How to get the client device details which is connected to wifi hotspot?

Question

I am connecting different devices with wifi hotspot AP programatically in my android app, How can i detect the clients being connected and disconnected and to the wifi hotspot AP Programmatically ? Is there any callback event in Android API to give information regarding the connection or disconnection events of individual devices ? Thanks in advance.

This method works for me but this is detecting only version 4.0 and above; it is not able to find the devices with version 2.2 or 2.3 which is connected with hotspot.

public void getClientList() {
    int macCount = 0;
    BufferedReader br = null;
    try {
        br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("/proc/net/arp"));
        String line;
        while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
            String[] splitted = line.split(" +");
            if (splitted != null ) {
                // Basic sanity check
                String mac = splitted[3];
                System.out.println("Mac : Outside If "+ mac );
                if (mac.matches("..:..:..:..:..:..")) {
                    macCount++;
                   /* ClientList.add("Client(" + macCount + ")");
                    IpAddr.add(splitted[0]);
                    HWAddr.add(splitted[3]);
                    Device.add(splitted[5]);*/
                    System.out.println("Mac : "+ mac + " IP Address : "+splitted[0] );
                    System.out.println("Mac_Count  " + macCount + " MAC_ADDRESS  "+ mac);
                Toast.makeText(
                        getApplicationContext(),
                        "Mac_Count  " + macCount + "   MAC_ADDRESS  "
                                + mac, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                }
               /* for (int i = 0; i < splitted.length; i++)
                    System.out.println("Addressssssss     "+ splitted[i]);*/

            }
        }
    } catch(Exception e) {

    }               
}
