list of DNS servers

[wasabee18]

Hi all,

how can I get the list of DNS servers used by the phone? for WiFi?
GPRS/3G?
my initial guess is to get /etc/resolv.conf but it is not present on
the device, neither is it on the emulator.

Thanks for your advice.

Cheers.

For WIFI  http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/WifiManager.html#getDhcpInfo()  can be used to get dns servers.

Hi Suresh,

thanks for your reply.
I would like to get the DNS server list in native code, without
calling back into java...
Any ideas?

Cheers.

Try executing this "getprop net.dns1" and get the output.

You can probably use popen or send the output to a file (eg: getprop
net.dns1 > dns.txt) and then read the file dns.txt.

That would be incredibly complex, when <sys/system_properties.h> provides you with a function (__system_property_get) to read a system property directly from your native code :-)

Would you mind posting a sample code? Right now I am using what I
posted and doing it your way would be much better :)
