good

good.

For work in sdk > 23 change
from

boolean isIPv4 = InetAddressUtils.isIPv4Address(sAddr);

to

boolean isIPv4 = addr instanceof Inet4Address;

Hey! the method that you use in Utils.java works even when the device is not connected to wifi right? and do you know if i use this function at the moment to upload the app to Play Store maybe Google gets angry? i mean that function requires any special permission? TY
