Retrieve IP address in Android

[Alf Stockton]

I have created the attached html which all works as expected except that the IP address does not display. I have installed the plugin.
Please tell me where I have gone wrong.

IT does not look like your plugin is installed.  There should be a link for networkinterface.js on your web page.

[Alf Stockton]

It is installed & works sometimes but not consistently.

Care to share your config.xml? And which version(s) of plugin(s) you are using?

[Alf Stockton]

I hope that the following sheds more light on my problem.
cordova -v
5.3.1
alf@debian:~/Develop/cordova/AlfGD$ cordova plugins ls
com.pylonproducts.wifiwizard 0.2.9 "WifiWizard"
cordova-plugin-network-information 1.2.0 "Network Information"
cordova-plugin-networkinterface 1.0.8 "NetworkInterface"
cordova-plugin-websocket 0.9.2 "WebSocket for Android"
cordova-plugin-whitelist 1.0.0 "Whitelist"

Have you added the link for networkinterface.js to your Html file?  Your file attachment in your original message did not have it.  You will not be able to call the js functions for the plugin without it.

[Alf Stockton]

I have now added that .js, see the attached, but fail to understand why

 it previously would work sometimes but not everytime.

On testing including that js made no difference as it is still unreliable.

Adding
setTimeout(NetworkIP, 500);

seems to have done the trick but will carry on testing.

Enter code here..At least based on your attached sample page, you are not waiting for deviceready event. Your setTimeout effectively does that because it throws your js function on the stack after the rest of scripts run.  But you would probably be better off properly using deviceready:
