PING (ICMP protocol) not supported ?

[petselas]

Hi,

Congrats for the great job 1st of all!
I use it in a test app and when trying to ping the packets seems not created.
Should I implement the packet creation for ICMP protocol ?
or there is another work around ?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your interest in the app.

As far as I can tell, creating ICMP packets directly requires root access. Where this is available, we might as well use raw sockets for everything.

OK thanks a lot !

@hexene ICMP with android is allowed without root https://github.com/kirillF/icmp-android made a great example of it happening. It is however not possible to do with the java functions the system gives you. Requires C++ code to complete
