While developing Android applications, I'm often juggling lots of Android machines, both real and virtual. Since I often need to connect to these machines over the network with adb connect, I found it useful and educational to write a small home screen widget that always shows the device's IP address. This is a pretty dumb application, but I decided that it would be a good opportunity to learn how to publish apps on the Android Market.

The main screen lists all network interfaces and enumerates their IPv4/IPv6 addresses.

This home screen widget always shows your current IP address.
