I need to find my external IP address form within my Android app. InetAddress.getHostAddress() returns the local network IP address.

I was thinking of something similar to whoamI but can't figure a way to do it short of using and then parsing one of the whoamI sites.

Is there a simpler way?

You need to call an external service. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6308000/determine-device-public-ip – tobifasc Nov 30 '22 at 12:47
you cannot do this just on your own. – Marcin Orlowski Nov 30 '22 at 12:48
