How to set the Gateway and Netmask of Ethernet in Android 4.4.3

erickang — Mon, 03 Aug 2015 02:52:36 GMT

Hi All,

I want to set the Gateway and Netmask of Ethernet in Android 4.4.3.

Could you tell me how to set those?

Our development environment is like below,

- AP/Board : i.MX6DL-SabreSDP

- OS : Android 4.4.3 (Linux 3.10.53)

I could confirm the method how to apply IP and DNS from Ethernet App in packages/apps/fsl_imx_demo,

But I couldn't find how to set the Gateway and Netmask of Ethernet.

Best Regards,

Eric.

Hello, Eric !

Android networking is property based and is available through getprop / setprop commands.

Also standard Linux utilities ifconfig and route are still available.

Have You tried it ?

$ ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.151 255.255.255.0

$ route add default gw 192.168.1.1 dev eth0

$ setprop net.eth0.dns1 8.8.8.8

Have a great day,
Yuri

Hi Yuri,

Thanks for your response.

I used the below command to set the Ethernet Configuration.

~$ ipconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0

~$ route add default gw yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy dev eth0

But I couldn't find the ethernet.apk to set those.

Best Regards,

Eric.

We do not provide .apk, sorry.

Nevertheless, You may look at How to Add Ethernet UI Support in ICS

Yuri.
