Does the Android Device Emulator have a MAC Address?

Question

I wrote the following code to get the MAC address:

WifiManager wimanager = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
String address = wimanager.getConnectionInfo().getMacAddress();
Log.d("TOKEN", address);

This works perfectly on my phone, but in the Android emulator it returns null. Is this because the Android emulator doesn't have a MAC address?

Answer 1

It's the same as when you try getting a hold of the bluetooth stuff on the emulator. There is no MacAdress and should return null. Try on a real device and it will work. The code is correct.
