Public Methods

public static Inet6Address getByAddress (String host, byte[] addr, NetworkInterface nif)

Since: API Level 1

Gets an IPv6 address instance according to the given host, addr and nif. scope_id is set according to the given nif and the addr type (for example site-local or link-local).

Parameters

host	the hostname associated with the address.
addr	the network address.
nif	the network interface that this address is associated with.

Returns

the Inet6Address instance representing the IP address.

Throws

UnknownHostException	if the address is `null` or has an invalid length or the interface doesn't have a numeric scope id for the given address type.

public static Inet6Address getByAddress (String host, byte[] addr, int scope_id)

Since: API Level 1

Parameters

host	the host name associated with the address.
addr	the network address.
scope_id	the scope id for link- or site-local addresses.

Returns

the Inet6Address instance representing the IP address.

Throws

UnknownHostException	if the address is null or has an invalid length.
