Android Question How to find my IP on the NO-IP site?

[Oceaneml]

I use the NO-IP website and send several commands on an IP camera remotely.
Rather than ask every time my IP at the same time I send an order, I would get once at the beginning and then concatenate with my following commands.
So I tried using the following program: (Source EREL)

If FirstTime Then
Dim ni As NoIpValues
ni.Initialize
ni.host = "http://myadress.no-ip.biz"
ni.username = "myname"
ni.Password = "mypassword"
CallSubDelayed2(DynamicIp, "Start", ni)
End If


I do not know how to use DynamicIp. I stated in "string" but I have an error message "Invalid Double" and DynamicIp value is empty ?

I don't understand the above code. What is DynamicIp? It is probably a module that you are missing in your project.

I wonder if DynamicIp is not the module you had published in your tutorial : No-IP Android client - Access your device over the internet

 

[Oceaneml]

Yes, That's it

Ok so, in line 33 of DynamicIP.bas, have you already tried to replace

job.Download("http://api.exip.org/?call=ip")

by

job.Download("http://www.icanhazip.com/")

(source)

I just tried but it is similar.
The problem is that I do not know what to put as a variable in "Main" to concatenate the IP with my order.
There is something I did not understand.
By what variable goes my IP address "xx.xx.xx.xx"?

In fact I am looking, from my smartphone, what is my dynamic IP address of my home PC, via the No-IP website...

Ok so that's not the right module to use as the DynamicIP.bas module kindly provided by Erel was to register the Android smartphone with a "No-IP" provider to be able to access the Android smartphone using a provider's subdomain.

If I well understand your need your PC is already linked to the provider's subdomain using the provider's own software. So what you only have to do is to access that subdomain using a httpUtils2 for example.

In fact:http://my_pc.noip.com will always be accessable using its URL even if the IP change

Am I wrong ?

 

[Oceaneml]

No, you're right.
But I can not find how to get my IP on the No-IP website.
I send many commands but I do not know how to just get the address to send other commands directly without going through the no-ip site.
Currently I use "http://myaccount.no-ip.biz:myport/myorder" and I would love to get my IP with a command like "? = Call ip"

I am sorry. I did not found in their API.
