You can use netstat -rn command which is available on Windows, OSX, Linux, etc platform. Here is my code:

private String getDefaultAddress() {
        String defaultAddress = "";
        try {
            Process result = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("netstat -rn");

            BufferedReader output = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                    result.getInputStream()));

            String line = output.readLine();
            while (line != null) {
                if (line.contains("0.0.0.0")) {

                    StringTokenizer stringTokenizer = new StringTokenizer(line);
                    stringTokenizer.nextElement(); // first element is 0.0.0.0
                    stringTokenizer.nextElement(); // second element is 0.0.0.0
                    defaultAddress = (String) stringTokenizer.nextElement();
                    break;
                }

                line = output.readLine();

            } // while
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return defaultAddress;

} // getDefaultAddress
