I'm building an app on android but I have a problem with this

InetAddress.getByName(ipAddres).getHostName() return ip Addres

Java

InetAddress.getByName(IpAddres).getHostName() return hostname

so why on android the same code gives the ip address and not the hostname, I need the hostname

check your DNS server, had a similar issue. I installed and configured dnsmasq and was able to get the hostnames from ip addresses
