# Java Example - Get Local IP Address and Hostname
[ Java Example](#)
In Java, you can use the standard networking library to get the local IP address and hostname.
The following example demonstrates how to use the `getLocalHost` and `getLocalAddress()` methods of the `InetAddress` class to get the local hostname and IP address:
## Main.java File
import java.net.InetAddress; import java.net.UnknownHostException; public class NetworkInfo{public static void main(String[]args){try{// Get local host object InetAddress localHost = InetAddress.getLocalHost(); // Get hostname String hostName = localHost.getHostName(); System.out.println("Hostname: " + hostName); // Get IP address String hostAddress = localHost.getHostAddress(); System.out.println("IPAddress.: " + hostAddress); }catch(UnknownHostException e){System.err.println("Unable to get local IP address.andHostname: " + e.getMessage()); e.printStackTrace(); }}}
### Explanation
* `InetAddress.getLocalHost()`: Gets the `InetAddress` object representing the local host.
* `getHostName()`: Gets the hostname of the local host.
* `getHostAddress()`: Gets the IP address of the local host.
### Exception Handling
* `UnknownHostException`: Thrown when the local hostname or IP address cannot be determined.
The output of the above code is:
Hostname: your-hostname IPAddress.: 192.168.1.2
