difficulty in getting remote ip address from socket in java/android

Question

I have a server socket in my android app and the following lines (listening/waiting for a connection):

rclient = serverSocket.accept();
String stt=rclient.getInetAddress().getHostAddress();

I get this : ::1

Can anyone kindly tell me whats my mistake here ?

I have also tried getRemoteSocketAddress, However, that also gives some crap output./::1/::0142342 ...

thanks.

It would help an awful lot if you told us the actual output you got. — David Schwartz

You are getting correct outputs. It's not clear why you think they're "crap output". They are in fact the correct IP addresses. ::1 is a valid IP address, it is the IPv6 address assigned to the loopback adapter.
