Android API-23: InetAddressUtils replacement

Question

Switching to Android Marshmallow API, I was using org.apache.http.conn.util.InetAddressUtils for InetAddressUtils.isIPv4Address(ipAddress) in a cod

Answer 1

Like I interprete from the comments you can replace that function with this comparison:

inetAddress instanceof Inet4Address

so your code would end in:

if(!inetAddress.isLoopbackAddress() && inetAddress instanceof Inet4Address) {

Update from 2020
Keep in mind that your user can also have IPv6 enabled. In that case you need to check for Inet6Address too.
