How do I output my ip address as a string?

Question

I have been using InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress(), how would I get this as a string?

the getHostAddress() returns String value. Then else do you need to be in String format? — Ankur Shanbhag, Apr 19 '13 at 19:09

To output an ip as string, from Justin Waugh's answer:

Simply call InetAddress.getByName(String host) passing in your textual IP address.

From the javadoc: The host name can either be a machine name, such as "java.sun.com", or a textual representation of its IP address.

InetAddress javadoc

Or use InetAddress.getHostAddress() as Nambari suggested.
