBuilder.substring(0, stringBuilder.length()- 1);
Check also /sys/class/efuse/mac at least on Amlogic platforms.
